A couple of old ones from my collection that I thought I'd put up. The WW1 British battleship HMS Iron Duke from Airfix in 1/600 scale. Obviously an ancient kit but it went together reasonably well. I didn't attempt to do anything particularly clever. I hollowed out some of the ships boats to make them... well... more boat shaped. And I think this was my first attempt with stretched sprue, so I didn't worry to much about historical accuracy.

The second, a far more recent kit from IBG, 1/700 scale. This one was my first attempt to do a seascape. Milput painted and I think modestly successful. I do remember trying to glue the photo etch did somewhat damage my calm but I got there in the end.
