I am an ex merchant mariner. During the long contract at sea I used to build model ships usually without any plans only using pictures and later when internet appeared I used some schemes too.
The models were small no longer than 8 inches or 22 centimeters. I will post some pictures At present as retired I want to build a model of my motor yacht GB 36 classic on which used to live for 12 years in my off time. I was searching for plans but unsuccessful.

Welcome to SoS! Nice models. I can't believe how much detail you packed into such tiny ships!

This doesn't seem possible, as if AI made this picture. How did you make blocks that small?

I used the brown insolation from thin electric cable.
