Scale: Unknown. A miniature waterline model of the Bibby Line troopship Devonshire (1938) made entirely in wood with metal fittings and painted in realistic colours.

The hull is painted light red at the waterline, white above with a dark blue stripe running its entire length, and white bulwarks. Features include anchors stowed at the port and starboard bows; intermittent portholes on four decks; foremast and mainmast; two derricks forward; two promenade decks, one of which extends to the stern; a total of twenty lifeboats stowed on davits in three groups; and a single funnel, painted ochre.
