Found these at my late mother's house after she passed. When she dressed up, mom used to smoke cigarettes that matched the colors of the clothes she wore.

LOL!!!! Now THAT'S attention to detail!

I used to occasionally buy pipe tobacco from them. I remember calling them once and was greeted with, "Hello, Nat Shoiman. Can I help you?"

Mom was fanatical about appearance. She worked with fashion designers Bob Mackie and Donna Karan, so the coordinated ciggs were par for the course.

Visited the USS North Carolina yesterday, a storied battleship.
It was mostly used for shore bombardments but did sink one ship. And it participated in many Pacific Ocean engagements.

Beautiful detail work. What scale?

Here's an instrument panel I scratch built for an R/C Jet Ranger I built a while back...

Those are really cool!
this is 1/12th.
A few more, just because it's fun to look at...
99% of the "scratch" stuff is made of found objects, for example; the needles in the gauges are tiny trimmed watch hands. the gauge housings are aluminum tube. brackets are various found objects repurposed.
the springs are hand wound wire.
The switches are made out of flattened aluminum wire.
all the colored wiring is various gauge found wire.
The A&N fittings come in bare aluminum I colored with a sharpie pen and the braided lines are ordered, but made to size.
The switches and buttons are hand made too, the red kill button is actually a piece of thin spaghetti painted red!

The real Wolf in a museum for inspiration.
Still a lot more detail to copy, as you can see.

Beautiful work!

I've always enjoyed scale modeling, whether static or flying.

Here's a couple more from the Jet Ranger:

For some scale:
