Ian Brennan spent five thousand hours to create a similar replica of the ship that helped defeat the French and Spanish fleet at Trafalgar in 1805.
The ship consists of 200 pieces of small wood rope, 104 weapons, 37 screens, and flags with slogans Nelson's famous "England expects every man to do his duty."
Brennan who is a sculptor from the British Royal Household, expect to complete these miniatures in 2005, as well as commemorate two centuries of fighting. But the wood from the bottom of the ship Victory is very hard, like stone carving. So that makes the job becomes increasingly longer.
"I think for cutting and pasting the same as other models, but finally I decided to do it from one part of it," he said as reported by Orange, on Wednesday (10/20/2010).
"I only have one chance, there will never be again another timber of Victory I can use again," he concluded.
