As previously written: "...the entire piece must be balanced and made believable to the discerning eye."
Here, the gulls are captured poetic flight -wings dancing above the wave crests. Creating this is very tedious and a great deal of patience is needed to make it effective.

Dit monumentale gebouw uit 1656 is gevestigd in 's Lands Zeemagazijn.
De collectie van Het Scheepvaartmuseum is één van de grootste en meest vooraanstaande maritieme collecties ter wereld met circa 400.000 objecten, waaronder schilderijen, scheepsmodellen, navigatie-instrumenten en wereldkaarten.
In 2007 sloot het Scheepvaartmuseum voor een renovatie van 4 jaar.
Het Zeemagazijn was toe aan een grondige opknapbeurt.
Het letterlijke hoogtepunt van de renovatie is de overkapping van de binnenplaats, het open plein.

This monumental building from 1656 is located in 's Lands Zeemagazijn.
The collection of Het Scheepvaartmuseum is one of the largest and most prominent maritime collections in the world with approximately 400,000 objects, including paintings, ship models, navigation instruments and world maps.
In 2007 the Maritime Museum closed for a 4-year renovation.
The Zeemagazijn was due for a thorough overhaul.
The literal highlight of the renovation is the roof over the courtyard, the open square.
The country is slowly opening up again and the first outing, with my parents, was Rijksmuseum (== art-/ history museum) which is the biggest (in visitor numbers) museum in the country.
There was a special Revolusi! exposition which was about the struggle for independance of Indonesia after WWII. Indonesia was a Dutch colony before WWII. My parents have a history in Indonesia. The museum is incredible. Beautiful collection, fantastic presentation, everything is top quality.
We went in at opening and went to the main event immediately which is on the 2nd floor, 17th century, Gallery of Honour. The best work from the country's top painters and we had the place to ourselfs.
Shipmodel of the William Rex (1698).
4,5m in length, 4m tall.
An intricate model at 1:160 scale, this 20" inch model took approximately 45 days to build. It is made of pine and basswoods.
This model show the appearance of the famous sidewheeler as she appeared in 1859. The model is made of wood and the flags of soft hand-painted metal.
Built in 1851, she was one of the largest and finest steamboats that had ever been built for the Hudson River. When finished, in design, she was considered the zenith of steamboat architecture. Her model was one of the most beautiful and faultless ever constructed. The SKIDDY was built for dayline service between New York City and Albany, New York. Speed was of dire necessity and she made the run 146 miles, with 6 landings, in 7 1/2 hours.

The MARY POWELL was legendary. When she entered the waters of the Hudson, she was fast becoming the echo of American folklore. Artists who were known for their maritime ship portraits didn't cease producing subjects of the "Queen". Such as shown here in the painting done by James Bard which depict MARY POWELL in her first appearance. During her career she encountered several changes and one lengthening.
A true artist is one who can use few tools to bring about the greatest works. My tools are 'few', yet I am able to produce large and small pieces that bewilder -even myself. But I know this isn't something I can lay credit to. However, from the space that is viewed, I'm here day and night doing fabulous things that is impossible to fathom with words.
This small area is where creativity begins and ends. An area that is filled with more references than tools. A place where the imagination is filled with wonderful thoughts and the process begins after a prayer has been uttered. Here, I can visualize great pieces and bring them to pass -with or without fanfare...but rather, with confidence.
As it is written: "Therefore, cast not away your CONFIDENCE which has great reward. For you have need of ENDURANCE -so that after you have done the will of the Ftaher, you may receive the promise." -Hebrews 10:35-36
I devote and dedicate this Scripture to those who have supported my journey and encouraged me to stay "strong" and "fight the good fight" -not just with their words but with their resources. Had it not been for these unselfish spirits my skills would have been in obscurity.
Yes, this is the 'artist' workspace' - a little area with alot of delivery...to the world.
Drafting any type of plan is time-consuming and it takes alot of research and knowledge of the subject to have a worthy and presentable 'delivery'. Such is the case with this recent project of the famed MARY POWELL.
I have always been scrutinized for my accuracy and detail, but I encourage those who face similiar experiences to overlook the 'nay-sayers' and just 'BE'! Overall, your skills will shine and you will, indeed, have a strong, if not robust, following. We are ALL blessed with some type of gift(s) that we can share with the world...and its by FAITH that those gifts will shine if one can believe and operate in the belief.
The maritime was not my friend in my early years. I had to endure much prejudice and back-biting by 'many' in this field; but by remaining "strong and of good courage" I weathered the storms to be the forerunner of the northeastern steamboats as a modelmaker -just one of the gifts given by "the Father of Lights". True collectors and followers know this and realize the rarity of these works that are coming out of Massachusetts 'today'.
This plan of the MARY POWELL, for accuracy, had to be based upon the scale drawing of her vertical beam engine. From that drawing I was able to 'build' the profile of her appearance when she first entered service in 1861...the beginning of America's Civil War.
Because of my thirty year tenure as a modelbuilder of Northeastern steamboats, there has never been a plan produced on MARY POWELL in the 1861 version. This is the first to come into the amercan maritime as are all the other plans I produced on these vessels. Therefore, none of these models can be copied which make them rare by collectible standards.
This portside profile show the completed model of PLYMOUTH as she appeared two years before she ceased service. As with the entire Fall River Line Collection, I kept the scale at 1:182. This scale allows alot of detail in a small area without straining the eyes to view it.
The model is handcrafted entirely of wood.

