Craftsmen from Odessa are finishing the Model of the French 3-deck 110-gun ship Dauphin Royal (1752). The model is being built based on my reconstruction.

Hello, I have some doubts about the proportions. In my opinion, these sculptures are disproportionate in terms of scale, and not only that, but also the hunting cannons (at the bow)—how can they fire with all that equipment in front of them? Could you give me some information? Frank

 

[Totmoz]

Hello Frank! Yes, you are right, the points you have mentioned raise questions. I would like to remind you that my reconstruction is an attempt to create a copy of the model from the museum in Rochefort. I have attached a photo of the original for comparison. I cannot give an exact explanation. Perhaps some of the decor was removed during shooting. Regarding the massiveness of the figures, I would like to remind you that the real ship was not built. Perhaps the builders of the model enlarged the figures for greater impression.

Hello Totmoz, Thank you for responding and providing me with information. Thank you. Frank

I think the figurehead is very much in keeping with the Rochefort modèle .
Bravo pour ce travail !

Hi! You can compare it with the model stored in the National Maritime Museum.

Hello, the comparison is made if the museum model has never been tampered with for various restorations.
Have you noticed that the hands and body do not have anatomical shapes? Frank

 

[Totmoz]

Yes, that's right, so I made the poses more natural while keeping the main idea.

Great job, compatriot! Lots of work. And I wanted to clarify a little for the future: the boards are nailed at the ends, and not just to the frames in the middle section, as I indicated in the photo. But otherwise I like it!
