I had a hard enough time to build the Kon-Tiki balsa wood model for my Tiki altar. Just looking at these plans makes me unnerved. I think I like my bottle ships already assembled. The souvenir shops here around the port of Hamburg are full of them (and all the other sailor's bar paraphenalia like glassfloats, puffer fish, sea shells), ranging from a few bucks into the hundreds. My favourite is one with the sinking Titanic in it. I have yet to come across one with the Kon-Tiki. In Hilo I found an (Phillipine imported) bottle with an outrigger, natives, and a native hut on stilts in it. Now how to get the Tiki into it....
