ROYAL SOVEREIGN 1637

 

I built this model of the Royal Sovereign from a plastic model kit my father bought me when I was in grade 7.

 

I clearly remember the hours it took to paint the gold guilding on the model and setting up the rigging properly. It is the only remaining plastic model kit remaining from the hundreds I built in my childhood.

 

It has been through many house moves and I am pleased that I made the effort to make sure it remained safe and survived the many moves over the years.

 

An interesting arcticle on Wiipedia recounts the history of the Royal Sovereign :
