LE BONHOMME RICHARD by Jeronimo - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Like many others I have followed your build from the beginning and have not stopped admiring your exquisite workmanship. Many congratulations on finishing this beautiful work of art. 

 

I'm going to miss the updates but I suspect I'll be looking back through the log for inspiration and maybe just to admire your work.

 

Thank you Karl for sharing this build with us. 

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

A simply magnificent example of the model maker's art Karl. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us - it has been truly inspirational.

Karl,

 

I can't say much more than what everyone else has.   This is a work of art as are the other two sections you have completed.   Can we get a picture of all 3 sections in one picture?

Karl,

 

It really is a masterpiece. Besides the exceptional craftsmanship, the overall effect of how you presented it becomes a work of art.

Hi friends,

many thanks for the comments and Likes.

 

Karl, I have been following your build of all three sections of this ship for a few years now and can only say they are all astounding! Might we see a photo shoot of all three sections together?

 

Karl,

Unfortunately, a picture with three model segments of the BHR is not possible together.

Every model segment is for itself in a seperate glass cabinet / protective bonnet and

stand on different places.

Here, however, some pictures of my private ship model -museum.

Hello friends,

thanks to all for your kind comments.

 

Very nice work and even nicer when we see where you display it.

 

Karl, did you decide which model  is going to be your next build?

 

My next project  is the construction / build of the 74-Gun Ships,

rear section as a cross-model with complete interior outfitting.

Karl,

Amazing work! I really like your display cases as well, did you make them? if so can your share a bit on the methods used?

 

That's quite a ship, you never get a feel for the scale until you see the photos next to your furniture and especially where the top masts stretch up toward the ceiling!

 

If I ever manage to get across the pond to Germany, I hope I can stop by for a close-up view.

Current Build: Authentic Hannah Kit Bash

Pending Continuation: Sea of Galilee Boat
