Michael,

Beautiful ship! I'm going to be starting my own La Couronne build after the first of the new year and have been greatly inspired by your work. Very clean and great attention to detail. Makes me excited to start my build. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Michael, are you still on your build, it's amazing! I'm doing the same one and could do with advice if you wouldn't mind

 

Do you use the lime wood strips for the first planking or is it 2 layers of walnut?

 

Sorry to trouble you

 

Best regards

Just ran across this thread from a link on Pinterest, and so glad I did. Wonderful build! Just the kind of model I'd love to build, but probably couldn't. Great work!

My compliments to Majq for making such a clean and elegant model of La Couronne as designed by Vincenzo Lusci by way of the Mantua kit.  Splendid work!

 

Rraisley, if you are interested in another build of La Couronne, my build log is a heavily modified version of the Corel model for that vessel, located here:  La Couronne Build

I have a specific interest in early 17th century men of war, and am currently working on HMS Sovereign of the Seas.  Let me know if you need specific help with a La Couronne build, particularly with the rigging and sails.  Best wishes!
