Celebrating magnificent model making!
The USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild and the USS Constitution Museum present the 33rd Annual Ship Model Show. Come celebrate the masters of model making at the USS Constitution Museum. With over 50 handcrafted models of all sizes, types and materials, you can explore the intricate art of model making as practiced today. Explore the show with a copy of our free family guide or join in the fun of a hands-on activity - either way, a visit to the Museum and the show is a great way for your family to spend the day! For special programming and activities, check the Museum's website.
The 2012 model show is partially supported by generous financial assistance from the Boston Marine Society.
The USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild
The USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild encourages the art of constructing model ships and supports research in nautical history through its workshops, educational activities, and exhibits. It is the largest ship model association on the East Coast with over 100 members. The Guild meets on the first Tuesday of every month and encourages those who are interested to attend their meeting or to visit the Guild’s website.
Meet a Modeler - a great way to learn more!
Members of the Model Guild will be on hand (hours to be determined) to answer questions about the models on display, share tips and techniques of the trade, and demonstrate carving techniques, all while working on models of their own. Come with questions and curiosity and meet a modeler – it’s a great way to learn more!
