Those are really nice. What is the average building scale? I enjoyed my time as a HO scale Railroad modeler.
 
Man. So real I could climb in and take off.
We're these kits or stick built ?
I would love to see the process if custom stick build.
Always enjoyed wood models.
Ever since advanced drafting class had us building 1/12th scale houses per our drawings.
Just the frame.
 
Thank you for all the king words fellows. Here is a little more eye candy. I built the HMS Victory as a for my local library. I received wood from England from the real Victory ship and incoporated it into the model. The city Council gave me a letter of commendation. It's on the back of a city truck being delivered to the Library and it's final resting place.

I also built a tall wooden ship model for my local hospital, which auctioned it off to help buy equipment for their cardio rehab facility. It was won by a local Doctor.

I received the Creole Queen in a box, partially built by a master modeler who had recently passed away before it's completion. I was able to finish it within 6 months. It was a commission piece. I was made R/C operational with the paddle wheel being operated by a motor. I also installed lnterior lighting per the owners request.

This was a model that I built of the USS Constitution for an insurance corporation in CT. It measured 4 feet long. I ordered wood from the real Constitution and incorporated in into the model.

I built the Danish training ship Danmark and it went to the president of a west indies trading company in Fort Lauderdale Florida. The CEO flew his Cessna plane into our local airport, where I met him on the tarmac, handed off the Ship model and watched him take off on his way home. It's displayed in their lobby. That was one of the coolest things to happen to me in a while.
