You can make your own scratch vessel....

32inch hull size

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

Un peu plus de détails mon camarade 


Can we get some details about it ?

impressive, I've scratch built 1/1200 scale (see photo) but never attempted something that scale

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

That Frigate is something very special.

Well done.

Thanks my lords.

This frigate scratch built is made with:

"polystyrène compact" usually used for building isolation,
little wood sticks "barbecue brochettes",
wooden square sticks on each hull side made with"barbapapa candy",
Gun into the hull made with "Rivets pop",
Mast are made with wood stick initially used by my wife for flowers in garden...
Old T shirt to made voiles etc...

Anchor and gun on the deck buy to my friend "goldfinger production"

etc...

[Captain Blood]

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

[Captain yapudo]

Thanks,

Here is the original....L'HERMIONE Lafayette's ship....

Euh modern copy came recently at Bordeaux's port...

[TheWeasel]

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?

[Captain yapudo]

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:

[cianty]

What a great scratch-built! Can't wait to see it in full colour.
