The HMS Victory Special tall ship model is built from scratch by experienced master artisans and is not from any sort of kit. To create the subtle details and definitions of the deck and hull, the plank on frame method of construction is used, which requires hundreds of hours of pain-staking, detailed work.
The highest quality, rare woods (including Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, Jack wood, and Sycamore) used to construct our models are subjected to specific seasoning procedures to ensure that the model will withstand severe climate and never warp or split.
Ornaments and decorations on this model (which may include cannons, portholes, anchors, muskets, and other details) are sculpted of brass, chrome, and other metals. Sails are handmade of fine linen and rigging lines vary in weight, thickness and color
The detailed, hand-stitched sails of the model ship are constructed of fine linen. The detailed riggings and lining are painstakingly fastened by hand and also made of linen.
Extensive research is required to build each model according to scale, using various pictures, original plans, drawings, and digital imaging.
Each model ship is examined during various processes of manufacturing and shipment to ensure the highest quality and accuracy possible for your investment.
During the Battle of Trafalgar, the HMS Victory sailed directly into the midst of the French Armada and divided in two. Rudder destroyed, sails full of holes, and with an injured mast, the HMS Victory came straight on, cannons ablaze. As the HMS Victory lacerated the enemy’s line, she took great punishment, but her retribution was greater and the HMS Victory left destruction in its wake.
Suffering mortal wounds, Lord Nelson led the British to one of the greatest victories in nautical history.
The HMS Victory is the sole surviving 18th Century warship left on the face of the planet, and is revered as one of the most prominent and decorated of all warships. Honored and preserved over the years, she rests now at Portsmouth, England, a never-to-be-forgotten symbol of loyalty, courage, and devotion to duty.
