Restoration project

[MShaw]

Hi All, I'm working to restore a model that has been damaged from years in storage. The bow sprit, rudder and some of the masts have been damaged. Can anyone identify this ship? It has 4 canons on each side, but no name.

Looks like a folk art ship model from Indonesia would be my guess. They were a decoration piece and not a true representation of a scale model.

Totally agree that it looks like a decorator piece based on the figment of someone's imagination rather than any actual ship but it looks like a fun project for you. Welcome aboard.

also from my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum
If it is "only" a decoration model, than I have to say that there is a lot of work invested in this model
I agree, with the others, that it will be hard or even impossible to identify a real ship as the basis, but it is a nice model
