July-September 2021:

Ship models have long starred in Hollywood films. This 1955 movie poster pictures the Glencoe 1:420 model of the SS United States--but only a tramp steamer model appeared in the movie itself. 

See some of the HUGE 1:16 and 1:24 scale  ship models used in the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora!  Or spend a day or two (you'll need it!) at www.modelshipsinthecinema.com. 

Of course, now the movie modelers mostly spend their time creating digital models...
