The MOST Challenging (and Rewarding) Ship Model I’ve Ever Built | Amati Robert E. Lee 1:150

I spent over 800 hours building the legendary Robert E. Lee steamboat model from Amati, one of the most famous riverboats in American history.

In this video, I take you through the full build journey, the challenges, and the small details that pushed my skills to the limit. Along the way, we also dive into the incredible story behind the real ship, from its luxury and speed… to the legendary 1870 race that earned it the title “Monarch of the Mississippi.”

This is more than just a model build — it’s history brought back to life.
