All your works you show are amazing!
By the way, if you could say, please, the length and the height of this model. Thanks!
-
Thank you.
Yes the model third rates are about 3.5 inches in length and from the waterline to the top of the main mast.

Amazing! And you have done an excellent job down to the last detail! I am admiring all the series of your works!
Keep them coming! Cheers!
