Prince de Neufchatel

It took me a few years and a cross country move but she was finally completed 5 yrs ago. I'm just an average builder and am very pleased when a ship is finally completed.

What i like about this model is first it is painted and you still see the individual planks. You don't see many painted models.
next i like the deck, personally i am not a fan of stark white Holly decks and this one looks like a wooden deck. The closeup showing the nails is a nice touch
the closeup of the stern post is so well done, it's natural rustic looking.

overall a very well done model, nice attention to detail and great craftsmanship

i would give this a solid 3 1/2 star rating out of 5

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your comments. It seems all my models have that look, no weathering needed...lol

I like your realistic model. To me it represents a ship that has some history yet not been neglected. Well done.
