Harold Hahn

I believe that the first picture that Dave posted is from Hahn’s Colonial Shipyard Diorama. If that’s correct, the scale is 1:96. How many ship model builders could scratch build the small boat and crew to that scale?

Roger

the B&W are from the Halifax model

the first color photo was the last thing Harold did. I was sitting with him in his workroom and asked him 'that model has been sitting there 2 months are you going to finish it?" "Nope! and that's that had enough." i am not sure what the ship is Notice not a single figure on the model. I do not remember if he intended on a full crew or not. I do know he was getting fed up with the constant argument about figures on models.
