Wall Fragment from the Tomb of Amenemhet and His Wife, Hemet
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12
(c. 1991 - 1784 B.C.)
Limestone, with pigment
Museum Purchase Fund, 1920.262
Lauded by Breasted as "one of the finest pieces I ever saw," this relief still retains its original, brightly colored four-thousand-year-old pigment. The function of Egyptian tomb art was to preserve scenes of daily life for the afterlife. In this scene, Amenemhet and his wife are outfitted with food and drink to sustain them after death. With this piece, Breasted provided the museum with a beautiful and archetypal example of Egyptian funerary art that also depicts the daily lives of ancient Egyptians.
Model Boat
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11 / 12 (c. 2134 - 1784 B.C.)
Wood with pigment
In the Middle Kingdom, tomb paintings and statues were often supplemented with wooden models. This boat is fully equipped with a crew, oars, and a mast. It was thought that the model could provide the soul of the deceased not only with routine transportation, but also with the ability to make the pilgrimage to the sacred city of Abydos in southern Egypt, the cult center of the God Osiris.
Gift of Henry H. Getty, Charles L. Hutchinson, Robert F. Fleming, and Norman W. Harris, 1894.241

In the early 1960s launched a range of three clockwork boats moulded in plastic. in the words of the Meccano Magazine of the time - 'Hornby Speed Boats - Famed for Reliability and Realism
'Here are three excellent scale models of popular marine craft. Each is powered by a strong nickel-plated clockwork motor, giving 120 to 140 feet on one winding. Propellors and adjustable rudders are of solid brass. You'll be proud to own a Hornby Speedboat. The use of high impact Polystyrene in these models enables toughness and strength to be combined with greater buoyancy and accurate detailing of the decks and superstructure.'
In practice while closer to 'models' compared with their Tri-ang competitors, they were less robust and with too many small pieces to fall off, get lost or be broken. One innovation was a buoyancy aid for the keys.
In addition to the RAF launch shown here there was an open cockpit speed boat and a patrol boat. They turn up at toy auctions from time to time....
Operation Pluto (Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean) was a Second World War operation by British engineers, oil companies and armed forces to construct undersea oil pipelines under the English Channel between England and France in support of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
The new outdoor pond at the Scottish Maritime Museum is now structurally complete and has been partly filled thanks to the local Fire Service. I could not resist the temptation to christen the new pond and thought it fitting that my model of the museum's very own steam yacht Carola should be the first vessel on the water. Myself and the other local club members are eagerly awaiting the complete filling and Grand Opening.
The kit was designed to have sails but not being into sewing I left her without. Quite a satisfying task and kept me busy for a fair number of afternoons.
Got to love this little gem, a steam powered model paddle steamer that was remote controled and painted to look like the Adelaide Steamer on the Murray River.
Taken at Lake Goldsmith 100th Steam & Vintage Rally, at Lake Goldsmith, Victoria in 2012.
We went to the Museum of Montserrat while we were at Montserrat. The entrance is from the Square of Saint Mary, and you go down some stairs. The museum is underground.
Was many works of art here to see.
It occupies the area beneath the three squares that stand before the monastery. Was built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1929 and 1933.
The Museum of Montserrat showcases a selection of the most outstanding artistic and archaeological heritage at the thousand-year-old Abbey of Montserrat. The museum contains six very different collections. More than 1300 pieces are exhibited in the museum, embracing a vast chronological period.
The original basis of the Museum of Montserrat was the so-called ‘Biblical Museum’, a huge, admirable work by the monk Dom Bonaventura Ubach (Barcelona, 1879-Montserrat, 1960), who spent long periods of his life in Jerusalem and Beirut from 1906.
The oldest exhibit is an Egyptian sarcophagus from the 13th century BC, whilst the most recent is a painting by Sean Scully dating to 2010. The sarcophagus forms part of the Archaeology of the Biblical East Collection, along with other objects from the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, the Holy Land and Cyprus.
There is also an exhibition devoted to the Iconography of Our Lady of Montserrat, which traces the changing way in which the Virgin has been represented in art over the centuries.
Since 2006 the Museum of Montserrat has a new section: a collection of about 160 Byzantine and Slavic icons that is titled Phos Hilaron (joyful light). These icons presented on the environment of an oriental church where the light has an important role.
The other collections are: Goldsmithery, comprising liturgical objects from the 15th to the 20th century; Painting from the 13th to the 18th century, which includes works by Berruguete, El Greco, Caravaggio, Luca Giordano, Tiepolo, etc.; and 19th and 20th century Painting, which boasts one of the finest collections of Catalan painting, including such outstanding names as Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Nonell, Mir, Gimeno, Anglada Camarasa, Picasso, Dalí, etc. French Impressionist art is also represented in this section, with works by Monet, Sisley, Degas, Pissarro, etc., as well as graphic works by many of the greatest contemporary artists: Chagall, Braque, Le Corbusier, Rouault, Miró, Dalí, Picasso, Clavé, Tàpies, etc.
The Museum of Montserrat is a living entity. It experiences a constant transformation and continuous and renewed exhibitions of its collection. Only a small part of it is exhibited permanently. This is why temporary exhibitions follow each other non-stop in the Pere Daura Room and the Pere Pruna Art Space. These temporary exhibitions make up the best complement to the Museum’s visitors and stand for the real efforts of this institution. On 2015 a Sean Scully art space was opened at Santa Cecilia in Montserrat.

