Roger Pellett Posted January 17 Share #1 Posted January 17 My completely unscientific understanding of MSW members leads me to believe that a substantial majority have a compelling interest in modeling vessels of the Lord Nelson era Navies.😀 This is particularly true if one adds American War of 1812 ships to the mix. SO!! Here’s your chance! M.S. Rau an antique dealer in New Orleans is advertising in the Wall Street Journal a rediscovered portrait of Admiral Horatio Nelson as a young man. It is supposedly only one of two portraits of him in civilian attire. Just the thing to display over your recently completed HMS Victory. If you have the space to display a fully rigged Victory, this picture w I’ll fit in nicely. Width: 30-3/8”. Height: 39-3/4” Roger Canute, bruce d, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger, I think you've got a pretty good grasp of the demons that drive us. That portrait is quite a find and it raises hopes for even more good stuff to be found. mtaylor, thibaultron, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Pellett Posted January 17 Author Share #4 Posted January 17 Yeah, no price listed but I suspect that you guys could add a whole Nelsonian fleet of kits for what they’re asking. Canute, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss frolick Posted January 17 Share #5 Posted January 17 Yet most of the kits and the POF plans are for the American Revolution, or earlier ... 🤔 Can you imagine if Harold Hahn had drawn POF plans for the President, Essex or Hornet, instead? mtaylor, Canute and Roger Pellett 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
