Thanks Gig. I'm doing my best. Each model gets a little better with practice. The next one is the English coat of arms.Hey Kurt,

The gallery decoration showing what is thought to be Bellerophontes mounting a beast is complete.
The next decoration, the English coat of arms on the gallery, is actually going to be easier than many others despite being one of the most complex ones. An image of the coat of arms is being used as a shortcut. It's not a perfect match, but close enough in that it has all the elements of the Payne engraving image, with variations in the details. The image is loaded and is applied to a 5000x5000 point grid as a displacement map, which reshapes the flat, square grid into a 3-D object based on the image. The object produced was then bent using the shear tool to match the hull sheer at the gallery.
The displacement map generated good enough results to use as-is without any changes except to add the plumes behind the coat of arms, which will be made as separate objects and merged into the coat of arms at the top.

The English coat of arms for the gallery is done.
Using the Elastic Stretch sculpting tool in Blender, I was able to stretch the lower left corner of the object and lower part of the body of the unicorn on the right until they roughly match the shape of the Payne engraving. It's not perfect, but close enough. All this detail may not be printed when the object is printed in resin since the entire carving will be approximately 20mm x 20mm.

Work is continuing on two more decorations on the gallery.
The hippocampus (seahorse) is roughed out and posed using bones. Once all the objects are done, they will be converted into a bas relief.
