Hello All,
My latest project.
The model is 100% SCRATCH BUILT, MADE OUT OF CHESTNUT WOOD, CUSTOM MADE, 1-OF-A-KIND... The scale of this ship is 1/96. It has 5 different deck levels, plank-on-frame construction. Total work hours on the model, 1,175, and about 10,000 pieces. About 61' of rigging.

Hi densships! Very nice first post!
Holy Cripes! Wow! Beautiful! and many more explanations of amazement!
Talk about dedication to a cause, you certainly have this quality. When I spend a couple of months on a project I think that is a long time. So that project only took the equivalent of almost an entire working year. Wow again! Do you have it in a glass case?

I am impressed!!!! I know you gave the scale but that doesn't tell me how large you model is - bow to stern are you at 16" or? Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
And I thank you all for the kind words.
The scale of the model is 1/96, (1/8"=1').
The model is 27" long x 12" wide, and 25" high mid-ship.
Thanks again,
Den
