Stunning build.  Well beyond my skill level.

Doggone, Ken, that is beautiful!!  Forgive me for what may be a dumb question, what about the masts, sails, rigging, etc?  Is that the next phase?   Are you even doing that?  I’m a huge admirer of these wooden ships.  I’ll never build one but I absolutely love them.

thank you! building in this style are called admiralty versions and yes the next steps would be as you mentioned. I have another that I built that is fully rigged but with no sails. ( they cover a lot of the rigging ).

Fantastic! Art, modeling skills, patience and history. I’m with Nacho Z, I love this but my skill and patience and modeling skills and history are not on par with this. Great job on a totally cool ship.

That’s absolutely beautiful.  Excellent craftsmanship.

Is this based on a kit?  Or all scratch built?

thank you Jeremy! they are called kits but you have to cut every piece from a box of wood using 1 to 1 drawings. the scratch building takes them to another level. the one pictured with the rigging took 3 years to build.
