Handbuilt Ships

In 2017 we were pleased to send this unique hand carved wooden model, of HMS Ocean, off to a client in the USA. Despite being in a sturdy packing case, what must have been excessively poor handling caused the model to come loose and a lot of damage to the upper works, hand rails and aerials ensued. The hull and super structure is largely untouched and the basis of a very fine model remains and could provide a great reward for someone prepared to put in the restoration work.
