Older Majestic Plank-on-Frame Ships
The Majestic Series of ships are constructed of ash planking on plywood framing supported by an oak, ash or mahogany keel. Majestic Series ship art pieces live up to their namesake. These ships can vary from 24 inches to 60 inches in length, with similar heights, and are more historically representative. Majestic Series models can take many hundreds to thousands of hours to make. It is anticipated that few of the Majestic Series ship models will ever be made in John's remaining lifetime.
New Generation of Majestic Plank-on-Frame Ships
As with the Fantasy Series of ships, Majestic Series ships' rigging designs are now being built with brass rods and tubing. All ships will also now have billowed, heat/chemically treated copper sails. Pictured below is a "new generation" Late 15th Century Carrack.
Display Cases
Smaller Majestic Series ships can come within a oak-framed acrylic plastic display case. For the very largest models, such as the 17th Century Dutch Flute shown on this website (nearly 5' X 5' X 2'), John has determined that a ship model buyer would be best served by a professional cabinet maker for any display case needs.
