The Trent Model Ship
Designed and built without a kit in 2023.
“Trent” was a workboat built of wood from photographs found on the internet.
She would have been about forty feet long and built of steel construction.
Built in 1948 and worked in Ontario until 2018.
Her interior is a made up version of how I thought she might look.
Activate the three light switches for a great effect.

Olympus Model Ship
Built from photos in 2023.
Luxury yacht built originally in 1929 for George Heck of the New York stock exchange.
She was repainted Navy Grey in 1942 and operated out of Washington. Sold to a New York owner in 2016.
In the model all decks are lit up and her interior is make believe. She took about 400 hours to design and build.

The Griffen Explorer

She is a 120 foot motor sailer vintage 1950 with a steel hull.
No kit or photos used, but made up own plans. Constructed from wood strips and hand carved pieces of wood form this beautiful craft. She took about 300 hours to build.
