    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.

    This is a private order. My comment about the museum is a bit lower.

    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.

    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.

    Today I printed part of the decor for Le Fleuron. Wood cannot achieve such fine details.

    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

    Hi Matthias! I replied in private messages

    Thank you! Yes, of course, the ship's hull and decor were prepared for 3D printing or CNC

    I finally finished my long-standing project. Model of the French 3-deck 110-gun ship Dauphine Royal (1752). The ship was never actually built.

    Thanks for the advice. It’s a difficult time in Ukraine right now, when the blackout ends in the fall, I’ll try to do this

    Thank you! Since there are two opinions, it will mean more. I really need to create my own website

    Hello paul ron ! I mainly post all my work on Facebook (profile Igor Capinos ). Prices and details can be discussed in private messages ( everything is very individual)

    Beautiful, I like it. I have only one question - where did the quarter gallery go and where do the officers go to the toilet now?

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
