I've been settling up another display cabinet and it has given me a chance to get stuff out of the loft that has not been on show for years.
These are two model ships that I built well over 30 years ago. One is the Revell kit of HMS Victory, the other is a wooden kit of a fishing schooner.
Float on,

Beautiful work - model ships are hard! SFZ
ReplyDeleteI agree, gorgeous old ships Kev! They look great! is the ocean a glass table?
ReplyDeleteThanks folks. The ocean this time is a plastic sheet designed to simulate water. I couldn't face the cold to use my garden table!
ReplyDeleteThat plastic oceanic sheet looks really effective Kev. The shot from above is fabulous.
DeleteThanks. Yes, it suits this scale.
DeleteGreat looking models. They have survived their years in storage very well. Nice sea effect.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kev! I had done a couple of model ship w-a-y back in the day but my heart was into airplanes back then so the ships got sunk!
ReplyDeleteThanks people, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThe penultimate shot really reminds me of my late Mum's fave TV show, The Onedin Line, Kev! Remember that one?
ReplyDeleteI do, it was like The Brothers but a century earlier and with sailing ships instead of articulated lorries!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! The Brothers, that does ring a bell Kev! There were lots of shows like these that my parents watched which I was too young to see or be interested in, like Man at the Top, The Baron, Man Alive and the Lotus Eaters. Remember them?
DeleteI do, like you, I didn't watch them either!
