Of all my projects, this was the most ambitious. Mainly because of scale and subject matter. I chose to endeavor PRINCE because of the elaborate carvings around her gallery windows. Over the years I noticed many models: some, very exquisite of this ship. As a result, I decided to produce a large decorative piece as a showcase for a restuarant...something that was totally different from the mainstream traditional modelmaking. As a result, this 1:24 scale cutaway was formed which began a new genre in my maritime collection. Even as a work-in-progress, those who visited my studio were in awe at the detail of this work. One of the carved figures, alone, was approximately three inches in height around the windows. Gun deck cutaways is a unusual form of modelling not easily identified with traditional shipmodels... and very much in line with nautical art and the maritime. It's a unique artform not really pursued by most in these contemporary times, which is why I decided to make these a one-of-a- kind fine art piece. It becomes a science to know the structure of a ship by its configurations and then converting it into an artform. The result (based on subject matter), becomes a work that captures the imagination of the viewer. This work took approximately four months to complete.

"Grand Trunk Pacific S.S. "Prince George," British Columbia Coast Service" The Valentine & Sons' Publishing Co., Ltd. Montreal and Toronto. Printed in Great Britain. The Grand Trunk Steamship Prince George, and her sister ship the SS Prince Rupert, served the coast of British Columbia and Alaska. Originally these vessels served regular runs from Seattle to Victoria, Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Stewart, Alaska. Seattle and Victoria were dropped from the route after a few years and Skagway, Alaska, was added. The Prince George served briefly as a Royal Canadian Navy hospital ship in 1914. From 1925, ownership of both Princes was transferred along with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway system to the Government of Canada to be operated as part of the Canadian National Railway. In 1910 Prince Rupert was beginning to develop into a city. Both the Prince ships were built in 1909. The Prince George was completed three months later. By 1910 both ships began service on the coast of British Columbia. In 1945 the Prince George was lost after it caught fire and destroyed in Ketchikan, Alaska. Her sister ship survived and stayed in service till her retirement in 1956. After the loss of the Prince George, CN put a contract for a second (new) Prince George. This ship was launched October 6, 1947, and placed in service on the Alaska route in June 1948.

Victorian Officer's Full-Dress Uniform. I took these for M.C. Tsen to send to Prince Michael of Kent, also of the 11th Hussars (now combined with the 10th Hussars to form the Royal Hussars) in hopes he might be interested in visiting & viewing the collection. This is what I do for a living, along with being a librarian.
