Martha
I have been striving to improve the quality of my builds for 2 decades. I suffer from the same frustrations many others have...that piece a bit short, popped strakes, creased copper plates and a careless, damaging swipe of the hand, etc. But I love this past time and I am determined to achieve the level that I see in so many of your images.
I took a break from other ships when I saw this beauty. The kit is by Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum of a Drakeback crab boat. They were popular in the early 1900s as commercial work boats and survive today as pleasure craft.

Monitor
Styrene covered plywood and a tape tube made a pretty nice replica. Luckily the internet has a plethora of plans and photographs to use as reference. Interestingly the configuration of the ship changed enough over time to throw doubt into some drawings.

NewYork Pilot Boat
This is a slightly kit bashed model of the Phantom kit. I added a charging dog figurehead and changed the name to the Ruff Waters as a gift for my vet.

Turtle - Korean Ironclad
Geobukseon, the Turtle, was a 15th Century ship that sported an iron, spiked shell over its top to defend against fire projectiles and boarders (can't fight if you're avoiding spikes). This is a kit-bash of the Young Modeler 1/65 scale model. This model is sold as a two-deck and I added the third deck with a removable top.
