Found an old whiskey bottle in good shape thinking about trying a ship in a bottle. I am finishing up the Endurance an next up is the Essex . The bottle is a pint bottle that had a cork . Going to give it a try as a side project
Alex, congratulations ! what a wonderful job, what a dimensions and scale of the boat ?Good for you. Most of my models have gone into bottles. No mater what anyone else says, they are easier to keep clean! The gentleman's advice about glass clarity is important. No point in making all the effort if you can't see it.

Thank you. She is the 1851 clipper Flying Cloud, 225 ft. long (69 meters) in a 5 liter lab bottle, 32' = 1" (1/384). What folks rarely ask is how long it took to build. In this case, it was 367 hours. This is one of my favorite detail pictures.Alex, congratulations ! what a wonderful job, what a dimensions and scale of the boat ?
