Fabulous work Martyn, a stunning model and as has been said already, it is most definitely of museum quality - well done that man, take a bow!!
I particularly like the tone of the gold paint that you have used on the ornamentation? It looks suitably antique and is in my opinion nothing short of perfect - I love it!!

A fantastic job Martyn, perfect workmanship from keel to rigging, as the others have said you've got every right to be proud of her! Are you going to encase her? I still haven't done one for my first ship the Grimsby and she needs a refit (sorry, darned good dusting) every twelve months!  The Vic will definately be getting one! Well done again!
