A very old model  some 140 cm long, solid wooden hull which not very recently was dug out and motorized .A plywood deck 
with enlarged funnel and portholes for cooling ruined the scale. Handling also took its toll and most of the rigging was  damaged or left unfinished .All fitting were originally silver plated but most of it had been shed away apart from missing parts and railings .

 As a Restoration project this involved removing all motorization, complete new deck finely  scored to scale with formers underneath  to restore the humpback shape ,complete new superstructure in solid mahogany ,Silver plating all metal parts, new railing and rigging . The original funnel had been kept safe and was restored  the model to its former glory.
