Clogged Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 A scratch built wooden model ship, built 'plank on frame', hence the exposed frames showing how it was constructed. Made mainly from Cherry wood, and some boxwood. Surveyor figure was scratchbuilt and other 2 figures came from Nemrod range from Historex. 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 That's fantastic, nice to see a wooden ship on here. Scratch built as well, that's very impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Gidday @Clogged, she's beautiful, stunning. Very impressive scratch building. And very brave too, without any external hull planks so the timber frames have to be accurate. Will we see this at WASMEx this year?

Not sure when the WASMEx is, never shown anything before. Would love to show this ship but don’t know what the process is. We might be away then anyway.

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Oh this is so good! As a newbie wooden boat builder, I know enough to appreciate the quality of this model. Everything looks good. I admire the rigging in particular, it's so tight and tidy. Your woodworking too is top quality. One day, perhaps I'll be able to do this - thanks for the inspiration. Did you make your own rope? It looks very nice indeed. Were the sweeps used from the railing support irons on the real thing? Is it based on a particular vessel or is it generic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind remarks. ‘Le Rochefort was indeed a real ship, yacht in fact. Used to supply French warships with ammunition at Le Rochefort. The ship was made from a monograph by Ancre a French company that supplies detail plans for a lot of ships. Here’s their link. https://ancre.fr/en/ And there is in fact at present a group build just started at shipsofscale. The rope came from a Canadian company call Crafty Sailor. https://craftysailor.com/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Really nice unusual model subject well executed. Great to see a model of a small period vessel scratch built with carefully chosen different woods used. The well painted figures and accessories set it off nicely and bring the model to life as well as modelling it on a slip way showing it being worked on. Excellent presentation!

theskits62 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Absolutely stunning piece of work. It would be impressive if it was from a kit but scratchbuilt !! Edited June 25, 2023 by theskits62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
