It's boating related. You'll enjoy this piece of art.

Created by a Tattooist artist named Jason Stieva.
Took approx. 15 months to complete.

That's bad _ _ _!

No idea on market value but I can guarantee it's not cheap.

Not my cup of tea, but you have to admire the attention to detail. Wonders what its all made of.

[DaleH]

Mine either .... and it looks like it needs to be keel-hauled .... too much crap on her, lol!

[erie skipper]

very cool, many collectors would pay a lot for something like that. Unbelievable how may collectors there are for anything unusual; and they'll pay plenty.

Details are incredible.
Probably some kind of hard wood.
That's not a small model ship. Guessing from the size of the table top I'm guesstimating here and saying the length of the vessel is 5+ foot long and close to 4 foot in height.

I love it!!
Pirates of the Caribbean

That’s what I thought of…Jack Sparrow

[Surfercross]

Pretty cool!

[Gnrphil]

Wow that's cool, I'd hate to dust it though. Reminds me of the opening of black sails.

Now, take that bad boy and 3 D print out 1,000 copies and make a fortune.

Spoken like a true Chinaman. LOL. Is that you Tunnels???. LOL
China has been pulling that crap forever and flooded our industries with garbage that's subpar, doesn't last........You get what you pay for.

I can only guarantee 1 thing here, steal and reproduce that ship design and you'll be getting Cease & Desist Orders. Those artist' will sue you in a nanosecond.

I'm suggesting the artist make the copies and sell them.

[Sans Peur]

Just ask Louis Vuitton about suing for replicas. It doesn't work to well whe. You sue a Chinese company owned by the Chinese government in a Chinese court.

[Riptied]

It's a 1 of a kind which is 1 of the attributes what makes it so valuable. Too much detail for some chinaman to hand carve a replica. Not profitable.

What they WOULD do is possibly carve one and use it as a core for mass cast production.

[Sans Peur]

They don't need to carve it. I have a customer with a movable camera system where they put an object on the stand, the camera moves all around the object and creates a 3D image in the computer with tolerances within .0000001. (They do power generator turbine blades) Load it into a 3D printer and BOOM, they start coming out by the hundreds for next to nothing each.

They have 3D Lazer Printers that print in Titanium and make power generator gas injection nozzles. It is super cool but very tedious to watch.
