Well, for past week it's been my main project. I finished it! :D

So, This is the H.M.S. Trafalgar, Named after the battle of Trafalgar, which was a great sea battle on October 21st, 1805, just outside the Gibraltar Strait. This was one of the few battles in which Emperor Napoleon the Great was defeated.

It is an impressive 110 meters long (0.11km) and 25 metes wide.
It is 65 meters high, which makes for it to fit perfectly under the height limit.

It has 11 square sails and 8 triangle sails spread across 3 masts and 14 cross-masts. There is a captain's quarters, crew quarters, storage/cargo hold, large kitchen and mess hall. It is equipped with 10 cannons ready to blow away Napoleon. (:

I get a lot of compliments about my sails, and I'd just like to let you know that they are hand crafted, I did not use any templates or design, simply my eye for sails... :P

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. (:

Additional Notes

Update #1 : by Ltcheesecracker 10/22/2011 5:33:49 pmOctober 22, 2011 @ 9:33 pm UTC

Added a neat poster-like image that I made using blender. (:
(I just today got around to learning how to use blender, so I decided I'd try it out on this model.)
That's all. I may lower the ship into the water a little more in a future update.

  Have something to say?

Um, this actually looks nothing like the H.M.S Traflgar. In fact I actually live in Nelson, and have seen many models of this boat, think you could maybe change the name/make an actual ship that looks like it?

To be honest, I just made this ship out of my imagination and named it a clever name. I had no idea there was ACTUALLY a ship named the H.M.S. Trafalgar!

I'm sorry for the confusion.

Now is this a 1:1 project? If so, that's a huge ship, especially insane because it's wooden! Was the draft really that shallow too? Or is it out of the water a bit.

Just read your comment from before about the draft, will look neat when lowered! Awesome model!

I didn't have a draft or any plans for this. I just made it up as I went :P

I did almost all of it by hand (because it looks best when you do it like that).

So yeah, idk if it's 1:1 scale, because i don't even know if there is a real ship like this. I kinda just made it up :P

Ohhh I see now. Also, don't you think it needs a spanker sail? That is, the aft-most sail that was sometimes connected to the rudder.

Ah yes I know exactly what that is. That's a good idea!

I'll probably add one in my next ship, because I'm starting to not like this ship as much. I think I could do much better.
