Hello!
Recently I made model of the galleon ship for my personal project- I have plan to make pirate graphic novel in realistic, cinematic style 
The hardest thing to solve for me was ropes, I believe I spend around 2 days studying how it works in real ships (and they are still not accurate).
Whole stuff was made in Blender (modeling, texturing and rendering) and took aroud 7 days, 6h per day (including research)
Hope you like it!

This is actually super cool!
Sure looks realistic…the lighting work is done just perfectly. Love the presentation

Most impressive work. About the only thing which gives it away as CG might be the windows in the quarter gallery.
Will be interesting to see what else you come up with (in the context of that graphic novel).
greetings, Kologe

Thank you! I’ll be honest here- windows are just basic plane with 100% metalic setting Later, I will do some touches to make it more realistic 
Fantastic work! The time spent studying the rope layout really paid off.

Impressive model! I’m not sure I’ve never heard of a realistic 3D rendered graphic novel before. Sounds like an ambitious project. All the best!

42 hours work, that’s insane! It would take me ten times longer (and still not look this good). Awesome job.

Thank you all! Glad to hear that you like it!
@Bullit @RickyWinterborn I’m not sure if I understand correctly but there was nothing special about those planks
I made base shape of the ship:
Later I seperate some good looking surfaces:
Bevel few edges and delete new, tiny polygon:
After that I add solidify modifier:
In other parts of the ship, problematic ones I just made planks one by one (simple plane->extrude with snapping->solidify)
