    Actually, they're not much invested in it, I asked them the kit for my last birthday (I think) and I got it(tho we did had delivery issues with mondial relay, us and the seller thought it could take the kit but it didn't). This week end, I did more gun carriages and removed the "LL" on one of the side panels.

    23 years old. By the way, I might keep going on the gun carriages today (lots of them still to do and I'm sure I lost some parts)

    Hello, it's been a while since I haven't showed my advance, sorry for my absence! This month, I assembled the decks, continued working on the gun carriages and tonight worked on the part 11. Someone helped me with the dremel to cut through the hull.

    A bit of news, I'll go back to the gun cariages tomerow. I started working on the america/africa figures provided by heller. I had to remove the molding lines using a knife and sand paper and I glued both figures arms. Had to use pics from tanneron soleil royal and a soleil royal someone from my modelist club did.

    Nice work! I started working on my SR gun cariage for the 3rd battery this afternoon. I like what you did on the beakhead and figurehead (mine will be gold, tho it'll e the mermaid of the original SR with its sun/globe and crown (using parts of the OG figurehead while other are made out of milliput).

    I did the rough scheme of the heller stern façade yesterday and opened all the panels of the second quarter gallery while watching "c'est pas sorcier" on the french ship of the line. This episode showed the hermione under construction(slight audio issue on sabine parts for some reason, but not jamy)

    Yesterday, I started making plans o the stern façade. Both will be rough schemes. One showing the original heller part, the other the modifyed part. I started opening the 2nd quarter gallery too while watching the french show "c'est pas sorcier" on the belem This episode:

    Coming back to the thread, always like seeing the carving work and stern colors. I'll base my windows on the "chambre de volontaires" drawing in guy M document, and I started making plans for the stern façade (rough scheme to know where I start from and another one showing the modification I need to do).

    This weekend, I worked essentially on the quarter gallery (part 17), opening it. It wasn't so hard and I didn't cut myself yet. Currently going through Guy M 104 pages document on the ship, the books "floating baroque" and "Les vaisseaux de 1er range, de louis XIII à louis XIV", both being quite itneresting and isntructive with isnpiration for my SR.

    After a little absence, here's an update on the SR. I started working on the kit injection pins (there are a lot) at a meeting of the modelism club I'm in and tonight I started cutting the panels of one of the quarter galleries using a xacto knife (didn't cut myself yet). I think I can use that for the 3rd battery gunport to correct their angle without having to use another part.

    Patrick Villiers book arrived. I started reading it, it's quite interesting, I learn more on the french/english and dutch navies, on the 17th century and french navy history and a lot of inspiration for my soleil royal. The kit arrived today. The box is huge. Some part broke off their sprues but they still seem to be in their bag so it's good, the façade has a small crack, but not a problem since I plan to modfy it. The sails are a bit disformed, the strings a bit tangled and the notice didn't liked the transport(at least the cover).

    Nice! I think I'll add the bolt in mine too

    Floating baroque arrived today. I'm still waiting for my soleil royal kit who got sent back to the seller by mondial relay, we don't know why. My parents got me patrick villier book on the french navy and saint phillipe, it'll have inspirations for the soleil royal too Floating baroque has a pic of hans bosma soleil royal who seem to be the heller kit, he managed to have a verry good looking model, even if he kept the box stern fassade and quarter galleries, so despite its innacuracies, you can make something good from the box with the kit.

    My parents got me floating baroque this morning, now I got paper documentation for the stern

    Even with the column alignment issue, the stern you did still look verry good and the colors are vibrant. On the balcony, I plan to keep what heller originally did and enlarge them so they'd fit the new breadth, the 4th season figures will remain the same. If one increase the rear breadth, is it obligatiory to do the same with the bow? I've seen you did that on your.
