  3. Spence Delin's Models

    Spence Delin is a longtime, award-winning Pennsylvania-based ship modeler. Spence creates his many impressive models from scratch with scrupulous research, across a wide variety of sailing subjects.
     
    I recently had an opportunity to photograph several of Spence's models. I present some of these photos here for Model Ship World members. His model photos will also be seen on the Philadelphia Ship Model Club (PSMS) web site in the near future. When these photos go live, I'll update with an online link here to the club's web site.

  4. It Takes A Village

    My diorama features a Japanese kit model of an Edo period cargo ship, Higaki Kaisen (circa 1740). I've christened my version as "Ongakuka Maru" (on the ship's rear ensign), which means: "Musician- (SHIP)...pun intended.
    The model is 1/72 scale and was a challenge to build since the instructions were all in Japanese. There also wasn't a straight line anywhere on the hull...but, with some help here on the forum (Clare Hess), I got this wildly interesting and challenging ship model completed. This kit is extremely well-engineered, seemingly historically accurate and has excellent quality materials, especially the aromatic cypress wood used throughout. I did modify and add some Swiss Pear. It was also loads of fun to make the village house, the setting along Japan's coastline, and of course, adding the figures which animates the ship.
    Thanks for looking.

  5. LeTigre - French Privateer 1780

    This model diorama is based on the Vanguard HMS Alert Cutter kit. The kit is excellent, however I did modify components and added sails and their required running rigging. I chose to place the model in Caribbean waters making headway from the Leeward islands. I imagined the French privateering crew on their way to raid English shipments and plantations on the U.K.'s "sugar islands." I kept the diorama's base in a neutral color to keep the focus on the setting.

  6. HMS Swan (1775)

    These photos show my first attempt at a diorama and I featured a highly-modified HMS Pegasus kit (Amati/Victory Models) for the subject: the first ship of the Swan Class, appropriately, HMS Swan! After completion, I had fun staging and taking the photos. The final display is large (40" X 20" X 3")  as I had to show a reasonable amount of water around the 1/64- scale ship.
