Title: My New Ship Model
Post by: densships 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.

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.

Post by: nhp651 on May 18, 2009, 07:55:24 am: 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. :-)) :-)) :-))
