Beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing.
Even more stunning when you think it was made in an age without the tools we have today, & then how many of us can match this work - I know I can't!
Steven, I enjoyed so much your photos from the museum. Thanks for taking the time to shoot the photos for us. Magic Mike
Lucky you - you are in the States and visit the museum
and you can see these amazing models of the collection.....I would be interested in these two models I mentioned in post #26
The Bonhomme with views from both sides (different gunports and armament) and the horizontal cut model - Please ..... would be great

I will post all my pictures soon, but see here the ones requested. If you are ever visiting the DC region you have to go there. Ps bring a handkerchief as you definately start drooling.
See below the split model.
And the bonnehome richard

Many Many Thanks my friend for these photos - it is very interesting to see, how the modeler solved some details.
Split model:
I was very surprised to see, that the outside of the lower hull part was not build with frames, but covered by some cardboard or similar
So this seems to be a POB and not a POF model
Bonhomme Richard:
great to see both sides - with this the information given by Jean Boudriot in his monograph with the changes of the armament (and gunports) is clearly visible
In my opinion a very good idea to show the same ship in different periods
Great photos - once more many thanks

If you are walking into the candy store you are overwhelmed by all the beautifull goodies on offer, then you allways forget what you came for.
But I came for the Culver SotS and here it is.
I want to use it for my own build of SotS somewhere in the future. My wife says I have to become over 100 to full fill all my plans, I guess she is right

A pity the Sovereign model was placed in a dark cornerIf you are walking into the candy store you are overwhelmed by all the beautifull goodies on offer, then you allways forget what you came for.

And the last ones, more to follow from other ships.
The Culver model is based on the Lely painting from the Boston art museum, that is what makes it special it is according the original Heyward design allthough it is most probably not like the ship was build.

You are right but I guess the sail material can t withstand too much UV light as this model is also over 100 years old.
Many Thanks for sharing with us these photos of a very spectacular model.
Interesting to see, that it is really prominent and amazing caused by the ornaments, which are made by metal cast plates but not single small elements (you can recognize the joint between two plates at the stern joining the side) - but looking great
The main task was the ornaments, but less details on the "wooden" work of the model, like hull planking, gratings, fixing of anchors etc.
A very interesting model
