When I first saw it I was amazed and the more I look the more I see. Does anyone know how to get my jaw back off the floor? thank you for the kind words, it's hard to catch the beauty of the wood in pictures.

This model is looking very good. I can imagine this being as Artesania Latina rendition (edit; you mentioned Corel) , and your attention to cannon rigging is well done, the planking looks to be correctly executed on the deck and hull, and the overall appearance is a treat. Did I say that I love wooden ship models…? lol. A magnificent model, compliments. I'll be dropping by when you update, thanks for sharing this endeavor. thank you Mike, glad you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone brought a book to a model meeting, about ship models in museums, they used to build models before blueprints were done. I'm sure all the real ships are long gone, but the models remain. More power to you! thanks Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
