I first saw models like this when I was about 6 years old , and always wanted one of my own. I'm now over 75 , and I have spent my whole life perfecting how to make models like these .

I grew up in awe of the ship model collection in the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow (now moved the Glasgow Museum of Transport). My favourite was HMS Vanguard - I managed to see the real thing anchored in the Gareloch before she was so sadly sent to the breaker's yard. These models are in the same brilliant class.

What a gorgeous display of ships at a museum I have always wanted to visit. The craftsmanship placed into these models and the ships themselves are of a bygone era. Cunard's RMS Mauretania is stunning in her 1930s cruising colours, as is Cunard's RMS Franconia and White Star's infamous Titanic. The Castle Line's Dunbottar Castle, Duchess of York and ferry ship Prince Edward Island models are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

Whenever I see models like these I will never give up building all kinds of models. They will never compare to these magnificent productions, except in my mind each time I finish one.

A very sensitive and grand film of wonderful models. A museum I did not know about but one which I feel I must visit before I depart this stage. Thanks for a perfect video for an old maritime Winnipeg aviator who wished he had stayed in the maritimes. Rmb

These gigantic ships fascinate me. We toured the Queen Mary in Long Beach and it was fantastic! I will never cease to be amazed how man can build something so large that floats and moves across the oceans.

This video makes me feel like I am there, priceless masterpieces, it does"nt get any better than this.

The RMS TITANIC was a perfect looking ship. Beautiful in her design.
