Very hard to get a good picture as the bottle is old and not perfectly made .my 2 year old daughter finds it fascinating

Good to hear from you Jim, that looks wonderful, but I imagine it was a difficult thing to work out how the bits went together in the correct order.
I can't believe your daughter is two already, time certainly flies!

Nice model. If the worst forcast for global warming are right you may yet have a sea coast.

Plasticine, three Colours light green, light blue, White for the waves.
Worked with a long flat screwdriver in the bottle.
