Des Plaines, Illinois
HMS Sultana has the distinction of being the smallest schooner to ever be entered into the Royal Navy’s lists, and had a remarkably brief career (1768-1773) serving mostly off the North American coast before being sold at auction. Richard scratchbuilt his 1/64 scale wooden ship model. Any paint he used was acrylic and applied with a brush and a mixture of masks and freehand.
