JesseLee Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Looks great! I'm curious as to how you did the paddlewheel in the water. The pre-built part has something white pre-made on the bottom. What is that? How did you press it into the sea & keep the sea surface like you wanted it with it being at the back of the bottle & the body of the vessel itself in the way?

DSiemens Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 She's coming together. Does it get harder to move around with more pieces in the bottle or is it the same as they are progressively smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's hard for me to describe it. This white thing is a piece of a tissue. I didn't have to press anything into the water. I installed the wheel, added some plasticine and painted surf with white paint. I'm recording the whole process and when I finish, I'll upload it on YouTube. It's getting harder to move around, less and less place and the pieces are really delicate. Artur John Zuch and JesseLee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artur Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hello. I finished constructing the ship in a bottle. It took me a year and 4 months and now it's complete. I'm quite satisfied with the result. Artur JesseLee, John Zuch, Chasseur and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseLee Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Love it! The rafts were a nice extra touch. Something got my interest up but I can't find any info. I am a flag nut. Every time I see one I don't know I try to look it up but I can't find any info on the 2 on this one. Can anyone help me?

DSiemens Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 That was an incredibly fun video! Some times you don't realize the amount of work this takes until you see it but together like that. I also love all the tools you used. Everything seemed to be just perfect for the job.
