Over on modelwarships.com there are some pictures of a fantastic scratch built HMS Vanguard. HMS Vanguard

The incredible thing about this, if scratch building a 1/200 scale warship isn't enough, is that it's made of WOOD.

I am constantly amazed at how talented some people are.

He even made the anchor chains out of wood, now that's impressive. Wonder how he did the railings, think with little sticks and thread.
