This stunning wooden replica of HMS Victory is the result of 17 years of dedication and skill.

It is also a ship off the old block – for sculptor Ian Brennan has spent 5,000 hours carving it from a piece of timber from the real thing.

The model of Nelson’s flagship contains 200ft of intricate ‘rope’, 104 miniature guns, 37 little wind-filled sails, and flags spelling out Nelson’s stirring signal: ‘England expects every man to do his duty.’
The 1:66 scale ship is accurate right down to the 37 billowing sails and 200ft of rigging, giving a marvellous impression of the ship racing to Trafalgar

Excellent!  Thanks for sharing.  If I started something like that they would have to haul me off to the looney bin.

That is an incredible example of wood carving, and all the more so, because it's carved out of oak.
