Those would be spectacular for commercial models! Scratch built ..... mind blown!

Lovely work indeed.  What scale are they?  Larger than 1:1200 at a guess.  Some rigging would be icing on the cake.

What scale are they and what are they made of?

Thank you paulr - They are about 1/1000,  the average model is about 100mm long, They are made out of paper, thin cardstock and plastic sprue...  :D

Sorry, did you say *scratch built*?! Bloody hell, they're good :)

Is that harbour from Cruel Seas btw?

Much appreciated TP!! Thank you  :)  The harbour is an Amera vacuum formed piece which I've pimped up a bit, the buildings are resized 1880's/90's French paper models. they work well and add to the overall antique ambience  ;D

Thank you Steve, I really enjoy doing these, they take a while to be sure, and I don't want to get onto the subject of French tumblehomes!!!!!!  ;D
