Daniel Caramagno got a reaction from John Ott in Soleil Royal 1693 by John Ott - Heller - 1:100 - PLASTIC
I am late to this thread. I have the SR kit in shrink wrap still. Knowing the issues I was not sure what I wanted to do with the kit. You work showed me the way I should go if I ever start. As you said, I always suspected the model was based on the last SR of Louis XIV.
One thing I noticed regarding the waterline. The Malaga scroll shows the ship sitting deeper in the water than the Tanneron model suggests. The lower gunports are closer to the waterline. If I recall correctly, the SRII was a modification of a smaller rate (80?) under construction. As a result, could she be like the Wasa? Revised per kings orders so she sat deeper than intended? Maybe Tanneron got the hull design right?

What are the ship carvings made from. Are they carved wood or do you sculpt them using Fimas, Sculpy, or a similar plastic clay product?

I see your demonstrating at Joint Clubs in New London. Unfortunately I am not going! I am in the New Jersey Ship Model Society. What club are you? I hate to miss your demonstration as I have a model still sitting in its box at home! Wish we could meet.

Did you order this book? I actually think it is a reprint. It may be more appropriate for you as it covers the 3 deckers prior to 1693.

Have you bought and received the Monograph of the Saint Philippe from France? I haven’t sold my kit of the Soleil Royale yet, and I am thinking of getting this book and taking a crack at it. Albeit with a focus on the second Soleil Royal, which is more in line with what this book probably covers.

Enjoyed reading your build. I have the kit in my pile still in shrink wrap. Based on what you have uncovered, it likely represents the second Soleil Royale and needs a lot of modification to make the first one. I love the kit and, for a plastic kit, is well put together. However, after reading your build log I may ebay it as it is not worth the effort to me.
Good luck on yours.

Your decorations, are they carved from wood, or are they made from plastic clay?

Daniel Caramagno got a reaction from Canute in Cyanoacrylate (CA) Glue for Rigging
I have used cyano on models but never had good luck with it on rigging. Too stiff and brittle. I always use white glue or diluted Matt medium which s essentially diluted white glue.
Don't recommend cyano for rigging at all.
