The photo above shows the latest update for a ship model I started in July, 2003. It is shown in progress, on display at Southdale Mall last April..
When it is done all 14 sails will be attached and rigged. There are more than 700 gold-leafed ornaments.
The display case features a very detailed wooden map of the British Isles with a sea serpent, a vignette of Britannia, a scale, a compass rose and an elaborate legend including famous mapmakers Gerard Mercator and Willeam Blaeu. The four columns are made of separately inlaid Mahogany bricks and all have doors, catwalks and secret passages. The rear panel has hidden strips of lights and five mirrors reflecting inside. The roof (shown partially completed) also has hidden light strips.
The overall size is 70" wide, 60" tall and 27" deep.
