    Hello! I have a question Does anyone know what these equipment are called and what they are used for? These pieces of equipment are also available on the port side. Thanks

    Van de Velde shows the last middle deck gun port of the French Reine with a standard gunport lid. The contemporary model of HMS Prince from 1670 had at that place a vertically divided lid. The latter would better adapt to the shape of the side gallery on the Fulminant. This would also cover the inharmonious and deep cut into the side gallery.

    The Louvre has all 3 views of the Prompt. Here is the link to the sidegallery, and the Bow It's great that there is a plan for this ship as it was built and the decoration as planned. This gives good insight into the final execution.

    Hi! Version B gives the correct distance between the gun ports and fits into the "fake window!

    I am pleased that the two ladies can now tell each other the latest gossip🛍️ face to face. As a decorative figure, without small talk, otherwise pretty boring. And the horses' necks look healthier too.😄

    Hello Marc, As always, your model is making great progress. Here is a link to a well-known image of a French first rate. The information about the print is particularly interesting here.

    I am pleased that the Sankt Georg is continuing here. The reconstruction looks very convincing. A cardboard model of the ship would be nice.

    Hi Guy, The error was with the NMM page, the plan was displayed under the wrong name. This kind of thing happens. I found Admiral's Paris Plan Collection on Wayback. See 0041 Goélette américaine la MUSQUIDOBIT It should now work smoothly.
  9. Chapman
    Hi Treebeard! I like this schooner, Musquidobit is a good choice. I don't want to cause any confusion but this link shows the HMS Orestes ex dutch By the way, in the plan collection from Admiral Paris (online) you can also find a plan of the Musquidobit including a sail plan. Unfortunately I don't have a direct link anymore, but I have the plan if necessary.

    Great idea, have fun!

    Pentart solvent-based bitumen/patina might also be something for you.

    Hi Marc! I rarely check in here these days, but I'm still interested and fascinated by what I see here. If oil paints then Griffin Alkyd by Winsor & Newton. These dry quickly.
  13. Chapman
    Wonderful ! Εκπληκτικός ! Thank you for showing . How did you make the deck?
  14. Chapman
    Hi Marc! Have we already talked about the model of the Royal Louis in the Poogi Museum here? I had found an older article about the old Poggi models in the German magazine Das Logbuch. Among the models is said to be a Royal Louis, which of the first two has not been clarified.
  15. Chapman
    The PDF inspires you so much that you immediately want to build a ship from the 17th century. Thanks for that !
  16. Chapman
    Hello! The kit comes from Korabel, see Korabel , and is available.
  17. Chapman
    Hi! A new book entitled French Warships in the Age of Steam 1859–1914 by Winfield will be published soon. That could bring new insights.
  18. Chapman
    I forgot, one more point that might be interesting. According to Patrick Villiers, this figure is part of the Atlas de Colbert from about 1670.
  19. Chapman
    Hi there , nice to look at as always. This link should be of interest to you. It leads to high-resolution files of the rear and rear side view of the Dauphin Royal by Le Brun. Have Fun!

    Moin Waldemar! The term Iron refers to the gun barrel. At the time, a decision was made between iron and bronze guns, the latter being referred to as "metal" guns.

    Hello, this model of a Norman Nef in the Deutsches Museum in Munich was built by Zimmermann after his own reconstruction. https://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Deutsches_Museum_Muenchen/Norman-nef.htm
  22. Chapman
    Hello Steven, interesting project, I like to watch it. By the way, there is a German reconstruction of the Nef Cinque ports. I have them on the shelf. I'm looking forward to your reconstruction.
  23. Chapman
    Here are two contemporary representations of artists who knew the ships. Left: Grand Monarque by Puget Right: Reine by van de Velde
  24. Chapman
    Another piece of art fits in like a cast. Berain would be delighted!
