Hi Rebecca, We use Chenhall's Nomenclature and were not able to find a good term to describe ship models. So we added the term "Model, Ship" to the subcategory "Documentary Artifact." In reality, some of our ship models were created as documentary artifacts, some as works of art, so it might be equally appropriate to categorize them as art. Either way, we use the term to describe both scratch-built scale models and models made from kits. When we've had to add our own new terms to Nomenclature I always make sure to add them both in the database authority list AND in the hard copy book. Hope this helps. Cristin J.

I did check those sites, but did not find what I was looking for. I think I need to explain this further. I am looking for the nomenclature for minature, but to scale models of ships like the "Mayflower" or the "Titanic". This items could fit on a shelf in your home, or on your desk. The ones I am cataloging are made without the benefit of a kit, therefore art probably listed as Communication Artifacts with a sub category of art. The revised nomenclature reference that I am using is quite old. The book lists ship in a bottle, but not one of equal scale outside a bottle.
