The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre of the National Maritime Museum in Kidbrooke, Southeast London is running a ‘Delve Deeper Tour on Ship Models’ during the evening of 17th November from 7.00pm to 8.30pm. The tour costs £10.00 for members and £20.00 for non-members.
According to their website:
Join Simon Stephens, Curator of the Ship Model and Boat Collections as he delves into the collection to showcase some of his favourite ship models currently stored at our collection centre in Kidbrooke. See a wide range of models from Navy Board models through to 20th century models. After a visit to the store with Simon, we will then go to our conservation studio, where Object Conservation Manager Karen Jensen will tell us the processes and techniques she uses to care for the world’s largest ship model collection.
I hope to go on the tour, and I will write a blog post about it if I do.

Am I alone in thinking they are the perfect scale for wargame toys?

DeleteThe ones in the photo certainly are, but some of the models in the collection are huge!
All the best,
