Merci Captain Yapudo.

The original topic is for listings of commercially available pirate ship models, rather than for scratchbuilt models or conversions, so I have started a new thread for this one  :)

Yes, please, do share, since I'd like to learn how to build a nice, scratchbuilt frigate, or other, smaller vessels like that too.

Tres joli  :-*
And very impressive.
It's going to look wonderful when it's finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Loving your model! It really does L'Hermione justice. This is by far one of the best ships I've seen built for the tabletop. How did you shape the hull so smoothly?

Title: Re: Scratchbuilt 28mm scale French Fregate
Post by: Captain yapudo on February 16, 2015, 01:30:44 PM

Hi guy's,

This hull is made with "60mm polystyrène roof isolation", cut with a big cutter and sand with sandpaper.

Hand curve will form the curve of the hull...

About 2 hour to do this  ;)

Brands bords are sculpted with a pen ;)
 The figurehead with a toy "a Lion and a five of cake",
Guns are made with pop rivets.

Here his my work progress:

Don't know how I missed your last update, but I'm quite pleased to see your progress on the ship! Your painting on this ship is quite good, and I find myself really drawn to the yellow band. Excellent job balancing the fantastical painting practices on miniatures with a more subdued realism.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing; this is a wonderful build. I've been thinking about doing something similar myself for a while. Your posts may have just given me the motivation to start soon.
