  1. Gerard, thank you for your comment. I am very glad that this work did not leave you indifferent. You know very well that such a ship did not really exist, therefore there are no historically accurate drawings. But the model, which is in the Rochefort Museum, impresses primarily with its decorative design. Many modelers would like to repeat this model, but there were no drawings that would allow this model to be built. The first attempt to make ship model drawings was made by the late Alexander Gerashchenko from Odessa. The drawings are not bad, but there were many technical inconsistencies. Two years ago I received an order to create a 3D model of the ship based on Gerashchenko's drawings and a photo of the model from the museum. It is clear that this reconstruction does not pretend to be historical for obvious reasons. Models of this kind decorate private collections, hotel lobbies, yacht clubs, etc. A second model is currently being built. There are fair comments from modelers on the correction of some points, I agree with them, I will correct. If you find time to describe the problems and discrepancies, I will be very grateful to you.
  2. This is a private order. My comment about the museum is a bit lower.
  3. Craftsmen from Odessa are finishing the Model of the French 3-deck 110-gun ship Dauphin Royal (1752). The model is being built based on my reconstruction.
  4. Matthias, this is magnificent, I have not seen anything better.
  5. It's finally time to return to a very old project. I started it over 10 years ago but never had the time or skills to finish it. Hopefully it's time to continue.
  6. Full decor set for Saint Philipe 1693 scale 1:48. 3D print
  7. Stern set of decor for the French 64-gun ship Le Fleuron 1729. 3D printing for painting
  8. Today I printed part of the decor for Le Fleuron. Wood cannot achieve such fine details.
  9. The last big project of the year. One of the most beautiful French ships from the fleet of the Sun King. Le Ambitieux (1692). This version is based on drawings by Jean Berain and differs slightly from the famous reconstruction by Jean Boudriot
