Ship in a bottle

This is my first attempt at making a ship in a bottle. It took me several hours (I had friends over for most of the time, so the exact time spent on it is hard to tell).

I have a habit of jumping in at the deep end and being a bit obsessive, and this is a perfect example of one of those times. If you think it looks a bit rough, or are just curious, check out the scale in this picture in scraps: [link]

Anyway, I'm going to try for some better detail in the next one, but I first have to get some proper wood. This one is made from a carved pencil, a bristle from my hairbrush, some greaseproof paper and some fimo (for the waves). The bottle is a sample bottle to calibrate one of the machines at my dads work.
