Royal Sovriegn

hi all i managed to snap up this rare Airfix kit on ebay (personally i think its the best kit they ever made) in 1664 it cost the unheard of cost of 67000 pounds, charles the first introduced the ships tax to pay for it (probably one of the most hated kings in british history because of it) she served with honours but was burnt to the ground when in for repairs by a candle (noone knows if it was deleberate or not) you could not afford to build this ship now, apart from the gold we couldn't even afford the carvers it would need for all the intricate work. she was the most heavily armed ship of her time Charles insisted he wanted 100 guns and he got it. I thought this kit also deserved the gold leaf treatment. anyway here it is
 





i got this far and thought i could light this up so i cut the windows out
