  1. Victory Cross-section by Delf - Corel 1:96

    Started a few years ago to give me a break from other projects. Decided not to rig - the model felt out of proportion as it only shows four shrouds on the mainmast. I treated this as a decorative object rather than an accurate model - the photos show the box I built on an old picture frame to display the cross section.

  2. Royal Yacht Caroline by Delf - Panart 1:48

    Finally completed after several years. Started with the standard kit but bashed significantly, especially after discovering MSW.
     
    Made and served all the rope using Syren's rope rocket and serving machine, made most of the blocks and many of the deck fittings from old boxwood rulers, and turned all the masts and yards from castello.
     
    I tried the cased model in several locations around the house, eventually going for a minimalist look using a simple table made from a single sheet of bent glass.

  3. HMS Speedy

    This was my first kit from Vanguard Models - 18 months of great enjoyment. Many kits require extensive 'bashing' to make up for historical inaccuracy, poor quality material and out of scale components. This is not the case with this model. Chris Watton has designed well-researched kit that build up into an excellent model straight from the box. For example, the pearwood blocks supplied with the kit compare favourably with most after-market offerings. My additions, such as the boxwood deck, were simply intended to enhance  an already excellent model. I'm now building the Duchess of Kingston from Vanguard and have HMS Sphinx on order.
