It was a syndicated story, so these details where extracted from the version published in TheNews, Portsmouth, UK, under the byline of Tom Morton. Michael Byard, of Abingdon, Oxfordshire has been building a 1:48 scale model of HMS Victory, which he began in 1969 when he was working in Australia. Eighteen months after starting, life got in the way, and Mr Byard had to pack it away until he retired six years ago. Altogther he estimates that he has spent 600 hours working on it, and is nearly finished. Mrs Anne Byard must be very forgiving! The newspaper story was prompted because Michael Byard is looking for help from someone who can help him with producing a 3D printed copy of the sternworks. He has produced one by hand, but is unhappy with it. Your editor attempted, unsuccessfully, to trace Mr Byard, because of a contact with a similar model-maker who may be just such a person to help. If any readers know Mr Byard, please get in touch. (Details of the other model-maker will be featured in the autumn edition of The Kedge Anchor.)
