blurb said:

A totally unique scale model of the First Rate ship of the Line; Lord Nelson’s Flagship HMS Victory; created by sculptor and woodcarver Ian G Brennan. The carving has taken over 5000 hours of work and although it may look rather fragile, being made entirely from centuries old English oak it is exceptionally strong.

This sculpture of HMS victory has been carved entirely from original centuries old oak beams removed from HMS Victory’s lower gun deck during the restoration program in 1991. The carved hull of the Victory and the 'sea' the warship is sailing in is carved from deep within one of these original old Victory oak beams.

Incredible. Pity the pics aren't clickable.

I'll add Olivier Bello to the pot: http://www.arsenal-modelist.com/index.php?page=shi...
