Britain’s last model ship maker says he'll ‘drop dead in his workshop’ rather than give up his dying craft.
Philip Reed, 76, has spent more than 50 years painstakingly recreating maritime legends from the 1600s to WWII - including the Cutty Sark, USS Constitution and HMS Hood.
While each model sells for thousands of pounds, they can take more than a year to complete because he researches every detail using original ship plans and drawings before building them entirely from scratch using wood, paper and wire.
Working from a small workshop in Cornwall, dad-of-two Philip walked away from his job as an art teacher to pursue his passion full time in the 1980s - taking a drop in income to follow his passion, despite the high value of the models.
