Good afternoon!
I am the son of the master who created this masterpiece. My father has been making this model for seven years.
He studied the intricacies of shipbuilding and everyday life a lot and told my brother and me a lot.
My father is very grateful for the appreciation of his work. He is now planning to create a new model.
Below I will add photos that have not been previously published on other sites. These are photos of the boat manufacturing process for the model.
I have already posted notes about the ship itself and the construction process of this model, if you are interested, I am ready to answer questions or, if I cannot, I will give them to my father.

The whole process is a wonderful practicum in making small boats. The decorative carvings are a wonder!
Thanks for sharing this invaluable pictorial.
Please post more, If you would, on the entire project. I know everyone on this platform would love to see them and would benefit greatly by them.
These are soooo beautiful!

So incredible that a person can create such detail. Is your father a carpenter by trade?

Thank you to your father for building and allowing us to admire this model. It's not good to hide such beauty from the whole world.

Wonderful - absolut magic - My biggest respekt for this shipbuilder and my best wishes
Landsman and Mr. Deep,
Thank you for posting the photos and information. Incredible skill and enviable ability. The gentlemen that did all the work is an amazing craftsman. I could live to be 150 and never come close to the skill level he shows in his model ship building. A true craftsman of incredible talent. Thank you for sharing.
