Ship model.

[Car Nut]

Those are a work of art, congrats guys. I’ve always wanted to build one, my dad did when I was younger. Too bad someone can’t buy them built already.

My uncle gave me a model over 30 years ago of the Cutty Sark that he built. Wow, just the detail alone on some of these ship models is amazing. I have patients, but not that much. I wish I still had that model to remind me of him. It was a lot of work building it, I'm sure.

I have that model kit in my closet to build.

Those ship models look great. Doing models is much like restoring a real car. It takes the same patience and must be done in baby steps.
I had always wanted to do one of those giant aircraft carrier models.

and just imagine some people build them in bottles

Each of you who have the patience to build something like that have my utmost respect. I thought I would go crazy 35 yrs. ago putting together a GI Joe aircraft carrier for my son for Christmas.

I wanted the GI Joe aircraft carrier so bad when I was a kid.
It was awesome.
Actually, I still want one.

This is an RC model a friend of mine Dad built. He also built the cabinet. It’s huge.

Is that the USS Constitution? If so, can you tell me which company produced the kit?

Yes it is. It's a Revell kit. I found this on that someone bought in the 70s but never did anything with it.
