densships

Hello,
Here is my latest ship model.
The model is 100% built from scratch, one-of-a-kind, scaled @ 1/96. 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.
Thanks,
Den

Good Lord Man, This a fantastic work of art. You should be very proud of your work. I wish I could see it in person. Wonderful! What did you use for plans?

I assume you do all the carving on these Den?
1,175 hours of work. That's like 30 weeks. At 5 days a week, 8 hours a day for 7.5 months. I'm sure you don't work on them like that tho. You must have small hands and be big on patience. Atta boy!!!!!

Cool, a fellow ship modeller.
These things are measured in years, I started a 1/100 HMS victory when we found out my wife was carrying, Abi is two now! ands I've still not got the upper decks finished.
