    Hi All, 
    I did have a go many , many years ago and this was the result , I know it's no way as good as making the ship out of wood but it was a start . What do you think about it, next time I'll build it from wood .

    Hi all,
    I managed to get my hands on the following books ( see photo ) .
    The one called "Secrets to Ships in Bottles"  may help me pick something simple to go for and what you gentlemen have suggested I'm looking forward to my first attempt at a SIB!
    many thanks once again for encouragement gentlemen.

    Thank you all for your encouragement, it's going to help me no end on my first project. Nothing fancy , just a simple one masted ship to start with and see how it turns out.
    Thank you all once again.

    Hi all,
    While serving in the military, I did once try and put a a ship in a bottle, this was a plastic 'man of war' in a glass bottle , I've still got it but it's not the same as putting something made from wood , paper and thread with my own hands into a bottle . I've never made anything from wood bar a fruit bowl I made at school many years ago but, with all the encouragement I've got from all of you maybe this will be something I can be proud of  and say with pride " I made that" . I want to learn as much as I can from all of you . Maybe one day I'll put a Stalwart in a bottle , how?  I've got no idea but how hard can it be ?

    Hi Jesse,
     I'm sorry but, I can't remember who made them . This was back in the late 70s different but true it was plastic ship in a real glass bottle.
