Chances are you have this at home: a ship inside a bottle, or else a nipa hut enclosed. As a kid I've often wondered how they manage to deftly put the thing inside. Via the bottle's mouth or a hole at the bottom to be sealed back later?
In the Philippines, before everyone was forcibly made to dance Thriller en masse, prisoners used to make these painstaking bottled crafts to earn extra. Maybe, they still do.
Watch Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones where Mark Wahlberg plays the role of a dad with a huge collection of bottled ships he then proceeds to smash when his daughter dies. The collapsible ship fits effortless through the neck, and then you just tug some strings to unfurl the masts and sails.
Maybe the nipa hut is devilishly harder, but I still I cringed when Wahlberg tosses them ships to the wall.
Here's Julia Morley, sweating it out over Lego bricks for three days.
