Hello all
Well, I don't know where to start because the subject is quite complex and some things are not what they seem at first glance. Perhaps with unpleasantness.
This is the same story as with Sovergein of the Seas, no big company wants to do it because the cost is too high. I had a glimmer of hope when new Occre's Belle Poule and AL Soleil Royal were released, that there will be new models that require little bashing and cover unique ships, not just variations of Victory, Santinisima Trinidad etc, but I guess it always comes down to having Victory in your stash. Mabye if HMS Implacable / Duguay-Trouin 1800 wasn't blown to pieces we would have a alternative irreplaceable ship.
Freelancers will most likely not respond, some will agree to do small parts and then be silent. Those who are able and willing will want the price of a mid-priced kit for only a few flowers. So unless you have a brand new car to trade in, SR is out of the question.
The funny thing is - I'm so grateful for all their rejections it forced me to work on my skills and showed me a way I would never consider in my life.
Soo this is the most complex part of SR's decoration. I don't know how much it will take to make the rest, but in this relief are all the skills which are necessary to create the rest of the ornaments.
-Rigging(figurines with bones)
-Hair making
-Sculpting
-Solidyfing curves
-Cloth making
I didn't create the human, it's part of the free Human Base Meshes Bundle uploded by Blender. I found some figures that after some modyfication can be applied to stern, but they're about 75% of 100% compatibility with orginal sculptures. I was going to add them, but after making Apollo they will also be scratch designed.
General thoughts and direction of this project
I don't want to build a whole ship, the stern cross section is possible but not certain. Certainly I'll try to fit it into the unfinished hull I bought some time ago, because without some unique accessories it's unsaleable and a candidate to be chopped up and put in the fireplace.
I could build an entire ship if someone wanted to commission one.
And finally, for those who want to see the real thing. Scale 1/48 and 1/72. The 3D prints are so accurate that even the smallest hanging hair is visible in the 1/72 variant
