England Expects...

Quick update - beauty shots coming soon, had to do a couple of touch ups, and got something special for the case...

 

[Cybergrinder]

After the delay, here's what I'm doing for the case Thankfully most of the glass was saved from the old one, except one piece. To save on the expense I decided to go with a piece of hardboard (7mm). Now to just have a piece of boring wood would not do I went for this (HMS Prince in the background)


The board and text are from the first build as well, the paper is genuinely approx 30 years old, lovely natural aged look with no added effects

Great idea!

That is a great way to display such a model!

And the beauty shots

First the figure head, with my attempt to capture the Royal coat of arms


A view of the bow, Union Jack flying proudly


Moving down the deck



And my attempt to capture the famous signal

The Oars were white, it made them easier to find in the dark water. The ship looks fantastic!!
