Scale: 1:96. A highly unusual subject for the talented modelmaker, Norman Ough, though it is entirely up to his usual high standards. The accompanying plaque tells us that it was “Made from an Admiralty drawing and from the sketch of sails and rigging in the 1932 manual of seamanship. The model was made plank by plank over wooden moulds. The planks being cut from [illegible]. When the hull was completed the mould was withdrawn and the ribs put in. A. Ough maker Oct 1933". Depicted with the sails set made of tissue and sweeps extended, as thin as wires but made from wood, it still retains Ough’s own little handmade display case.
