Hear are some photos of my sovereign of the seas model before I put it in a glass display case.

Details-

This started as the Deagostini 1:84 model kit,I used the inner frames and keel of the kit only,then everything else on the model is scratch built.
I used 3 types of wood on the model beech for the decks,pear for planking,whales etc and castello boxwood for all carving.
All metal parts are made of brass and blackened the rope is from ropes of scale.
This is my first attempt at scratch building and carving by hand so it is not the best in some places,there is a lot details that are wrong on this model so it was big learning curve,so i will call it a practice model before I fully scratch the next model ship.
I’m happy to answer any questions.IMG_7063.jpegIMG_7064.jpegIMG_7065.jpegIMG_7066.jpegIMG_7060.jpegIMG_7053.jpegIMG_7091.jpegIMG_7093.jpegIMG_7102.jpegIMG_7097.jpegIMG_7099.jpegIMG_7055.jpegIMG_7058.jpegIMG_7057.jpegIMG_7070.jpegIMG_7080.jpegIMG_7077.jpegIMG_7078.jpegIMG_7083.jpegIMG_7075.jpegIMG_7067.jpegIMG_7047.jpegIMG_7046.jpegIMG_7103.jpeg
 
I think Roger hit the nail on the head, spectacular work. Aside from the carving, the mellow wood tones blend together really well.
 
If you did the carvings on your own, you have huge potential to get some extra money by selling them to 3D printing fellows. They need them to make 3D model STL files.
