My only decent shot of the day. The rest were awful

Ah well, it's better than mine. Is that one of those PoW ships? I'm sure Woody will like it. Maybe he'll visit the Science Museum himself on his next visit.
It was a wonderful day out & I enjoyed it immensely. I think you already know that.

Looks like a frigate to me. With the deck cut away to show construction details.
Very nice.

It's a 60 Gun 4th Rate ship of the Line from the 1760 section.

Ah. I see. It's difficult to tell how many guns on a model without the guns as I don't believe carronades were counted.
It's still a very nice model.

Neither were the quarter deck guns (usually 9Lb'rs) and I am unsure if the bow and stern chasers were included. As the quarter deck gus had gun ports it is almost impossible to accurately tell the rate of the ship by counting gun ports alone...

Nothings ever easy is it. Got any more pictures of other models there? I don't care how bad.
