umeckt Posted May 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited June 1, 2016 by umeckt mtaylor, edmay, fmartins and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_W Posted May 30, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2016 Very nice, I will be following this one. BTW a mod might like to move this thread from "scratch build" to the kit forum. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donrobinson Posted June 1, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 1, 2016 Very very Impressive. She is going to be a monster.

fmartins Posted January 7, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2017 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! mtaylor 1 Quote ---- Currently scratch building (wood, plastic and lots of other materials) a Royal Louis http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/15003-royal-louis-by-fmartins-multi-media/ ... let's see if it survives my poor hands...
