It goes in the “my Favorites” section Capn’. The attention to detail is incredible! Excellent job on the craftsmanship as well! On a scale of 1-5 I give it a 10!!!!

Ahoy! That’s incredible!

Truly amazing! Do you work off copies of the original plans of the ship to achieve accurate scale size?

I can’t even begin to imagine spending 1175 hours of painstaking, meticulous work on a project. You have way more patience that I do! Great job, and you obviously love it.

That is astonishing. Really detailed, must be quite a job to build something like this. One of the guys on the CarveWright Forum is a ship builder also. He uses his CarveWright to cut the small wooden parts for his ships. Always amazes me seeing this kind of miniature work.

I am speechless.

Den,

After looking at your profile I suspected something like this was coming but never did I imagine the level of detail that would be in this project. What type of woods did you use in the construction?

I love to see projects like this. I wouldn’t have the patience or initiative to do something like this (give me a cabinet any day). But I do like to see the efforts of others who are talented enough to produce works like this.

By the way I tried to use the link but it generated an error due to heavy traffic.

This is simply awesome!!!

INCREDIBLE….... About 12 years ago I shot photos for an article about a guy building a scaled model of Noah’s Ark….. That project’s detals blew me away. It was the most detailed work I’d ever seen….. until now. Fantastic work Dens. Thanks for the post and I’m looking to more from you.

“awe”-lots!! totally amazing!!!
