Prow. I think the figurehead will end up being an eagle or a dragon or something:

The model is designed to come apart in the middle to reveal the cross section:

I drew inspiration from Captain Green Hair's Le Requin (cannons and prow details). I'll be posting more pictures as the model comes together at my Brickshelf gallery. Comments and critique are welcome!

That's an epic creation on MLCAD! :pir-cry_happy:
I would increase the bowsprit's length more, it's rather short. :pir-wink:
Since it's a marvellous ship, are you going to build it in real bricks?
It looks almost exactly like Darwin's ship! :pir-oh3: :thumbup:
Excellent work!

Soon! :pir-sweet:

You could make the whole ship 1 hullpiece longer, but for the rest I'd say: start with the real thing! :pir-sweet:
It looks very nice, your figurehead is also a good idea.
Just like the others: can't wait to see this thing in real!

Cool Mlcad design. I hope you build it for real. Best of luck with it.

Really cool! I love it! It looks just like what I would imagine a ship of that time would look like. You did not overdo it, and yet still covered all of the bases. Any plans to make it a reality?

I really like the tumblehome and wall design of this ship. I am curious though do the walls hold the top deck up or are you planning on putting supports between the decks along with the walls? Would love to see this technique in real life!

Thanks, everyone, for the praise and comments. I've started construction, and I have a few more pics to share:

Posted Image
I've increased the hull length, and thus the amount of guns :) The starboard side is resting on the prow and stern (I'm still acquiring brown brick for the sides), and the gray pieces will be replaced by black and white.

Posted Image
View of the stern. The rudder isn't shipped yet but the chains are visible.

@Flying Dutchman: you're right, the more I work on her the more she looks like an American frigate like the essex (I've been using the hulls of constitution and constellation for reference). I still haven't decided on her nationality...US or Brit? Hmm...

More pics here.
