Light Vessel 114 was built in Portland, Oregon and launched in 1930. It was stationed about nine miles off Long Island, New York, lighting the path to New York City and supplementing the Fire Island Lighthouse. It remained on that station until 1942. After that, it served on several other stations until being decommissioned in 1971. It was scraped in 2007.
The 1/93 scale model was based on Lindberg's "Nantucket" lightship plastic kit with scratch-built deck houses, smoke stack, rails, and other fittings, to conform with photographs of the original vessel in 1930.

Thanks! I agree. I originally was interested in model ship building because I was interested in galleons and then 18th C warships, but I have found that I really like small craft. It's especially fun thinking that this is something you might realistically be able to sail.

Very nice! It's great to see models of small craft being built.

first time seeing a carronade model, sure you've made all items from scrap because i think there are no kits from manufacturers. Simply awesome!
