My New Ship Model
« on: October 07, 2008, 07:57:33 pm »
Hello,
  Heres a few pics of my new ship model. This model was built from scratch, scaled 1/96 and made out of chestnut wood.
The model is 27" long x 12" wide, and 25" high mid-ship. And has 5 different deck levels, plank-on-frame construction. Total work hours on the model, 1,175, and about 10,000 pieces. About 61' of rigging.

Thanks,
Den

Absolutely beautiful.  Would you be able to explain a bit more about how you went about building her?  Perhaps with some more pictures?

I'm sure there would be a very appreciative audience here!

Thanks to all for the kind words.
Some of the planks were left off the hull and deck to show the models construction, here is a few construction photos.









A little over 300 hours in all the gold work.


Thanks again,
Den

Glad this was moved from where it was 'hidden'.

What a wonderful piece of workmanship, every part of it is simply stunning - a true labour of love.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

far and away above my talent level..........I admire anyone who can "manufacture" so many processes in one model.
Just one word for this magnificent piece of work.

STUNNING. :-)) :-)) :-))
