The 1970 film, Tora! Tora! Tora! used large models of Japanese warships quite effectively. After the filming was done, the models were placed in storage, and slowly began to fall apart. They were rescued and restored by some dedicated modelers, and are now on display in the Armed Forces Museum in Largo, Florida, U.S.A.

The U-96 was a model sub, or one of several built in different sizes for the film. The main one was practically a full size replica, but still a model. I believe I'm right in saying that there is one of the models sitting outside a building somewhere in England, but I'm dammed if I can think of the name of the place.

Hi all, I am thinking that the original post was for "model' boats featured as models not the models used by film makers etc. to simulate real scenes.
The Philadelphia Story" has a superb model sailing boat sailed on a swimming pool. The re-make of the film was called "High Society" and the same scene had a really crap model boat in it.
One of my favourite films "Captains Courageous" with Spencer Tracy sees the captain whittling away at a very nice model of his schooner "We're here". If you are into Grand Banks fishing schooners (a whole fleet of them) look no further. The Disney re-make was pathetic!
And we must not miss out "The 39 Steps" opening sequence of a model paddle steamer, I think nicely featured in Model Boats magazine.
By the way I thought that Mike Mayhew in a TV series a while back about model making showed incredible patience dealing with the TV presenter.

"Captains Courageous" with Spencer Tracy
Hmmm, don't know that film...

If we include TV drama series there was an episode of Poirot where Hastings had a lovely pond yacht in a London Park pond.
Plus there have been lots of adaptations of the Winnie the Poo sticks idea (boats racing on the current flow in a stream). There was one in a gardening program this week and I am sure that I remember one in a Rosemary & Thyme episode.

Hi Martin Captains Courageous 1937 film a fair bit on You tube.

An episode of 'Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps' had some model boats in one scene, don't know which one though, but I imagine the modellers were involved with the filming.

Definitely tongue in cheek %) but hey these are model boats and they are playing Poo Sticks in "Glorious Gardens from Above - Essex". It isn't very often that TV makes any model boats look like fun.

Yup, I was driving the sailing ship for the days filming, and it was run into by a Robbe Wetbike belonging, I think to a member of Black Park Model Boat Club. They wanted to know if we could crash one model into the other. The sailing ship being built like a brick privvy was more than a match for the little German plastic thing!
Hank Azaria, playing the boyfriend, then performed a leap into the water, grabbing the model in question, holding it aloft and asking "WHOSE BOAT IS THIS?" repeatedly. The two children who are running the wetbike look all innocent while chucking the transmitter into the pond!
The grabbing of the model was shot in two takes, as the first time it was grabbed, the lid came off in his hand, leaving the rest of the model hanging by just one little connector..so broke by a movie star.
It was fortunate that the local club was in attendance, as the films runners had purchased a couple of RTR models locally for the filming, only to discover that A) they had no range to talk of, and B) the batteries went flat in ten minutes. One of the boats drifting off to the far side of the pond never to be seen again, while the chief runner was busy blaming all the other runners for the total disaster unfolding. lucky for them model boaters came to their aid, with a Fireboat and the Wetbike providing the other models seen in the scene.
The transmitter for the RTR that drifted off across the lake was the transmitter seen being lobbed into the pond by the two children, a fitting end for cheap RTR tat!
It rained all afternoon (and you cannot tell when watching the film), and the food was great, so all in all a great day out playing boats!

In Battlestar Galactica, Admiral William Adama is seen building an incredibly intricate model ship. During one scene, the actor proceeds to go off-script by smashing the model ship in a fit of rage. The only problem? The ship was an actual model ship on loan from a maritime museum. It was valued in the tens-of-thousands of dollars!

Quite valid, in the underwater shot's you can see the STRING they tow the sub' with , it's a standard shot for nearly every yank sub' film of that era. . . a bit like our MK2 (white) Jag going over a cliff in a car chase , in the gangster movies %%

From 'Mary, Mungo and Midge' TV Series about 1969. {-) Well, it is a model, a Star pond yacht I think.!

I'll stand to be corrected, but at 50" in length its a bit small to be used in movies, its usually 10ft as a minimum. Again, although the build quality is good, it would not stand up to being used as a movie prop.
This might help your search until someone else comes along with more info......

