HMS Badger in a bottle

As usual, after building a normal scale model, I decided to miniaturise it in a bottle - in this case, a one gallon bottle.

the hull comprised of four pieces - 2 pieces for the hull itself, a centre section which carried the masts assemblies and the rear cabin and stern piece.




The cannons were made from pieces of wood and brass tube and the anchor from wood and wire.


the masts were made from brass tube and the yards, jibs and forestay from brass rod.

    Lovely job Mike. Your use of brass for the masts and spars is interesting and very effective. It's a smart job. You've also managed to find a flawless bottle which is not easy these days. Can we see a straightforward side view which shows the complete stand and the bottle stopper ?
