HMS Sovereign of the Seas belfry question

how much would you charge to get all the deco carved same scales as you ? no need painting just carved , I will paid anything to get that amount of details on my ship same as yours
I feel the same way about the carvings, but no one was selling a set of accurate carvings when I made that inquiry. The Chinese carving set was the closest to accurate and they are no longer available. Unfortunately, we have to make our own. Janos did a great job on his carvings. They take a couple years to make. My plan is to make 3-D models of all the decorations when I get to that stage and print them with a 3-D resin printer. That way, I can edit them when they don't turn out well and re-print them until they are good enough. After that, I want to make the files available to other modelers so they don't have to face this same problem. Before that, I have to learn the Blender modeling program. I have experience as a 3-D modeler and animator, so the learning curve will not be as steep. It will be a could years before I start on the decorations, though.

I GUESS is many of us in this situation.... thanks! really appreciate your feedback,
 
i love this ship, no i am obsessed with it , lucky me I live in London UK so I have access the to the maritime museum in Greenwich . sad;ly the library was closed on Saturday and the scale model has been moved to a different location, somerset house, strand , but they still have the famous painting of her stern and few ship of the same era , very similar ornament and structure , so it give us a general idea of what was the fashion at the time zoomed in pics from the painting

Many Thanks for sharing with us these detailed photos - Great help for everybody (trying) to build this ship
 
Sorry but I made only the drawings for the model in scale and corrected some parts what was wrong of the model.
Wofgang Rotter the builder of the model use for his carvings Japanese carving knives and material was pear wood.
