I built this model in 1995, using John Haynes plan and hull.Just wanted to show how it looks as a waterline, as I have not seen any at this scale.HGPEWC

Looks fantastic.  I am sure there is a story to tell about this build.  If so, please share it.

Hi Bob.I have always been fascinated by the Victorian era,as it the started the evolution of warships.Started out doing plastic models,but there was never any from the old steam days.So I taught myself to scratch build.All my models are donated to the local naval museum,so people can see the "old steam navy",and see how colourful and unique they were.I have built only one modern era ship.I was asked to help build an eight foot model of HMCS Calgary,that is on display at our city hall.

Don't knock yourself down, your Inflexible is beautiful and looks spot on, I'm currently building a 1/96 scale Majestic class pre-dreadnought, HMS Prince George, and I know the effort that goes in to building that era of warship. Looking forward to seeing some of your future projects and current ones :-))

Thank you.I built the Hannibal about 10 years ago,That sits next to the inflexible, in the naval museum.I cannot compress my photos,or I would send you some photos.If you are comfortable enough with sending me your e-mail, I could send you them.
