Right.
As obvious as the Enterprise is for this… enterprise, hahaha, I think I prefer starting off with the Red Dwarf. Since I’ll be sliding it into a Jack Daniels whiskey bottle, I have a very limited hole size for entry. With that being said, I also want to maximize the incongruity of the ship in the bottle. This is more traditionally achieved by sliding the hull into the bottle as a couple pieces, with all the masts and rigging lying flat with guide strings to pull them up. I do have the pokey wire frame on the one end to work with but it’s not much.
I’m kinda seeing how I’ll do this, but 5 minutes ago I had a totally different vision. I’ll have to think about this harder and do some drawings.
