Smile-n-Nod Posted April 12, 2021 #1 Posted April 12, 2021 I see many videos and articles online about a ship called Le Fleuron. Why is that ship so popular? What is its significance? Brett D.
amateur Posted April 12, 2021 #2 Posted April 12, 2021 The answer is two-fold: it is an historically interesting ship, and there exists a very good book (and drawings) on the ship. https://ancre.fr/en/monograph/55-monographie-du-fleuron-vaisseau-de-64-canons-1729.html RobinB87 and mtaylor 2
RobinB87 Posted May 24, 2021 #3 Posted May 24, 2021 I think amateur is correct, its also a nice ship to see and it has a big package of different modelling skills. There is a good amount of info to find on the internet, and the author of the monograph is also on a few forums to help where necessary. I think all that info is the reason you see that many online. mtaylor 1 Best regards, Robin. Current build: Le fleuron 1729 scale 1:48 Scratch
mtaylor Posted May 24, 2021 #4 Posted May 24, 2021 The 64-gun ship was used heavily by both the French and the British and many were built on both sides. As models go, there aren't that many models or plans out there for this class. Le Fleuron is a beautiful ship and a great example of the French ships of this class. uss frolick 1 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
