Model Ship

The Model Ship is one of seven Larceny Targets which can be stolen from locations after joining the Thieves Guild. After stealing the ship, Delvin Mallory buys it for up to 800 septims (leveled).

Location
It can be found in the Snow Veil Catacombs, the first level within the Snow Veil Sanctum, in a room with a wooden staircase and a stone staircase. Take the wooden stairs and follow the tunnel around.

Picking up the model will cause a trap to trigger - the three hanging urns will fall and explode, setting fire to the oil on the floor. Either retrieve the model quickly, or shatter them with an arrow first. Watch out when doing this though cause the explosion of the urns and the exploding of the oil might cause the model ship to be blown away, possibly making it hard to find. The explosion may cause it to land on top of, or on the sides of the coffin behind it, also watch if you are an archer you don't want the draugr behind the ship to knock it anywhere with its thu'um. One other way is to grab the ship then whirlwind sprint away.

Quests

 * Larceny Targets

Bugs

 * If picked up on a later walkthrough of Snow Veil Sanctum (after having been blown away via the pots and subsequently located) it can sometimes not activate the quest to be sold to Delvin Mallory.
 * If picked up, with other larceny targets in one's inventory, it may glitch and think you've already given Delvin Mallory the items, thus finishing the quest. You will not, however, receive any gold and the items will not show up in the guild. To avoid this, make sure you have no other targets in your inventory when you take it.
 * Even if the player manages to replace the ship with another item, the trap will still trigger when the ship is picked up.
