Royal Louis by umeckt - 1/72 scale

[umeckt]

hello to all. this is my build log of the royal Louis. I had the frames laser cut out and scaled to 1/72 scale from the plans of 1/90. a company in pennsylvania  did the work from plans I sent him. I have started to build her and am working on the1st  planking of the hull. the frames and the decks are in place. the deck planking is maple with a cote of clear on them. so far no problems with anything. made my own holders for the false guns. cutting out the gun ports using a scroll saw blade. will post pictures hopefully this weekend if I can figure it out. terry

Terry,

 

Have a look here:  http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/540-how-to-add-pictures-in-your-posts-and-pms/  In that same sub-forum are quite a few pinned topics to help you with MSW.

Very nice, I will be following this one. 

BTW a mod might like to move this thread from "scratch build" to the kit forum.

Very very Impressive. She is going to be a monster. What will it measure when complete?

Wow... that looks incredible... I'm also building a Royal Louis, but in a smaller scale. I'll keep looking at yours for reference and details!