Clint Eastwood film "In the Line of Fire"
The bad guy played by John Malkovich wants to test the plastic gun he has made to shoot the president so he shoots a radio controlled boat with it. Think it was an old Nikko "Caroline"
What I'd like to see made into the film would be the story of the Danish resistance's attempt to sink the German light cruiser Nurenberg in Copehagen harbor in 1945 with a radio controlled boat carrying explosives.

I'm sorry if this film has been mentioned before.
I have just watched a film called 'The Key' with Trevor Howard and William Holden its about WWII captains of ocean going tugs who were sent out to rescue damaged ships and bring them home. It is one of the few films representing the dangers experienced by tug boat personnel. As well as good footage of ocean going tugs, the action sequences uses models.
The film comes from the 50s and is in black and white.
An interesting film seen on the Movies4Men channel on Freeview, its bound to be on again, and again and again.
-

I am sure this is a builders model. So far, I have been unable to identify the funnel 'house flag' or the vessel. Anyone?
Although the funnel base is of a different colour, the House flag and upper funnel and the superstructures, positions of lifeboats and bridge and upper flying bridge are an image of the SS Caledonian Monarch and Dominican Monarch, model plans by Harold J Underhill. Built for the Monarch Steamship Company, Glasgow.
The Caledonian Monarch was lost to enemy submarine action in WW2.
Jim.
-
There have been many films made using models of ships etc in the filming process to represent the action.
I believe this thread is to illustrate small ship models shown in the film but not used as 'props' in action shots.
The Key was a very good film. I remember the scene where the skipper orders a full helm, high speed turn (not usual in tug rescues I imagine!) and the resultant devastation below decks, that is, if I remember correctly.

More movie models..............
The top one from the TV series UFO, the episode titled Destruction and features some decent shots of a RN County Class Destroyer, I know these things so others don't have to :embarrassed:
-
Yet another, with Edmund Purdom working on his new Graupner 1647 edition of a Galleon - road-going version. In a scene from 'Sword of Freedom' 1957. {-)
-
Who can remember 'Man In a Suitcase', featuring Richard Bradford as 'McGill'?
That (presumably?) bone model would fetch tens of thousands now!
Ohhh, I can remember it very well.
One of my favourite TV shows at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk3WHOXzZE4

In Captain and Commander, a crew member makes a model of a new shaped French Galleon that has been harrying them, The model is mainly frame but the captain spends some time discussing it. (Can't find then film clip!)

'Time is My Enemy' 1954

Anne Baxter admires Walter Brown's futtock-shrouds in 'Mix Me a Person' (1962):

'Rhythm Serenade' (1943)

The 1/96 scale Missouri model that was in the Battleship film was built by me a while ago. The Museum people asked for a 1945 representative model of the Miss. taking the Jap surrender in Tokio Bay. After the War the Miss. topsides were altered so visitors [ I mil /year ] can see the ship as it was in '45. I also built them the 1908 first Miss. model also in the wardroom. I supply lots of US Companies and my large Carrier model Yorktown CV10 is in the Washington Naval Yard collection

Hi all, we seem to have a mix on the thread of models used in films as against models seen in films. I think it so nice to see a model ship or sailing boat in a film. Ism't there another thread on this forum on models seen in films?
I also look in the background of TV series like Flog It etc. Mainly yachts I suppose as they stand out more.

Roy

That Battle in the Sea of Japan film looks well worth watching.

I suppose it might be the Battle of the Japan sea ( or the battle of Tsushima...)...???
If so,...
Highlight scenes of the sea battle by NHK pictures

Errr wot's a Balite ?
Sorry about that but with only one working eye it's too easy to hit the wrong keys. Usually I notice but not on this occasion. Lack of binocular vision makes model making twice as hard as it used to be but I persevere with a little help from my friend :((

I noticed they don't have 'Ghost Ship' listed, a thoroughly forgettable movie but it sticks in my mind because the 'salvage tug' that finds the haunted liner is a Dumas Mr Darby. Funny that the one chance a movie has to use both models and full-size ships and have them 100 percent accurate... and it's a B-movie about ghosts.

Hi all, I was thinking this thread was about model boats/yachts seen as models in films.
Rather than models representing full size ships in films.

Not sure if this qualifies but has anyone seen the Dr. Hannah Fry series on TV, (now showing) The Secret Genius of modern life. Excellent by the way!
In the one about Microwave cookers there is a long visit to the Chantry model boat club with boats running and a radar set up that sees or does not see a submarine go under. on the screen.
