Truly excellent work. Prices would be nice, but I understand that will depend on scale and other factors. What /I/ would need to see, before purchasing a hull like this, is a construction log showing how to build using an essentially 1-piece hull. How inside structure should be done, if instructions or plans suggest anything, how it's attached to superstructure, etc. I would have no idea how to proceed if I purchased and had this, so of course I could not buy it without more information. It would also be good to know if planking detail is included (sometimes it appears not, other times yes).

Nevertheless, wonderful models!

@Signet and the other modelers

The printed 3D hull is similar to the hulls which you can find in plastic model kits from Heller or Airfix - HULL SHELL.
Whether you cover it with veneer or strips it is your choice.

MAIN IDEA IS HELP MODELERS IN BUILDING A SRATCH MODEL. The 3D printed, ready-made hull speeds up the building of the model. Not everyone has enough time for their hobbies.

ADVANTAGES = You can build any model from scratch whatever you want. ONLY YOU decide what model it will be. How big. You don't have to limit yourself to the ready-made sets available on the modelling market. We will design and 3D print the hull of any sailing ship, ship or vessel. If necessary, we will design and 3D print additional elements such as decors. barrels, bells, anchors etc. We can 3D print full model for you. It is not problem for us.

I don't know if you know Robert Hahn's website = Building of the Titanic model - LOOK HERE

With the SZKUTNIK-TEAM you can build any model if you want in a similar way. You just need to send us good documentation, drawings and photos on the basis of which we will create our project.
The Tiger, Le Fleuron, Saint Philippe, Douphine Royal and other models were created on this principle of operation. We try to help you realize your modeling dreams. :D
 
These are so nice that it's almost reasonable to plan you next product for what's available here.
@SZKUTNIK are your choices of subject bound a bit by availability of documentation? I saw a lot of French ships earlier in your list and through ANCRE they have better images and plans for figureheads ad decorative details, even relative to the Royal Museums' NMM
 
Ahoy!

@glennb17 = The choice of subjects mainly depends on the demand for figures, decors, barrels and other parts by modellers. There is a private request to design and make decors for the model.... and we are trying to fulfil this request. Sometimes there are problems with access to good documentation? Especially for older, less known sailing ships. As shiplover's we have contacts with museum workers. We searching information about similar sailing ships. (paintings, books, sculptures, architecture, etc. from a given historical period)
 
I agree with the person who earlier wrote that it would be worthwhile to take on a project for which you already have tried and tested parts! These are beautiful and cry out for display! I would be proud to have them on any of my models if for no other reason than to demonstrate a new realizable threshold in the craft we have all come to love.
 
Ahoy!

SANTA CLOUS is coming. He will bring gifts under the Christmas tree for polite modelers :D MERRY CHRISTMAS

The last big project of the year. One of the most beautiful French ships from the fleet of the Sun King. Le Ambitieux (1692). This version is based on drawings by Jean Berain and differs slightly from the famous reconstruction by Jean Boudriot.
