Henry VIII Of England 1491 - 1547

One of my most complex models yet, the one and only Henry VIII. I thought I should put all my effort into this one cause Henry is such a recognizable icon, the whole model itself took almost a month to make.

some stuff about Henry: Henry VIII was King of England from 22 April 1509 until his death in 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages, including his efforts to have his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon) annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII about such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated. Henry is also known as "the father of the Royal Navy," as he invested heavily in the navy, increasing its size from a few to more than 50 ships, and established the Navy Board.
