The ship in 3D
A 3D scan of the model as it stood in September 2026, built from 1,103 photographs. Turn it around in your browser.
This is not a drawing and not a render, but a measurement of the model as it stood on 10 September 2026: hull closed and coppered, guns in place, stern and quarter galleries finished, hammock cranes along the bulwark. The masts and rigging are still to come, so you will not find them here either.
The model was made with photogrammetry. I took 1,103 photographs, outdoors, all round the ship and from above, and the computer worked back from those to where every point sits in space. That gives a mesh of 70,022 triangles with the actual photographs as its skin. What you see is literally the wood and the copper of this model, not a rebuilt version of it.
Where it fails
Photogrammetry likes closed, matte surfaces. That is why the hull came out well: the seams between the copper plates, the planking runs, the black strake, the gunports and the stern windows are all there.
Thin parts you can see through are the opposite. At the bow the head and its rails run into a white lump, the ropes hanging there are shapeless, and the hammock netting along the bulwark has turned to foam. The camera looks straight through those parts to the background, and the calculation cannot then work out what is in front and what is behind.
I am leaving it as it is. The model is meant to show how the ship actually stands, and the bow that would not work is part of that.
