Royal Albert 100 gun, 1st Rate
This build is for a circa. 1700 period, 1st rate, 100 gun, Ship of the Line. This ship is of a "type", rather than an actual built ship. This is a chance to build a model without being tied to the "as it was built" syndrome, so you can add all those little bits and pieces you always wanted to add to a model. We are OPEN to new members.

H.M.S. Triton, 28 gun frigate (Cross Section)
The cross sectional version of HMS Triton is a wonderful opportunity to learn or develop new skills, and is suitable for both newcomer and seasoned modeler. This model will encompass the same sort of construction as the real vessel. This is also an ideal project to lead into the full hulled version.
