Scale: 1:24. A model of the stern of HMS Queen (1839) made almost entirely in wood with some metal fittings. The hull is painted copper below the waterline to indicate sheathing whilst above the bulwarks are black with the three main gun decks highlighted with a horizontal white stripe. The inside face of the gun ports have been painted bright red with the interior of the hull between decks painted a creamy brown and a dark bottle green on the poop deck. The quarter galleries include a number of glazed windows as well as false windows, some of which have omitted or are missing together with two layers of stern galleries complete with metal balustrades. There is carved decoration above the taffrail on the stern consisting of the Royal coat of arms, a pair of garter stars on the lower portion of the quarter galleries together with the name 'Queen' painted on a cartouche on the lower transom. The rudder is complete with its metal fittings such as gudgeons and pintles, with the upper portion of the rudder stock missing.
