My ship models (also with two photos from 1960s/1970s)

I'm creating a new thread to put here all my ships and other vessels. Also those from the distant years like 1960s and 1970s. I still have some photographs of my old paper models, today I'll show you only two but in the future maybe I'll find and post couple more. Other ships you can see here are those from the last 10 years.

Photo 1: taken in winter 1968/1969, me and the Italian cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli(from Maly Modelarz)

Photo 2: summer of 1970 or 1971, me and HMS Rodney, Raimondo Montecuccoli, Domeyko(all from Maly Modelarz)

I hope to update this thread in the future. Maybe I'll build a new vessel or just find some more old pictures. I had many other ships back in 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Either they didn't survive or they were given away. I may have some photographs of these vessels somewhere...

Impressive collection.
Sounds like you may have the bug to build again?

great collection, just wonder who is wearing a suit to build a model nowadays.... cheers

Thanks.

Positive_Rate, I'm still building paper models but mostly planes as I don't have much space for ships. Many years ago, in my old house in the forest, I had a lot of space + a special shed outside for them but then I moved to the apartment, to the city and the space for ship models was drastically reduced. Now, I usually choose smaller vessels, like the Canadian fishing cutter for example. They just take less space.

Olo, well, the times were different for sure. Sometimes I even used to go fishing in a suit...
