This is a model of HMS Victory's figurehead. It is modeled based on plans in Arthur Bugler's "HMS Victory - Building restauration and repair" and by pictures of the real thing.
The figurehead consists of 6 parts which are fixed on a sprue. Plase be careful when cutting off and sanding away the remaining material.
This is a special version of the figurehead, which is made for a 1/84 kit where the "knee of the head" (or the "stem" as it is often referred to in model plans) is 6mm thick. At 1/84 the width would really be about 3.3 mm, so I had to make compromises to allow that width.
The material of this part is "
Smoothest Fine Detail Plastic" to ensure the hights quality. Painting with acrylic paints is recommended. For further handling instructions of the material please see here:
