LE BONHOMME RICHARD by Jeronimo - Finished


Recommended Posts

I can't answer the "why", but it's very common in the French ships.  Stylistic choice perhaps?

I was thinking the same thing, the stairs would be much easier to negotiate if they were linear.

Perhaps it's to make them feel less steep?  They are steep anyways but I imagine if the went straight down they would be all the more.

Yes, if they went straight down but I was thinking linear in line with the existing top and bottom fixing points like a normal staircase.

 

Thanks mtaylor, I was thinking that must be the reason, the French do like their style.

Beautiful! It all looks obvious and straightforward when you view the headwork of a completed model. Your photos show just how exceptionally complex those pieces in the head really are. Great craftsmanship.

Karl,

 

your model is really a reference for me and perhaps for other model builders. The accuracy in every detail of your model is absolut extraordinary. I like sitting in front of my monitor and watch the deatils.
