Phil's Ship Models  

I have built ship models since a teenager.  It is a great way for me to study different plans.  You get something 3-D that you can handle and see from all directions.  It gives you a direct idea of how the parts go together.  You can also play with color schemes.

Here are some pictures of some of my models.  Click on thumbnail to expand.

  Weekender (Study Model)

If you want to make a model of the Weekender use this Acrobat file to print the plans and follow the included directions. If you have trouble seeing my PDF files.

  My latest: ALOHA - a display model. (Currently a work in progress)
