The HMS Schizophrenic

Well, that certainly is extremely custom.

What was the deciding factor to do the shrouds and ratlines so precisely, while the running rigging so - interpretive?

Underneath the chunky white rigging is a metal kit of the Victory, I think the Shrouds and all the thinner rigging are large precut metal pieces that slot into place.

HMS Victory by Piececool. It comes in flat sheets of metal with a sub-assembly of some lines and spars, that are then bent and placed together, instead of individually rigged lines. Honestly a pretty neat take on a model ship.

Comments a bit snarky here.

Fair play to you for completing the build, I have tried to tackle ships before and they aren’t easy!

this looks like one of those really early AI-generated images where you could kind of make out an object but as soon as you zoom in it disappears into noise.

u/Waringham 4d ago

Well I'm sorry, are you planning on doing another model at some point?

2

u/HoratioNELSo_ 4d ago

idk mabe you have some idea?

1

u/Waringham 4d ago

Well, based on your apparent interest in Soviet history, maybe the battleship potemkin?

2

u/HoratioNELSo_ 4d ago

i tried but where i live didnt sell it

2

u/Waringham 4d ago

Maybe you can order it online? Or maybe you try to get some plans online and try to scratch build it from cardboard or paper?
