Thanks, Chuck, I´m glad that model is nice to you  And, you´re right - it is.

 

I´m adding some more pictures of the finished model. Nexttime I´ll try to take some pictures of the ship during twilight, but I have to wait for a better weather.

Jan,

Such a georgeous model! The photos through the rigging with the white background are especially striking. Bravo!

Jan,

 

That finished up to be a stunning model.  I hope you'll keep it somewhere safe as it's a masterpiece.

Hi Firdajan:

Browsing build logs tonight....ran across your magnificent La Couronne build. WOW! You are a very talented artist sir. Your photography is equally impressive. I am completely blown away.

The La Couronne has a very special place in my heart because it was my first attempted scratch build. Enjoyed it, but did a very poor job....so I increased the scale and built her again. Although much better the second time, still nowhere near the quality of your work.

Now on my 10th project after taking a two year break....enjoying getting back to my shop.

The link below my signature will take you to my two La Couronne builds.

Thanks for sharing your work.
