Hello Allan,

I have tried three times to order that book from them.

All three times failed, due to an issue with their payment modul.

I have written to them, but didn't get an answer- yet.

They may be out of business due to the pandemic?

Thanks for the advice

Best regards

Jean-Philippe

Hi Allan,

Thank you very much for your advice.

I have just ordered the booklet about sailmaking from Seawatch Books.

I have all 4 Boudriot books about the 74 gunship, but i think that

the chapter on sailmaking is very small and there are few drawings.

Once again, Thanks !

Best regards

Jean-Philippe

Hi Thomas Dziadeczek

If you could find her contact, I will be very grateful

Best regards

Jean-Philippe

Yes, I have tried before and used tons of time to make them.

But they were not good enough for the ship model I worked on (Victory)

So, I think to order them from somebody who is good at it

Hello, I am building a shipmodel " Le Superbe" of the 74 gunship from Mantua in scale 1:75

I have made several modelships before and used a contact in Eastern Europa (Radek) for

making the set of sails needed for the models.

Now, the contact is not responding anymore, therefore I am looking for a expert

in sail making for modelships.

Do you know anybody making those kind of sails?

Best regards

Jean-Philippe Simon

Thank you Wefaclk for your advices.

I will then build a crate for the ship, a box in a box. So I can secure it with straps.

Best regards

Jean-Philippe

Thank you all for your input on that matter.

I think the best and cheapest way will be to take a road trip to France

with the beast well packed on the back seat of the car.

And I will get to see my dad at the same time, Win-Win situation

Have a nice day !

Greetings

Hello fellow modellers,

I have built a model of the frigat L´Hermione for my father.

I live in Denmark and he lives in France.

My question is:

How to transport safely and securely a shipmodel over a long distance?

any ideas?

Packaging?

Thanks for your input

Best regards

Best regards

Hi Guys !

I have, finally, found a former captain from the Seabourn ship on Facebook.

He agreed to send me some plans from the ship, and i just received them.

It looks like the one Tom found on the net, but they are more precise with the correct dimensions.

Thank you very much all of you for your help

Best regards

Hi Rob and Mark,

I have been crawling the net..again..and wrote to the shipyard.

But just found out at they went out of business in 2009.

So, as you suggest, I will have to deduce the form of the hull.

For the decks, a precise interpretation of the pictures from the net is also the only

way forward.

Such a pitty, not to be able to find some documentation of this beautiful ship

I will try to make some drawings of my build, so other model maker can use them.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hope you guys are not freezing in the US

Philippe

Hi guys,

Thanks for your first input. 

The total length has to be between 60 to 80cm.

I have been on the internet to find plans of the ship, without luck so far, Not even Taubman has it!

The german dockyard only build to of these ships, Seabourn Pride and Seabourn Spirit. Identical sisterships.

I have contacted Seabourn, but they are not willing to sell og show me their blueprints. The dockyard is out of business...

I am thinking building her with planks on bulkheads.

Actually, a great help could be to find a plan for a cruise line bulkheads in the same type as the Seabourn Spirit.

Have a good weekend !

Keep on the good work. I will be following your work with interest. Have a nice friday. Best regards.Philippe

Hello !

I usually build old ships,like the Victory.

My older brother and his wife has worked on the MS Seabourn star (former Royal Viking Queen) and

he would like me to build him a model of this beautiful cruise ship.

I don´t know how to approach this challenge....

What material I should use, and how to use plastic.

Does anybody has experience with this kind of build?

If you have any photos, ship plan, advice. Please do write me

Thank you in advance !!

Best regards

Philippe

Hello Frankie,

Great looking sails!

I am about to decide whatever to put sails on my 1:98 Mantua Victory Kit.

I cannot find anywhere  a sail plan withe the correct measures....

I Have the Longridge book and others books about Victory, but they do not

come with more precisions about how to make the sails and what dimensions to use.

Do you have any clue where to find them? Maybe you do have those dimensions already ?

Best regards

Philippe

Great job on your VICTORY!

One question: The carronnades are facing the front of the ship.

Aren´t they supposed to face both sides?

Superbe painting work by the way

Best regards

Philippe

Hello shipmates!

Here is some pictures of the current status of my built.

I am working now on the mast and the rigging.

Scratch building as I don't have anything from the original kit.

I think that 80% of my ship is now scratch built.

There's a few missing on the deck and the cannons hatch are not fastened yet,

Bur this is to give me some space while I work with all these ropes and wires.

Enjoy

Great pictures of your fabulous Victory

Hi Jerry

Thanks a lot for your drawings!

I will try to make them tomorrow.

Best regards

Philippe

Hello Phillipe..

 

Thank you for visiting my log and especially for your very complimentary words.  Yes, I do have the instructions and the plans for building the ship's wheel and the Binnacle.  If you are building the kit, the insructions are in the Hull Construction manual, page 27, 3rd and 4th paragraph.  The plans for both are on Plan sheet 4.  Please let me know what your status is. If you are not building the kit I will do my best to get you the information.

Have a happy day,

Jerry

Hi Commander!

No, i don't have any plan or drawing of those two item (binnacle and ship whell.

I am not making a real kit, as I bought some rests from an old kit, and am working mainly as a scratch build.

Bur as I do have a kit plan (real poor one) I try to follow some of the instructions on it.

Unfortunatly, there is nothing at all about those two item.

Hope you can help me

Best regards

Philippe

Great work you are doing on this ship

I am also working on a Victory.

I do have one question: Do you made the ship wheel and binnacle by yourselv 

or was it some parts from a set?

I don´t have them on my set, and still looking for some drawing in order to make them.

Will appreciate your help if you can

Best regards

Philippe
