Ukrainian man building model ships in a war zone
A retired engineer living in a Ukrainian city under constant threat of bombing is making a replica model ship to be displayed in a Cornish museum.

Vitaliy Vribel is making a model of Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance after being commissioned by the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, in Charlestown, Cornwall.
He said: "We live with the understanding we can die at any moment.
"Missile strikes are carried out regularly.
"Air raid sirens wail day and night. We don't hide in a bomb shelter because there isn't one. We just go to the hall where there are no windows."
The commission came about when the museum's managing director saw a post on the social media network LinkedIn.
Mr Vribel's daughter, Nataliia, was appealing for somewhere for her father to safely store his models during the conflict.
The pair succeeded in finding a safe place for his collection.
But Mr Vribel, 64, is making the model for the museum in the loft of his fourth floor apartment in Dnipro, where he lives with his wife.
The former engineer said: "The desire to create accurate historical copies of ships requires careful study of the material, the historical features of the era and the specifics of the vessel.
"It takes a lot of time, but it is very interesting.
"The captain had to know everything about the ship, even down to the smallest detail.
"So, in the same way, the modeller must know everything about the ship they are building. The process is exciting."
Speaking about the conflict, he said: "There's a war going on now. I have never had an idea that I will have to live in the midst of a war. Yes, I've read books about war, I've seen films about it, but I've never imagined it would ever happen. |
