HMS Sovereign of the Seas - Bashing DeAgostini Beyond Believable Boundaries

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

The central figure of King Charles I on the stern is complete. This model took the longest so far to make.

Making the King Charles I coat of arms underneath his statue promised to be weeks of work building it from scratch, so I natyurally looked for shortcuts. I found this asset online which was scanned from a plaster sculpture, and matched the version of the coat of arms on the Sovereign in most features, especially compared to other assets available. However, it was rough, being a laser scanned object. I edited it and here are the results.

That came out very nicely!
