England Expects...

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

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

Looks great, truly a model to be proud of... and nicely displayed too

Quite a beauty. Honestly, I'd look for an aquarium to stick that model in, with some lighting. The dust will start to migrate towards it, and it will be difficult to keep clean. The case would also keep people from touching it. I don' know if you have Cats, but one destroyed a very big "Cutty Sark" model I had mounted on the Fireplace shelf. It looked like it went through the worst hurricane ever. A very sad day indeed.

Your ship is certainly grand!!!
