So was this a kit build or are all the pieces handcrafted? It is very imressive...I have seen your other videos too and they are nice as well. It appears that you have a bit of a different style of building than most ship in bottle artists.
Also, adding scale people would be a great idea because it would bring some life to the model instead of a static display.
Great job! How much do you sell somthing like this for?
In this case the Titanic model is a Revel kit...quite common in fact! Normally I build everything by scratch and I was luckily able to find a bottle with a mouth that could actually swallow this ship!
I was able to kit bash the ship with all my standard home made ship in bottle hinges and even put micro cut detailed parts knowing full well that the ship is encased in a dust free environment!
This ship in bottle is currently on Display at the Miami beach Marina.
I discovered the bottles for sale at a home goods store, there were only 2 available at that store so I bagged them!
It is not an untouchable size because other ship in bottle builders if there are any out there can also participate if finding these and constructing a unique sized ship in bottle using this type of bottle.
the bottle is sold at 30 dollars each and may be the largest size available to really ambitious ship in bottle builders.
what kind of pop was in a bottle that big :P

This may be the largest comercially available bottle for ship in bottle building.
There are even larger bottles made but finding these or even having one made is almost a mission impossible!

oh, well I guess if you could make some friends who blow glass that could be good ha ha. So did you buy the bottle, find it or what?

This may actually be the Largest bottle I have ever worked in!
Maybe on Later models I will try to work in adding scale people on the ships decks!
