Model Expo - 1/4" square timbers for model scales of 1:24 to 1:32

Launching ways are used to support a vessel onshore and launch it by sliding down an inclined slipway, usually stern first. Displaying a model boat or ship on launching ways is an excellent approach and is most suitable for a model without sails. 

The Model Shipways launching ways are easily assembled and optionally may be attached to a display board (not included in the Launching Ways kit.) Using your additional materials, the launching ways display can be expanded as much as your imagination allows you to create a mini-diorama of boatyard activity.
