HMC 24 - Weta Workshop Challenge - HMS Surprise

#1

I will be modelling the HMS Surprise. A Miniature tall ship built for MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD.

Looking forward to following everyone’s work on this one!

Here are some more references images I have found for the mini and the real HMS Rose that was converted to the HMS Surprise for the Movie.

Great choice. I love modelling ships. The rigging will take you forever though I promise you.

Oh, nice choice. And a good start with nice modelling so far.
I didn’t even know they used a miniature in that film, or that Weta was responsable.
Very impressive.
