I think this may be my first ever "build" thread.
I enjoyed reruns of I Dream of Jeannie in my preteen years and always loved her purple bottle. I hoped to own it one day. I was discouraged at the price they were online and thought maybe I could make one myself (by the way, the price is totally worth it!) Moviefreak happened to have the 1964 Jim Beam decanter for sale in the junkyard so I bought it at the end of November and used December to get my supplies. I ordered a template kit and bought all my paints and was ready to go after the new year. Once I began it took me two weeks to complete. I'm not an artist. I know my lines aren't straight and there are many mistakes, but I am very happy with how the final piece came out. I hope you all like it too.
