Standart 1893 by AlexBaranov - FINISHED - scale 1:48 - Imperial yacht

[G.L.]

Your Standart is a real masterpiece.

[AlexBaranov]

Thank.
Of course, it was possible to build in more detail and put a lot of small details that I missed on this ship. If I did that, the ship had a completely space budget.

Marvellous model Alex. Didn't you make two of them?

 

Hard to tell from the photos but at least one of the plans is Atalanta, a Swan  class vessel. The class is featured in the four volume series by David Antscherl with every detail included. Plans and books are available from Sea Watch Books.

 

Would love to see the quick and easy method you used to make the hull.

Hello.
Yes, I first built two identical ships. But then he sold one of them unfinished to another modeller who completed the construction. Both bodies were cut from nine parts on a CNC machine. Pre-prepared 3D model of the shell.

Beautiful !! A masterpiece.

Hello.
Yes, I built this ship. This is the second Standard that I sold to finish building with another modeler (this is his model in the auction catalog). My ship was custom built three times more expensive than auction prices.

Looking at the price, I kind of figured that it was actually the second model you mentioned somewhere in you building-log.
