Ship building is one of the hardest modelling projects to do IMO, Ive had to remake a model schooner twice after accidents by dropping the thing, each time the masts broke plus the rigging, the brass rail pieces and rudder, its in the loft now and thats where it will stay until I can find room for it, it stands at 3. 1/2 feet tall and 30 inches long, the ones your dad made are excellent
