I have been absent a while (because of my chronic illness again), but I love this forum! I've noticed that there is very little posting and interaction now. I would urge those who are in the know to respond to new people joining and asking questions if you can. Kind of off-putting for someone to get excited about finding this forum and getting no responses at all the first time they ask for help about something in this wonderful world of SIB. I really hope the activity picks back up. I would really miss this if it was gone.

Love this!

Don't know where or who to direct you to, but it is nice to have something made by and passed down to family.

Nice family heirloom!

Sounds like you are very talented!

Nice!

Enjoyed the video, good job!

Welcome!

Never thought about that, not sure

Welcome Howard! Interesting base on the first one

The unfolding platform with the inside of the glass under the sea platform painted to give the illusion of it being filled with something. Yes, could control how things ended up sitting from the top. It is on here somewhere. The Rouse Simmons, nicknamed the Christmas Tree Ship in a Christmas ornament globe.

Wish I had a way to do this too. I have one with a broken bottle that I wish there was a way to repair but I think mine is broken into too many pieces to repair at all

Duh, Can't believe I didn't think of this because I used that exact method to do one in a Christmas tree ornament (clear bulb) but with the narrow part on top instead of the bottom. Age is playing hide and seek with my memory!

Sounds like quite a life Jack!

Welcome Michel!

Fascinating! I cannot understand how they positioned them in place after putting putty in from bottom and keep everything straight and at the right level and depth in the putty without things leaning over in the process.

Thank you and the same to you!

Is the bottom (sea) packed full of putty?

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving too!

Amazing work!

Welcome Joe! Pretty good first build! Jesse

Looks awesome! Jesse

The model is great and the base is really awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Jesse

Are you sure you haven't done this before?!?! This looks great. My first one looked like a shipwreck in a bottle. Jesse

Doing pretty good for your very first one, keep up the good work! I like that bottle too! Jesse
