I'm in love with this model, by one Philip Reed, and just wanted to make the board aware of it. The definition of eye candy to my mind. link |

That IS a beautiful model, no doubt of that. Surprised the sails look so nice, considering they are only paper! |

It is beautiful, thanks for posting. |

Maybe missing it, but what scale is she? |
| Texas Jack | 13 Oct 2016 8:03 a.m. PST |
It doesn´t give the scale, at least not that I can see, but based on the length of the model and the length of the real ship, I would guess it is around 1/76 or 72nd, or thereabouts. She really is gorgeous! |

I really want to see this, but the OP is deleted. Vexing. |

Andrew the posting on top by Dentatus is deleted because the bug grabbed the thread when I clicked post, and fused mine with his. Check the second posting for the link. The scale seems to be "One man = the length of George Washington's pigtail on a US quarter", or thereabouts. It's an increasingly popular wargaming scale :)

Beautiful, yet eerily sterile without crew. Imagine how these models would come to life with a few crew. Still, works of art. I would enjoy visiting the museum. |

^ Hadn't read the comments yet and thought the same about the lack of crew. Just a few officers on the quarterdeck and a scattering of men about their work would make it even better than it already is. Otherwise, beautiful ghost ship… |
gets started with Flintloque.
