Model Ships
Many painstaking hours were spent by Joe Montaperto, 9 Rutene Road, when building this model ship. Named "Camelot" the ship is perfect in every detail, right down to swimming pool and lifeboats. Every part was handmade.
Joe Montaperto and the "Camelot".
Some of the intricate detail can be seen in this picture of the stern of the ship.
Among other model ships made by Joe is this fishing vessel, the Pilot Star No.24.
Another feature of the "Camelot" is the myriads of lights on the decks and masts (navigational) and below decks in the cabins. When the lights are on at night the model looks just like the real thing.
