I just completed "Magenta" from about 1870. Flagship of the French Mediterranean Squadron. She exploded at Toulon while carrying antiquities from Carthage. Some of these ended up in the Louvre. This model is a miniature, scratch built, and I made the sails (see my posting on making styrene sails). This was a gift to a loved one. The presentation box is temporary, but shows Malta in the background surrounded by storm clouds. The model is OAL one foot, and is about 1:320
