Trafalgar 1805 HMS Victory diorama

After a little more than 838 hours spread over 248 actual days I have finished my Trafalgar 1805 diorama. It took about a year and a half to make because I was interrupted by two commission ships to build and a move to a different house and a new workshop to build. Even though I consider it finished, I can see myself adding a figure or two to some of the decks. At present it has 105 figures. When I first started this ambitious project, I had a vision of what I wanted or hoped it would be like. I think I accomplished what I had in mind. I have added 55 new photos to my website (www.guzmanshipmodels.com) for those who wish to see it. I added photos of the upper gun deck, the quarter deck and some showing the overall appearance. At 1/32 scale, it is a very large and heavy diorama and one that is pleasing to my eye.

Using this forum is new to me and I haven’t figured out how to bring in some photos to this post, so I have two links to get to my website.
