Sorry guys, probably not what you thought.
Here's some pics of a few model ships I've built over time.

I like them.

Thank you.
The first and last photos are of a kit-bashed Lindberg North Atlantic Trawler. It was supposed to be a static model but I RC'd it, and put lights in it. It's about 17" long.
All of the rest of the models were scratch built years ago. I didn't do much with the models for a long time, but in the past few years have gone back to building them again.

I'm impressed! I've always been amazed at the skill in guys working with the miniature chains and with brass stock. It's a real talent.

Nice work. It reminds me of when I was a young boy and had a paper route. One of my customers scratch built ships and boats and I would spend extra time at his place looking at them and watching him work on them. His wife always had a cookie or two for me to eat while I was there. I later moved away for 35 years and he died while I was gone. I often wished I would have been around so I could have purchased one of his boats. Good memories... Thanks for posting....