The bucentaur (bucintoro in Italian and Venetian) was the ceremonial barge of the doges of Venice. It was used every year on Ascension Day (Festa della Sensa) up to 1798 to take the doge out to the Adriatic Sea to perform the "Marriage of the Sea" – a ceremony that symbolically wedded Venice to the sea.

former lighthouse-ship "Kiel" during the 80ies refitted as barque "Alexander von Humboldt" - will be replaced and is for sale (c. 3,5 Mio. €)
The hull is beginning to take shape. I*m still missing some pieces for the stern/ rudder but the hull sides will soon be finished. I had a lot of 2x2 bricks in various colors, they came in handy for the inner structure.
These are more of my former collection of 1:1250 scale ship models, organized by shipping line. White Star Line w/Titanic at upper left, Cunard at middle right, Union-Castle at upper right, German liners lower left, etc. Acrylic archival-quality cases from the Container Store. A terrible photo, but just wanted to document my collection prior to selling the models.
Update: they have all been sold, and are no longer in my possession.
In preparation for our trip to England I researched all the maritime museums and came across Arlington Court. They have the most fabulous collection of model ships, especially the Napoleonic bone carved prisoner of war models. It was well worth the visit.
March 20, 2014: During a break from work, I found this man carrying a large ship model down Spring St. in downtown Los Angels. No additional information - we were both in a hurry in opposite directions. #dtla #shipmodel

Following the German Invasion of Poland in 1939, the Italian Navy started to develop a new, easy to produce small vessel capable of performing anti-submarine missions. The new ships, known as the Gabbiano Class Corvette had a length of 58.8meters and were armed with a single 100mm gun on the bow and a total of seven 20mm autocannons for anti-aircraft protection.
The ship also carried two torpedo-tubes (one on each side) and up to ten depth charge-throwers and two depth charge racks at the rear of the ship. The ships were also equipped with primitive sonar and hydrophones as well as electric creep engines to silently trail underwater submarines.

Construction of my JMSDF KAGA "Helicopter" Destroyer is almost complete.
It's a very expensive project with at least 500 2x4 DBG tiles but I'm very happy with the result so far.
Hope you guys like it! Don't forget to leave a like and subscribe!
The Littorio Class (sometimes also known as the Vittorio Veneto Class) was a Class of Fast Battleships built in Italy during the Second World War. A total of three entered service during the conflict: Littorio and Vittorio Veneto were commissioned on May 1940 and Roma on June 1942; another ship Imperio was never completed.
These ships were extremely fast with a maximum speed of +30knots and carried a heavy battery of nine 381mm main guns mounted on three triple turrets. They also carried a heavy secondary battery of twelve 152mm guns on four triple turrets and a separate anti-aircraft battery of twelve 90mm guns, twenty 37mm auto-cannons and twenty 20mm auto-cannons. The ship also carried four 120mm older guns designed to fire star-shells for night engagements.
These ships, although as well protected as in other Navies of the time still had a good armored protection that ranged between 380mm on the turrets to 280mm + 70mm extra on the belt.
Although they were very fast and beautiful ships (usually 10knots faster than the British Queen-Elizabeth/Royal Soverign Class Battleships) these ships, like many other Italian ships had a series of problems, namely poor quality of their shells, lack of Naval radar (until 1941-42) and as the War progressed, lack of fuel for operations.
However, it´often forgot that the Littorio-class had one of the most complex and sophisticated fire control systems in the world in 1940. During the opening engagement of the Battle of Cape Matapan, Vittorio Veneto managed straddled HMS Gloucester at 23 km (for context, the Battle of Denmark Strait started at 16 km!).

One area of the NRM Warehouse I would make changes would be to the various (15 or 20) excellent ship models in there. Some are reasonably displayed, some are not, and the lighting does them no justice.
All are 'Railway Steamers/Ships'
Some of these have great value and significance but a good, well-lit display with a proper factsheet detailing the service history would improve matters.
At least they are on display, so congratulations to any museum who doesn't lock them in a store for safe-keeping from the interested public.
There have been several 'Duke of Rothesay's over the years. The model depicts the turbine steamer built for the LMS in 1928 for the Heysham-Belfast route.by Denny of Dumbarton.
Became a Landing Ship and Hospital Ship No 62 in WWII. Scrapped 1957 after almost 30 years service.
