Master ship modeler Toni scratchbuilt this 1/48 scale cross section of HMS Echo, a sixth rate ship-rigged sloop built in 1781, in the Admiralty style with exposed framing on the port side. The framing wood is castelo, with holly used for the decks and lower hull. The ship is coppered with foil embossed to simulate the plating and nail pattern.