"Bob and Judy Reader" by Grace E. Storm, published by Lyons and Carnahan, 1936. Illustrated by Vera Stone Norman.
This model was built by my grandfather, Dr. A.J. May of Hayling Island. He built this in 1937 - totally scratch built. It is about 4 foot long, lights up internally and still has the original light bulbs he fitted back then. It was left to me when he passed away in 1968 and has been my pride and joy ever since.

The Riva Aquarama was designed by Carlo Riva in the 1960s. The Riva is noted as one of the most legendary and famous speedboats out there. It is available as a FULLY ASSEMBLED model ready to be proudly display as a piece of history.
Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.
This is truly beautiful model of the Riva Aquarama with western red cedar and mahogany hull. There are multiple tones of wood decking on the bow. You can find exquisite details from the leather works to all the realistic gauges. All fittings such as windshield frame, wiper, navigation lights, mirror, flag pole are made of stainless steel. The cockpit has two hand stitched individual leather seats as well as a rear passenger seat. The swimming platform also comes with stainless steel hand rails.
The model rests on a wooden stand for easy display.
History: In 1962 Carlo Riva introduced the AQUARAMA series of new fast runabouts. She was powered by a 2-Riva 350 horse power engines and was hailed as the water borne Ferrari by the industry. AQUARAMA is still being built by Riva; over 800 have been delivered. Without question, Riva of Italy, which traces its beginnings to a mid-19th century carpenter shop, is the world leader in producing elegent, luxury wooden runabouts.
Yours truly I have built Scale models from a early age, This ones a Graupner Motor Torpedo Boat which we fitted with Radio Control.
The Build plans can be seen hanging under the Steam Boat Model. In the Top corner the Red Hull is for a Sail Yacht which is under constrution.
In the 1980s i moved onto RC 1/12 Electric Car racing i will dig out some pictures later.
The Shead was about 20ft x 8ft had full electrics and heating, many a long winters evening was spent in there, to this day i watch very little TV probably because i never watched it from a early age, always doing other creative things.
In Case you wonder why the Air Pistol,We had the Occasional Visits from a Rat.

Video of a small catamaran I built from reeds, with a plastic bag as sail. This is one of many boats I've built for my kids from stuff found on the beach.
I've built tons of boats over the years and I think a catamaran is about the most seaworthy type of boat you can build from flotsam.
These boats can actually go quite fast if the wind is right, and you can even set a course with the rudder. Great fun for, ahem, the kids.

December 19, 2013: On the occasion of finding out that a plank bender for model boat work costs a bloody fortune I made my own. The good news: it works; the bad news: I'd like to make more but I only had enough gears in the scrap bin to make the one!

1/24th scale scratch built model constructed because I knew the real one (which is on the slipway at the SMM in Irvine looking rather worse for wear) would never sail again and I liked the look of her so much that I just had to make my own!
