    I am passionate about art in all its forms and enjoy the creative freedom it offers. I love history, architecture, music, mythology, philosophy, reading factual material and writing poetry. I am very much a sportsman and enjoy football, boxing and partaking in most sports aswell as keeping in shape through exercise. I am also fascinated by the age of sail and its surrounding history. Period ships leave me in awe and I have a special interest in scale model making, my ultimate goal is to build plank on frame and have the ultimate admiration for the modellers who create these historically accurate models. Hms victory is of special interest to me and I am currently researching her construction particularly her appearance at the time of Trafalgar. I work as a self employed carpenter and love to work with wood and admire the skill, patience and creativity of the scale ship modeller.

  13. Beautiful build your work is of a class I can only call masterful. Do you clean ebony with acetone prior to gluing strakes to the frames?
