Nacho Z Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 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.

atomicholiday Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 That’s absolutely beautiful. Excellent craftsmanship. Is this based on a kit? Or all scratch built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
