A beautiful original model, rarely, if ever, represented in scale models. Can't wait to see it in its diorama.

This was my first attempt at using 3d printing elements. The boats are 3d printed. I sourced them on line from a modeller on the Brittmodellers site. I found pictures showing Oriana carrying all the types at one time or another.....so I got a bit carried away.

Nice one. I see you have added an interesting variety of lifeboats/excursion vessels over the past few weeks. Did you scratchbild them or did you take them from kits?

Basic hull is done, masked and primed. Now drilling out the portholes before airbrushing the white upperworks. It's begining to look like the Oriana!

So many bays one might have to take their shoes off to count! Certainly not a ship to deploy in great following seas! A beauty never the less!

The stern is proving to be a complex build but we'll get there eventually!

Work is progressing, albeit slowly!
The funnels need to be replaces as does the structure supporting the fore funnel. I'm not happy with either of them at the moment.

Looking very nice. Will you be doing the white hull or the corn colored hull?

That looks pretty nice. My only foray into near that scale was a 1:515 model of the DE Whitehurst. I can appreciate why most small scale models are waterline, from the distance we view them they look more natural that way. Also props, shafts, rudders, bilge keels etc are a PITA at that scale if you are scratch building. I was able to print decent inclined and vertical ladders without resorting to PE, which was the point of the project.
Looks to me a comely ship!
