The newcomer "BowerBird" showcases the completed model

This is my model display cabinet. Since my home is a high-rise residence of only 124 square meters, there is very little space to put a sailboat model. In the future, I won't make a very large boat because there is no place to put it at home. I don't have a courtyard or a loft and my finances are tight. I only make small ships in a 1:72 or 1:96 scale, as well as some two-masted or single-masted ships in a 1:48 scale.

Wonderful! Keep up the good work, but you may need a bigger house a few years down the line. :)
Now I calculate the size of the cabinets and then buy the models. One compartment can probably hold about two small boats. When it's all filled up one day, perhaps I won't make new models anymore, unless I sell the old ones and have some empty space.
 
Welcome to the forums ! Your models are very nice. I especially like the food on the plates and the lantern lights. I hope you get many more years of enjoyment out of this hobby !
 
Welcome aboard. Thanks for sharing photos of your wonderful builds. They are incredible!
