Wasn't sure what would be the best category to place this in. Maybe there could be one for maritime items?
Anyway, working my way through my father-in-laws' estate I found multiple copies in plastic of this schooner. He was a talented man who was involved in the original Apollo space missions building parts of the spaceuits. He custom made the gloves for most of the astronauts along with other custom fitted parts. A side hobby drawn from creating the molds for them was creating and molding items. Thought it would look really nice on a chest that's in the planning so I scanned it yesterday.
Hope somebody else can use it.
