Scale model of the HMS Polyphemus (1881), the Royal Navy’s unique "cigar-shaped" torpedo ram. Famous for its turtle-back hull and aggressive ram bow, this vessel is widely cited as the inspiration for the fictional HMS Thunder Child.
Manufactured using high-quality materials. This 12-inch model captures the distinct industrial aesthetic of the Victorian ironclad era, featuring detailed deck fittings, conning towers, and the vessel's signature low-profile silhouette.
The flat-bottomed hull ensures stability on any flat surface, making it an ideal conversation piece for office desks, bookcases, or maritime collections.
A perfect gift for naval history enthusiasts, wargamers, and collectors of Victorian-era military engineering. This model stands out from standard battleships due to its bizarre and innovative naval architecture, representing a fascinating dead-end in naval evolution.
