Le Soleil Royal by Nek0 - 1/72 - Marc Yeu
CRI-CRI replied to Nek0's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hi, dear specialists of old french ships I were curious to know your opinions on historic restitution of the Saint-Philippe 1693 by Lemineur (Ancre ed.) It seems to me that the monograph shows a sister-ship of the Soleil Royal, which is... an unknown model, a copy of an imaginary vessel 😀 Interesting work, but without any historic pretention Regards, Chris- 208 replies

At scale 1/72, it was impossible to saw so thin holes, and and I have no time, no patience and no tools to do that with wood scissors 😡

Is it the red squarred object ? In that case, there is no hole, it's a false draw glued on the wooden piece...

Hi Bill, No hole for me, could you indicate the detail you mean ? Regards, Chris

Hi Bill, Thanks for your comment My secret (what a great word... 😀) is the choice of significative details, and for that, I use a "general mental picture" of finished model It's not a possible process for a first model, this one is my 6th, so, before this ship, have I learned more alone than in modelism manuals Regards, Chris
