That’s a beauty.
Great to see an iron-hulled sailship as a model. Beautiful!
You can see the future of the steam-liner hulls in her shape, especially her stern.
Is the model planked, then "covered" to look like iron?
I live in Philadelphia and we have the Moshulu here, another iron sailship with an impressive history.

Wow, Dave that’s lovely and an unusual subject too.
The hull was single planked and the I used a slurry of fine silica sand and white glue. After it dried I painted the hull with acrylics. I have a build log posted in scratch builds.
