Roger Pellett Posted March 19, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2021 That is what we call a Decorator Model. It does not resemble a real ship, is not built to scale, and was probably mass produced. If you like it, enjoy it. Financially it has no value. Roger mtaylor and Chuck Seiler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathead Posted March 19, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 19, 2021 Welcome to MSW, we're glad you found us. I suggest you read this post, pinned at the top of the New Member Introductions section, which directly addresses questions of this sort. In short, Roger is correct, its only value is whatever personal connection you feel to it (which is not a dismissal, that can be quite powerful). If you wanted, you could read up on some the tutorials here and put some time into upgrading the model. There are simple things that could improve its condition and appearance, such as revising the rigging. This could help it feel more "yours" without a lot of investment.

Lish Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted April 2, 2021 Thankyou for the advice but I think I will keep it as is because it has more of an emotional attachment how it has been for years Keith Black, Chuck Seiler, Cathead and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
