David,

I don't know if you know this. but the Light Ship "AMBROSE". is now part of the small fleet of ships. that are part of the South Street Seaport Museum in New York City!

Hi David,

Great job on the Model, The Light Ship"AMBROSE" is a good memory for me!
I still remember having to go up her mast and change her lights.
She uses custom light bulbs rated at 150 Volts can't remember the amps though!

Thanks, for sharing the Picture just showed it to the wife.
She liked your model as well!

Ed.👍👍👍

Three across and 8 down.

Lightship

You would not think that it is made from card well done

high figtree, does this bring back any memories, made this from card from free download a few years ago. I like all the old light ships they have a lot of detail.

Great looking Light Ship, 30 yrs ago I worked on the lightship Ambrose off the coast of New York City!

few more photos. also i have put a led flashing light in as well on 3 little earing aide batterys

Looks an excellent job and detail is amazing especially as it was not built from a plastic kit.

Id like to see more models like this as they are ideal for small ponds.

Well done David

regards Boaty

hi, I built this from scratch, drew my own plans from pictures I had so not exactly to scale it is about 14 inches long and sails well in my small pond. you can get the revel lightship on ebay some times but are getting rare now.
