Research behind the historic ship replica model
This historic ship replica model at 1:96 was reconstructed from archival drawings and period photographs for a heritage exhibition. Our research team sourced original hull lines and rigging plans, then combined CNC hull fabrication with period-accurate hand detailing.
Curator review gates
Aged sails, brass fittings and a weathered paint scheme were all reviewed and approved by the museum’s curators before final delivery. A mid-course review with scale test rigging confirmed the silhouette matched the historical record before final rigging began.
Delivery timeline
The build took fourteen weeks from research dossier to final inspection. The historic ship replica model shipped with a construction archive — reference list, progress photography and materials notes — supporting the museum’s exhibit labeling and provenance records.
