Hi
I thought I'd post this website that I stumbled across, some very nice work here! Not sure about the fogurehead of S.T., I've seen in portrayed as a lion and described as the "holy trinity" in contemporary accounts. Whatever, it's still great work imho..

It is indeed an awesome display of modelling but the actual scene is totally wrong if memory serves. For example, by the time the ships got that close to each other they would have be damaged. Bucentaure was severely damaged after being raked in the stern in succession by HMS Victory, Temeraire, Conqueror, Neptune and Leviathan and pretty much out of action...

Anyway, awesome modelling indeed.

thanks
