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

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!)

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 wonder if it is available anywhere?

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

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.
