How to Make a Ship in a Bottle: Odysseus and the Sirens



Support Will: https://www.stormthecastle.com/support.htm

This is a tutorial showing you how to make a ship in a bottle. And this project comes with a theme. It is a scene from the Odyssey.

Odysseus is tied to the mast of his ship and he is listening to the song of the sirens.

Fun little project and in this video I show you several different techniques for making a ship in a bottle including raising the sails with strings, adding hinged parts that you can raise after installation and adding more parts to the ship once it is in place.

I also give you a short look at how I sculpted Odysseus and the Sirens using a two part epoxy resin. This is a common technique for sculpting miniature figures.
