About Miniature Boats In Bottles
If we think for a moment the ship is clearly much larger than the surface of the mouthpiece in the bottle however our perception of small vessels are made of wood, paper screens and threads
The secret is that the hull of the ship is small enough to enter through the neck of the bottle, but the screens and poles and supports the sail are folded and can be pulled into position using the control thread.
The wood for the hull and glass bottle should be chosen according to the model and where the bottle will be placed or displayed on shelves or tables with easy measurement of parts of the vessel controlled by the inner diameter of the bottle neck. Typically, wood is hardwood like a spruce or pine, and should be near without flaws.
For other wood supplies including bamboo skewers of small diameter pens for spars, carved popsicle sticks and lifeboats, timber matching hulls for standing screens, and larger blocks of wood pieces for standing work are raised
Yarn, wire, glue, and clear nail polish are used for rigging, metal trims such as rails, and pieces attached together with nail polish are also used as beeswax glue to help seal the threads with paint, enamel models in various colors, and fine brushes Is the material and tool for painting parts of the medium heavy ship of white bond paper cut into the shape of the screen, and the stitches are taken on with a pencil which is also used for the screen curve.
This hobby also requires the selection of simple tools such as knives, hobby drills with fine bits, and miniature screwdrivers, saws, and clamps. Some tools must be made for a specific size bottle and this model includes wire tweezers, spoons, and tampers to reach the back of the bottle And to scoop and tamping putty or clay into place the clothes hanger can be cut and shaped into a long handle for this tool, and pieces cut from tin can be soldered to the cable to complete the miniature of the boat in the following bottle some samples of miniature boats in bottles
