HMS Sovereign of the Seas - Bashing DeAgostini Beyond Believable Boundaries

Well they would be better than what was original there or what I could design.

I have a resin 3D printer and am still learning how to get good products off from it.

Lots can go wrong yet. The thinness of the models may prove too delicate to print. There are plenty of things to learn using the printer also, which is still sitting in the box unopened. You will definitely be sought out for advice when the printings begins. One step at a time . . .

To me, they don't quite look like theatrical masks so much as stylized scroll-like embellishments. Note that on the original the "eyes" are actually not quite closed circles. But at scale what you've got is going to look great.

What do you think the circles represent? I can rework them if you can tell me what the details on the scrolls are.

To me they look more like crescents than circles, and I think they show the edge of a curled surface, if any of that makes sense. Here's a link to a licensable image that is the closest thing I have found to what I am trying to describe, but the one in your reference image appears to have more thichness.

You can print VERY thin! I printed these sails for a model lamp and they are < 1mm.20241121_162807.jpg20241121_162757.jpg20241121_162748.jpg
 
Halfway done with the Leo panel. A standing lion object was changed in pose using bones, and the tail was lengthened to the length used in a English heraldic style lion. Who says bashing is limited to the ship model? For a beginner, it is easier in 3-D modeling to bash existing models as well, which saves lots of time. The vine background detail is being started by tracing the design with points and lines in a plane, interpreting where the shape is behind the shroud lines and the lion.

Still working on the Leo panel. Almost done.

That looks good enough. Time for the next one...

That is really coming along! Beautiful work! Have you tried printing yet?

(I am currently taking a Udemy course on Blender. So I sprung for a pen display tablet and will run 2 monitors for designing. I'll also use it with Fusion, Shapr, and some other drawing programs I own incl Photoshop - should be fun!)20241202_123236.jpg20241202_123346.jpg

Wow! Nice setup! I'll bet that tablet makes working a lot easier. I haven't tried printing any models yet. That will come later.
