I don’t know if this is the right board to be posting on but I’ve been thinking about getting small ships from halo and putting them in bottles. It’s seems like a cool idea and is different than regular ships in a bottle ( picture is not mine)

You should do it. I think it would be kind of neat seeing a starship in a bottle as opposed to a regular ship.

I've got the starter set to that game and I think covenant expansion. Is it even fun? I'd like to whip it out for nostalgias sake on game night

This wouldn't actually be that cool. Ships in a bottle are cool because they dont fit.

Put the ships in the bottle and build them on supports with the same index of refraction as a clear resin. Build it so they are shooting at each other. Inject smoke/effect colors
Become youtube famous.

You're welcome. Sounds pretty cool

It is assembled in the bottle.
The individual parts of a ship in a bottle fit. The completed ship does not.

They don't. It's just sitting on the other side of the bottle. Optical illusion.

Cut bottle... insert ship... glue bottle back together

surround the ship in resin using a bottle-shaped mold and blow the glass bottle around the resin

Everything folds kind of flat and they use tweezers after they insert it to pull strings on the rigging and it all kind of flips up..it's pretty neat but they don't build them in the bottle it's just a cool bit of pre planning

Right now trying to find if they have pre maid models that I could maybe cut to fit in the bottle or if I have to make one myself
