some years ago a nelson engineer, Pat Win went to Holland to oversee the building of a new ship, while there he came across the plans of the German ship ELSE known as "Prize", in about 2000 he approached me to see if I would make a model of the ship using the plans and paintings supplied , this I did and I presented it to the Nelson Talisman sea cadets who still have it to my knowledge. the ship is built with the hidden guns up with gun crew and the false cabins dropped down.
I can send photos of the ship if needed.
I thought the Takapuna school may like a photo
