The “Rum” Line – Kevin Kenny’s Ship Modeling Journey

What do rum, a corporate boardroom, and a nine-year ship model build have in common?

For Kevin Kenny, it all started when he was an executive at Angostura in Trinidad. A throwaway comment in a meeting turned into a challenge — and that challenge turned into a passion for building museum-quality ship models.

In our latest SeaWatch Books podcast episode, Kevin shares:

• How that first “dare” launched his modeling career
• The unique challenges of building in the tropics (including termites!)
• Why he films his mistakes for YouTube — and what other modelers can learn from them
• The story behind his nine-year HMS Thorn build
• What’s next on his bench: HMS Ulysses
