His will keep you off the streets

I would say Mr Wandsworth that they seem to have a degree of slapdash on their finish, possibly exaggerated by the camera work.
Personally I only made one model ship and it is gathering dust on a shelf. However it is a small perspex shelf in a predominant place
so that any rare visitor cannot help but admire. I admit it was a kit, but, I had to 'carve' the hull and deck 'planks'. Lilla Dan a Baltic Trader
(which resembled a friends ship). I came within a few miles of it in Denmark. Was this called a Billings Kit I think?
I had great pleasure, up to a point, in the many hours of miniscule glueing and fettling. At that time in my life I was going through a divorce
and managing a classical music shop in the cultured depths of Suffolk. ( avoiding alimony). A therapy perhaps. But a damn fine ship as a result.
( I enclosed a £5 note and a written note for posterity ).
My conclusion is that one is enough. (thank you for the video though).

Your Baltic Trader model sounds much more interesting .I made some “waterline models” that were basically just having a free hand with shape and rig I just don’t how ever much I try have the model makers skill.
