I really admire the way you have reconstructed this vessel in the absence of actual plans. Great work. And your construction methods are novel and fascinating.

I love your builds, Steven. They are so interesting, archaeology in action!

On the topic of museums, I recommend a visit to the Naval Museum in Madrid if you can get there. It still has a superb display of models of all types and sizes. A wonderful place.

Your photos are so pristine they almost look fake. Gorgeous!
I know! When I first saw them, I assumed they were images from a 3D drawing program!

Wow! What a wonderful artefact to find while walking along the beach looking for seashells!

A ready source of boxwood for such figures is old folding woodworking rulers. I know some people think this is sacrilege (and perhaps it is) but if you go to the local fleamarket and find the guy selling old tools and other junk, he will often have some pretty beaten-up ones that are beyond their use-by date. They were made from excellent quality boxwood, too!

Looking really good Craig! The hull looks nice and fair.

Lots of great advice above, so many good choices. RED JACKET was a very handsome ship, there is a good article on a model of her in Model Shipwright magazine somewhere. COMET is also a great suggestion, I haven't seen a model of her (although I'm sure there is one). Another beauty is WILD PIGEON, plans are in Chapelle's book.

Craig,

It's an Australianism Craig. Don't worry, it's a sincere compliment.

Who needs a real boat when the model is this good? 😀

I loved MAGIC when I first read the story of your build of her with Jesperson. It's great to now be watching the model of her happening, so many years later!

I share a link to the photo instruction and text instructions (so far only in Russian).
But I think if you are interested, Google Translator can help a little

Aha, thankyou. It is planked on the mold, and then it just lifts off. Not really any tumblehome on the hull. Ingenious!

I'm fascinated by your patented plastic mold, it looks really effective. But how do you remove the framed hull from the mold so that you can plank it? Can it just be lifted off, or is there some tumblehome?

It's really starting to look shippy, isn't it? Nice save on the mizzen top.

What a magnificent model! Guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of any French captain! 😀
Great photography too, as Glenn notes.
