  1. Which will look more or less like this. It's still not easy to fully appreciate Ancien Regime style French carving design in what can amount to pixel-art, but the stern ensemble looks (almost) continuous now.
  2. A couple of new shots of La Salamandre after a long pause. Still a lot of polishing and colour correction remains for the stern, and I am seriously thinking about increasing the resolution of the side texture to make the quarter badges sharper.
  3. Some more assorted shots. Warspite, Cambridge, other ships in the background.
  4. I may be mistaken, the superimposition is very rough, but: With a difference of .7m it seems that you can get the Christiania tumblehome without cutting the original upper works, just extending the sides under the gun deck either by over planking or changing the frame shape.
  5. Oh, yes, the hull is decidedly French in style, and it would be very interesting to see how you are going to change the bulkheads.
  6. The Elephant-style razee. In addition to blackening the guns, I completely removed the solid bulwark from the forecastle, replacing it with netting structure. Now she looks a bit more like an oversized frigate. A little bit.
  7. Much better! Hanging tails of the sitting captain could probably use some work, but the ensemble is already sufficient in conveying recognizable shapes. So the sculptor can do it right after all, if pressured enough
  8. The "long" razee frigate with the same corrections applied:
  9. The 74-razee frigate with correctly sized gunports and darkened guns:
  10. I think many quite underestimate the state of the market of miniature figures. And those things do set certain expectations. (wargaming enthusiasts can discern specific regiments by eye at this scale and manufacturers know this) This means there is a certain industry standard. Just a couple of examples from image search - in 1/58 (28mm) scale:
  11. Another shot from the sailing test, a very dynamic one:
  12. @Kevin, it's the sculptor's hide we are after, not Chris. And that he has taken the money without doing a minimally plausible work by his own - let alone market - standards makes it only worse. I really doubt such "professionals" should be encouraged.
