HMS Pandora
This model took me 3 years. Copper plated the hull panel by panel. Even found a crew for her, then added an RC and took her to the lake.
She sailed well, but my enthusiasm to leave the gun ports open cost me dear. The water got in the hull and knocked out the RC, leaving her listing and drifting some way from shore.
Salvation came in the shape of a 10 year son of a friend, who strip to his underwear and swam out to rescue her!
Now she sits retired in a glass case.

Le gusta a petercbrown and Northumbrian
If you don't want to close your gunports, give her some flotation balloons below deck. Shame to have such a beautiful model as display only.
