model ship display cabinet
Hi folks, a real labour of love this one. About 90 hours. Somebody donated a model ship to our yacht club so I was asked to make a case for it. Didn't look too hard until I checked the measurements. A whopping 1350 x 900 x 550 cabinet -plus the table. All solid jarrah and all morticed joints. Glass is acrylic. Finish is shellac and wax. Swan on top and badge below were carved on my homemade router copy carver using mdf templates from Bunnings. Ship is called the Swan but is actually the Bounty. The backdrop was taken from a photo off the internet and I had it blown up on canvas and mounted to an mdf backboard by a picture framer. Around $1000 for materials but nothing for me. Delivered it yesterday after a very slow 20kmh trip with it standing in my old 6x4 trailer trying to miss the bumps.
Hope you like it,
Lionel.
