She is a early ship ( 1637) before copper was used, she has a white painted hull below the waterline (a protective anti-fouling mixture containing calcium carbonate (lime) to protect the wooden hull from shipworms and marine rot.)- Bri62

Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
Thanks for all your kind comments, It's off to auction tomorrow not sure when the sale is but I'll keep you all informed, as for what it will sell for? as much as someone is willing to pay I guess. In my view it owes me nothing as I have had 2 years immense pleasure from building it.- Bri62
