Beautiful piece!

" I purchased this because I was excited to display the finished piece in my living room. It looks fantastic. I like the idea of a ship in a bottle, but find them a bit over the top, decor wise. The Lego version is cool, creative, and an awesome conversation piece! This was my first time building a Lego set. I found that everything was reasonably straightforward and doable, although the transparent bottle construction challenged me a bit. I found it impossible to connect the flat base of the bottle with the round corner pieces, and this made the overall construction of the bottle feel precarious. Not sure if I did something wrong, but in the end I got a fully constructed bottle that seems to be in okay shape. It might not be perfect, but it should hold up as long as no one goes and knocks it about aggressively.
Overall, I had fun building this, and would love to see more similar items from Lego! The other kit I'm coveting is the Piano, but that's a bit pricey for me for now. Maybe someday! I'd love to see more pieces that function as nice decor elements in the home. "
