HMS Victory

[cdwheatley]

Not strictly a card model in the conventional sense, but I got this for Christmas and thought you might like to see it:-















A fairly simple kit really, but it builds into quite an impressive model I think. HMS Victory is something of a special ship to me, not just because I'm a patriotic Englishman, but also because the real thing is just 5 miles or so away from me at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard .

Wonderful.

I like it! Was this a punch-out kit? It does indeed build into an impressive model. Thank you for sharing it.

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it .

Yes this was one of those punch out kits. I was surprised how good it looked when I'd finished it actually, and it's now proudly on display in my living room.
