Model of a ship's galley, anonymous, ca. 1799 - ca. 1820

wood, brass and tin-plated copper, h 37,7cm × w 48,8cm × d 37,2cm

The food was prepared in the ship's galley. This model represents a galley as it looked like in the French navy from 1799. On one side was cooked for the officers, on the other side for the other crew. The ideal of equality for all citizens, which brought the French Revolution of 1789, clearly did not reach the French war fleet.

Another Submarine!

Ok so whilst we are waiting for the decals to dry on the Seawolf I thought I might as well break out another 1:700 sub, this time in the shape of the Royal Navy's HMS Astute by Hobby Boss!

Here's the sprue and box shots, as you can see there's not much to this one either although the part count is slightly higher than the Seawolf at least. I have to admit although I don't have any past interest in Sub's the models have made me look at them; I always like to do a little research on the subjects I model and they have kindled a maritime interest in me I must confess.

I can see more of similar subject matters adding themselves to my ever growing stash at this rate.

A contemporary Navy Board model of the ‘Boyne’ (1692), an 80-gun two-decker ship of the line, built in the Navy Board style. The model is decked and partially planked and is complete with a number of fittings. A scroll at the break of the poop gives the ship’s name and date, the name of the builder, Harding, and place of building: ‘YE BOYNE Bt [built] BY MR HARDING DEP [Deptford] SA’. The measurements also agree with the actual ship. This is a particularly fine example of 17th century modelmaking, illustrating the design and ornate decoration of the ships of this period. The model is thought to be unique in that it bears its name in the scroll carved at the break of the poop deck. The richly carved stern decoration is complete with the original and almost circular stern lanterns, while the intertwined monograms of William and Mary appear on the quarter galleries. The ‘Boyne’ was one of the first of a large class of 80-gun two-deckers built between 1692 and 1695. The vessel took part in the battle of Velez Malaga leading to the capture of Gibraltar in 1704, before being rebuilt in 1708 as a three-decker. Date made circa 1692
