“It’s a 1902 seine fishing schooner heading to mackerel waters off New England to fill up for the Fulton Fish Market [in New York City],” Dan says about his 1/48 scale Benjamin M. Latham. He made a few modifications to the Model Shipways kit, including scale barrels on deck, netting sourced from a fabric store and stained tan, and hand-sewn sails. The ship and its boat were hand-painted with Model Shipways acrylics.
