This model was build from the wonderful “Lady Isabella” kit from Vanguard Models, designed by Chris Watton. I chose to depict the Zulu “Fidelity” (BF1497), launched in 1904. Fid elity is documented in a beautifully-drawn set of plans preserved by the Royal Maritime Museum Greenwich.
This was my first model ship build. Many thanks to all of my new friends here at MSW, who stood by me during this most enjoyable journey. I’m grateful for your guidance, and to have been able to tap into your knowledge and experience.
