Hello everyone. After some months of being absent on forum , I want to reveal the answer.
What I will show you, it is not my creation, but I worked a lot on it.

Couple months ago I found on internet a wood ship for sale. Seeing the pictures I realized how much work it will be. But I liked the shape of the ship, the size( 1,10 metres) and the quality of the wood.

Ian still working on it but I want to show you some pictures. I hope to enjoy the story of the HMS Victory restoration.... In pictures!View attachment 84515

Thanks to all. I don't deserve it. Like I said, the big job was done by somebody else, God knows who. All I done was to save the ship from scrap ..... Well I always liked to play with my camera so, for next pictures you will need the red-blue 3d glasses.... In this way, my ship is closer to you...View attachment 84687

That is just a great bit of restoration Catalin, superb work. Adding great builds as even restoration-on this scale-requires skill.
