Martinnfb Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Pure pleasure, this is how the modelling started for me. My dad use to build ships, the old school style, drawings and bench. 5

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 18, 2020 Author Administrators Posted April 18, 2020 The Speedy was the ship that Cochrane earned his wings. Captured a Spanish frigate with Speedy. His bio reads like a novel. In fact, his exploits have been fictionalized several times. The Horatio Hornblower novels and of course the Captain Aubrey and Dr. Maturin novels, one of which was made into a movie “Master and Commander”. HMS Speedy was the real ship that became HMS Surprise, etc. Cochrane was a serious badass who tore up the French and Spanish. 6 1

I have the kit, a full Pontus set, some Shapeways stuff, and,... no room on my bench. 8
