Scale: 1:32. Stern models showing the port side of HMS Castor (1832) and the starboard side of the Danish ship Perlin (captured 1807) made entirely of wood with metal fittings. The model although secured by three wooden planks is actually two half sectional models, the port side represents the new proposed round stern for HMS Castor and is painted a brick red from the base to just above the waterline with the upperworks in black apart from a thick horizontal section along the gundeck which is finished in a creamy white colour. The gunports are painted red internally on the gundeck and a bottle green on the upper deck. The stern gallery consists of four sections of curved and flat glazed windows together with vertical mouldings and a smaller carved decoration picked out in white and gold. The forward edge of the quarter edge is an ornately carved full length female figure in flowing robes with a feather headdress, all of which is painted gold and varnished. Internally the model is finished with two decks made from single sheets of wood, scored with individual planks and stained and varnished. Below decks are a series of metal hanging knees supporting deck beams together with a number of meal rings for rigging hammocks. The solid bulwarks are painted a dark green and meet the deck with a rounded timber section of spirketting and a square section of gunwale capping, both of which are painted black. The bulwark has been pierced to take three guns. The starboard side represents Perlin, a Danish ship and illustrates the old fashioned square stern with the more traditional quarter gallery complete with three glazed windows and three across the stern. The hull is painted a creamy white from the base to just above the waterline, with the upperworks painted black apart from a thick horizontal band along the gundeck which is finished in a creamy white colour. It is pierced for two guns, the inside of the gunport is painted red on the gundeck and dark green on the upper deck gunport. There is also a gunport projecting through the stern, again finished in a dark green which carries on round thorugh the inside face of the bulwarks. Like the port side it is fitted with two layers of deck consisting of single sheets of wood, scored with individual planks, stained and varnished.
