Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

After 13 years the owners wife of the ship found me again (see bottle ID 632). She asked me if I could build their new ship for the 50th birthday of her husband, owner of the Switserland II. She provided me with drawings and the original paint, and the project started. I visited the ship in Amsterdam and took a lot of pictures of many details. The model was made of polystyreen and the see was made of liquid resin.
