How do you make the rigging for model ships?
The rigging on your model should replicate the rigging of the ship you are modelling but the scale of you model will affect this and the material you use for rigging. You will probably need some reference material or guide of some kind if your experience with rigged ships is limited as sailing ship rigging can be extremely intricate and complex. I would recommend a book such as 'Ship Modeller's Shop Notes' put out by the Nautical Research Guild, edited by Merrit Edson. It has great pieces written by the likes of Howard Chapelle and good articles on model ropemaking. Try your local library and if they don't have this they may have something else that will help.
How is a wooden ship inside a glass bottle made?
How the Ship Gets Inside the BottleThe ship is made in such a way that it will fit into the neck of an ordinary bottle. For example, if it is a sailing ship, the masts are made to hinge where they meet the hull so that they fold back, and the spars are rigged so that they swivel and lie flat. The rigging is made to run freely and not secured until the ship has been inserted into the bottle. The ship is designed to collapse into a 'sausage' that will then fit down the neck of the bottle and it is then set into the sea. The rigging that runs through the bowsprit and out of the bottleneck is then used to gently haul up the masts, the yards are squared, and the rigging secured at the bowsprit. The excess rigging is then removed. There are many other techniques used to add to the 'impossible' illusion, such as building the ship in pieces which are small enough and put in separately and the adding of components after the ship is inside the bottle.
