Hi Uwe,

Those are great photos. The detail of some the ships is incredible.

Walking in such a museum, you realize which long way it is to get realy a good modeler.
Especially if you recognize, that some of the models are older than 100 or 200 years.
At this time they did not had a Proxxon, every thing prepared often by Hand

PS: sorry sometimes for the bad quality of the photos. I was not prepared that I can see so much models, so I had only a small camera with me.

Great photos, Uwe, thanks for taking the time to post them. The quality of the models is first class.

These are some truly great models. The cut away ones let you know how tight the conditions on board were and how the vessel functioned. Some unique and highly detailed models. Thanks for sharing.
