(Air)Ship in a Bottle. This is a mod of set 21313, the LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle, easily one of my all-time favorite sets.




I used 3L bars to attach the envelope to the ship, which means I had to take out the tan plate in the bow of the ship under the pearl gold mast step, otherwise it would be too tall to fit in the bottle.

The underside of the envelope is a combination of white plates, tiles, and jumper plates. The 3L bars connect to round plates with holes. I didn’t have a 2×8 white plate for the base, so I used a 2×6 and a 2×2 instead.

The next pic shows the envelope with the top and sides removed and the underside partially disassembled. The center of the envelope is SNOT bricks, regular bricks, and plates. The sides and top of the envelope are made of plates and slopes. I like the 2×2 and 1×4 slopes better than 1×2, but I had to make do with what I had.

The last pic shows the attachment of the propeller. I wanted it to attach to a reddish-brown piece, so I replaced the gray SNOT brick with a reddish-brown 1×2. The propeller attaches to a small bushing with a Technic pin.

And yes, the ship is sailing through clouds made of Unikitty baseplates and ice cream scoops. 😃
