FrankWouts Posted June 18, 2021 Share #127 Posted June 18, 2021 Hello again Marc and welcome Julia! Congratulations with your beautiful daughter to you Marc and your wife! Now I feel ashamed I haven't checked your build log for so long and only see this until now. Very understandable you weren't active last months/year, as it takes a lot of responsibility caring for such a new beautiful young life. But I hope by now you have enough sleep again in the night :-). I know I had not the first months with all of my three daughters... Take your time and enjoy!

Nek0 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share #129 Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Thank you very much for your messages ! Julia is growing up and will turn 1 year in a few days, it's been a very busy year between the family and the Covid but I could resume the work on the model a few days ago and I ended the third deck panels. I won't give up ! Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it !

Nek0 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share #137 Posted March 15, 2022 Hello, thank you for your comments ! I'm currently working on the guns so the next update will be in a few weeks I think. I'm not selling/giving my plans yet, I may give them when I have corrected numerous little errors here and there. It has been corrected on the model, and re-drawn partialy but all the corrections on all the plans hasn't been made so currently it's a mess Nonetheless, I just found out that Artesania latina made a Soleil Royal kit, and, in their Youtube add video, they took one of my drawings without asking me if I was ok...

Nek0 Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share #143 Posted March 24, 2022 I confirm that I had very good contact with the Artesania Latina crew and they explained me how they used my drawing without knowing the source. They kindly offered me some tools as a compensation and I would like to publicly thank them for their reaction. I hope to see soon some nice work on their kit on this forum ! javajohn, Bill Morrison, Artesania Latina and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always fascinated by that model (never saw it in real life though) and to me it looked like a real reference (after all, it's displayed in a naval museum). I do not believe that the Tanneron model is "false". It simply does not represent the first SR. It is much closer to the second ship of that name t was built beginning in 1692. In fact, the Tanneron model is also not complete given that he died while the model was under construction. The infamous "hole in the knee of the head" bears testimony to this fact, as does the alleged lack of deck furniture. Look at the Berain paintings and compare the different details of the decorative carvings. Even the quarter galleries are different in shape and detail. Count the gunports: the first ship carried 110 guns while the second carried 104. The third ship is not in consideration as she was an 80-gun ship. I saw the Tanneron model in Paris and was impressed by his attention to detail in other models, It was clear to me that had he been able to finish the model, it would have been fantastic.

Hubac's Historian Posted March 24, 2022 Share #145 Posted March 24, 2022 Overall, Bill, I agree with you that Tanneron’s model is more representative of SR2, however, it seems to me that Tanneron was attempting a composite of SR1 and SR2; the most notable features of 1669/70 are three open stern balconies, and fully open quarter galleries. Stylistically, the shape of the QGs is more directly connected to what the shipyards were producing from the 1690s, onward.

Bill Morrison Posted March 24, 2022 Share #146 Posted March 24, 2022 I agree to a point. It is possible that some features of the older ship were carried over to the new. But, we simply do not know since plans are lacking. It is likewise possible that you are correct since Tanneron was working somewhat blindly as we are. It makes for a fun discussion.

Bill Morrison Posted March 24, 2022 Share #147 Posted March 24, 2022 By the way, I counted the gunports on the Tanneron model. The ship is pierced for 104 guns, not 110. Bill Keith Black, FrankWouts, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubac's Historian Posted March 24, 2022 Share #148 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Agreed. I can only guess at what some of Tanneron’s original sources were. I strongly suspect, though, that SR 1670 was very similar in structure to the Monarque of 1668: Perhaps this is SR, 1670: Or, perhaps this is SR 1670: There is no way of knowing until I can obtain better images of these portraits.

Bill Morrison Posted March 24, 2022 Share #149 Posted March 24, 2022 Marc, I agree most emphatically! It is an interesting point that I found perusing Les Vasseaux de Louis XIV that there seemed to be common features among most ships of the line similar to virtually every model of French naval ships of the period. The drawings in that book are quite explicit about many features common to the war ships of the time. Unfortunately, it is written in French. I do not speak French (to my immense sorrow).

Bill Morrison Posted March 24, 2022 Share #150 Posted March 24, 2022 I'm extraordinarily impressed by CRI_CRI's effort with the Saint Phillipe, which also looks in many ways like SR. He would be an excellent person to talk with. Bill mtaylor, Keith Black, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
