These ships include a few huge 1/96 classics and some extremely rare American Civil War Ships. The 1/96 USS Constitution, With a length of over 90 cm and more than 1,300 components,  took an eye watering 7 months, the 1/96 HMS Victory  took even longer. All of these ships are currently on display without the diorama. Each photoshoot uses the same or altered “diorama kit” comprising ocean, backdrop and  sometimes, a frame. Whilst there are some revell kits, most of my ships are old Heller Kits that were made in France
