DominichSteven Posted May 29, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2022 Hello friends, I am continuing another project about a Vietnamese warship. Dinh Quoc is the name of the largest warship ever serving the Tay Son Navy, and the Nguyen Dynasty called it "Dai Hieu". There is no document that accurately describes this type of ship (most of the documents about the Tay Son Dynasty were destroyed by the Nguyen Dynasty). But according to the surviving documents, it can be affirmed that Dinh Quoc was not inferior in size to the ships of the line belonging to the naval forces in Europe at that time. In a letter to his friend Laurent Barizy dated March 2, 1801, Jean-Baptiste Chaigneau, a French officer serving in Nguyen Anh's army boasted that his troops had destroyed the Western fleet. Son, including one equipped with 50-60 heavy cannons. (wiki) I shortened the design to about 30 cannons and the scale 1:100, I relied on the remaining historical documents to create this boat. This is a project that takes a long time to restore the design that is almost gone, but still retains the most original shape and design of the 18th century Vietnamese warship. reklein, Siggi52, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted May 29, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 29, 2022 Is this a kit of your own design? It looks good so far, but it's certainly not a Caldercraft kit. mtaylor and DominichSteven 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

von_bednar Posted May 30, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2022 That's an amazing looking ship and a really impressive design work! If you turned that into a paper kit, or even a pdf to print at home I would buy it! Will be following along for sure!

I use a laser co2 and a 3D printer to create the parts. von_bednar, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominichSteven Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted June 8, 2022 After 1 week of assembly and testing, the product finally took shape. All details are ok but still need to tweak a bit to make it smoother. The upcoming work of sailing and drawing embossed motifs also consumes a lot of time to look up the patterns of the Tay Son dynasty. I had to cut a kit to put the led positions This is the Asian anchor salvaged from the Red River in Vietnam This is the ancient battle drum and gong of the Tay Son dynasty kept at Quang Trung museum, Binh Dinh province, Vietnam Cannons of the Tay Son Dynasty at Quang Trung Museum, Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam CiscoH, Prowler901, Siggi52 and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominichSteven Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted August 31, 2022 I finished my ship including the gilded reliefs on this ship. This project of mine is not big, but it took several months to complete.
