Clydeside/Superior: Mid-grey with low funnels and funnel bands. I gave this 1980s model away to a friend.
Navis: green/grey, plastic masts, raised fore-funnel. This has been modified and promoted to Inflexible.
Navis 126N: Z21 paint and raised fore-funnel
Navis 126N: mid-grey, initially for an Inflexible 1914 but later with the fore-funnel cut down to replace the Superior as Invincible 1914
Navis 126N: Z21 paint and some gun turrets with light guns atop some turrets.
WTJ: with fore-funnel cut down (I now know there is a separate model with low fore funnel) but tall topmasts and mid-grey.
Navis 126N: repainted light grey for Jutland 1916 and cut down topmasts.
WTJ: same as above but I dislike the fixed turrets on the WTJ model when posed in dioramas, so this one is for mooring in a Scapa Flow 1916 diorama!
Scratch built: Invincible exploding at Jutland.
Scratch-built: Bow and stern of Invincible sticking out of the water.
The remaining eight are undergoing refits to give them wood effect decks and folded torpedo nets where applicable.

Eight variations! That’s impressive. I’ve done many myself over the years, but never that many of one specific model. Tell us more please. Previous Message
I only have 9 Sea Vees, considering that Sean lived about 20 miles from me, that is not a lot. The largest would be either Navis or Neptun andI came to do Navis first because that came before Neptun in the alphabet and I set up my Ship Cardfile to be in alphabetical order of ship's names. One and a half hours later, viewing the cards one at a time, I had the answer that I have 925 Navis ship models. I now know that I have more Neptun models than Navis models but I cannot be bothered to find out how many more. Like Peter the Navis figure includes my conversions and refits, but also different productions of Navis castings and factory paint finishes. The largest number of any variations on one named ship is 8. Previous Message

I've just checked my spreadsheet. Apple Numbers in case you're interested. My collection is pretty small at just over 100 but 33 of those are Seavee.

The cataloging discussion prompted me to look at my collection. I was somewhat surprised that the most models I had from any single manufacturer were Seavees, 38 in all. How about you?
