Post by Alaric Bond on Wed 23 Dec 2009, 11:22

Found this on the UK Ebay; surely an excellent Christmas present?

Amazing work, wonderful detail, and way out of my price range! Laughing

I am currently struggling to build HMS Sultana, but am all thumbs and rather clumsy with it.

I have seen detailed, historically accurate models and I have seen "pond sailers," but this is the first I have seen that tries to be both. I don't think I'd be very comfortable putting such a gem in the water. Maybe if I could afford to spend $4,000 for a toy it wouldn't be a problem...
