HMS Victory that is. Carved from a block of wood.

Beautiful. What dedication.

[Renauda]

Magnificent craftsmanship. A masterpiece.

I would hope it ends up in the Royal Navy Museum or Imperial War Museum rather than locked away in a private collection in some eccentric multi millionaire’s curio display.

Would love to see that up close.

Imagine how good the next one will be if he has to make another. Lots of practice.
