Hello,

I don't want to be mean or unpleasant, but after examining this model, while we can congratulate the model maker(s) who created it, the same cannot be said for the reconstruction of the plan itself. 
I dont know the origin of the plan or the sources used by Igor, but this reconstruction is full of design anomalies. I will not go into detail about all the errors concerning the ship's architecture and equipment, as the list would be embarrassingly long.
However, the design effort should be commended because it requires a lot of work but also, and this is very important for the credibility of the model, a lot of knowledge and references that are clearly not present.
As we must pay tribute to the work of these model makers, we should call this model "Variation on Le Dauphin Royal".

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.

Просто интересно — эта модель была заказана частным лицом или музеем? У вас очень талантливая команда мастеров.

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.

Matthias, this is magnificent, I have not seen anything better.

What a great start! I wish you a successful finish.

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.

Stern set of decor for the French 64-gun ship Le Fleuron 1729. 3D printing for painting

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!

Good morning Igor, that looks fantastic!! How can you transform these drawings now into a real model? Can you use them for Cnc carving?

Matthias

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.

One of the most beautiful French ships from the fleet of the Sun King. Le Ambitieux (1692). So far only the stern decor

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?

Everything is for sale, what are you interested in? Please write in private messages

The first project completed this year. The work began several years ago. A set of decor for one of the most beautiful ships of the 18th century - the French 64-gun ship Le Fleuron 1729
