I used Napiers Bones! Well a calculator actually. It's 1/32 scale.🤣
If it don't fit, use a hammer to make it fit....

Fantastic! What a project to be given the privilege to work on. What scale is she, certainly larger thana 1/4"-1'. Perhaps 1/32?

Evening all. Although retired, I am a volunteer at Fort Perch Rock, a Napoleonic fort sitting on the Mersey Estuary at New Brighton. One of the exibits is a 24ft long model of HMS Prince of Wales. It is in need of some tlc to bring it back to a suitable condition for display once more. A bit of a task, apart from quite a few minor repairs it is needs a damned good clean. I have attached some photos to illustrate the size of the task. If anyone lives near Wirral and is willing to help I will be working on the task on Tuesdays, all assistance will be greatfully recieved.
