* 30" long x 9 " Wide x 23" High (1:135 scale)
* Compared to our HMS Victory 30" regular", this model has the copper plated hull.
* Real authentically aged copper plated hull, like the actual HMS Victory (done to prevent the toredo worm from destroying the hull)
* Includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by HMS Founder and Master Builder Richard Norris, as only 50 will ever be made.
* Amazing details (cannonball racks between the cannons, planked deck where you can see the nail holes, oars in the lifeboats, lantern of the main mast)
* Meticulously painted to the actual HMS Victory as she was at the Battle of Trafalgar
* 18 masterfully stitched, thick canvass sails that hold their shape and do not wrinkle
* Turned brass cannons
* Advanced rigging techniques over 100 blocks/deadeyes
* Perfectly taught rigging of various colors and thickness to increase authenticity
* Authentic lifeboats - not flat bottomed
* Visible lower deck below the life boats where you can see the full cannons and cannonballs lined up!
* Requires hundreds of hours to build from scratch (not from a model kit) by our master artisans.
* Built with rare, high quality woods such as oak, maple, cherry and white pine.
* The model rests perfectly on a large, wood base between four arched metal dolphins.
* To build this ship, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings, copies of original plans and photos of the actual ship.
HMS Victory Model Ship Notes:
HMS Victory is still in commission as the flagship of the admiral for the time being acting as Second Sea Lord in his role as Commander in Chief of the Royal Navy's Home Command (CINCNAVHOME). She is the oldest commissioned warship in the world, although the USS Constitution, launched 30 years later, is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. Victory attracts around 350,000 visitors per year in her role as a museum ship.
The Victory's foretopsail was severely damaged during the battle of Trafalgar, perforated by upwards of 90 cannonballs and other projectiles. It was replaced after the battle but was preserved, and eventually came to be displayed in the Royal Naval Museum. The sail is laid out across a large chamber, illuminated by alternating lowlight projectors.
The name is also used to refer to the westernmost entrance (Victory Gate) to the Royal Navy's facility in Portsmouth, HMS Nelson.
The current commanding officer is Lt. Cdr. John Scivier
The most senior Trafalgar descendant alive and HON Commanding officer is James Hardy.
