What this place really could use is more ship models. #modelships

Model sailboat in a window, with other models around. It's a Parret Flatner, since you asked.

While restoring a model of a Texas Scow Sloop, I found it had become infested with pests. #modelships

Model of a Texas Scow Sloop from Howard Chapelle's "American Small Sailing Craft" modeled at 3/4"=1'. On carpet with the rig down and sails removed.

The aft doghouse removed, exposing a sordid infestation of underworld activity and general vice of a serious nature: Dogs playing poker.

The folks at r/ModelShips say the Terror is actually a forgiving model because the hull is black. I made a gourd into the Terror for Halloween, so why not an actual model

If anyone has advice about dusting and/or cleaning delicate model ships, I would be very grateful to know it!

Considering we have two model ships, I would say he'll be quite happy!

One of the families my father and I did home remodeling for had a yard sale. They're dusty AF and I don't know how to clean them properly without damaging them yet. Some sail parts were already falling off when I bought these.

Model of an 1886 Terrapin Smack from Maryland, USA. Scatch-built from lines drawn by Howard Chapelle. 3/4"=1'. #sailing #sailboat #modelships

A model schooner, gaff-rigged, painted white sails on a calm green river, with the blue sky reflected on it in the background. The boat has a jib, mast hoops, white-painted mast-heads, and a black sheer rail. An anchor dangles from the bowsprit. The boat and sails are reflected in the river.
