EJ_L Posted May 26, 2021 #781 Posted May 26, 2021 A huge congratulations on a well built model! I've enjoyed following along on this build and indeed it has been very inspirational to my own RL build. Display her proudly, (once you get that help to mover her to a case) and I look forward to watching your next build! zappto, FrankWouts and md1400cs 3 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

Glenn Houle Posted August 1, 2022 #785 Posted August 1, 2022 Greetings to all. I built the Royal Louis a few years ago. Your workmanship is outstanding once again. I e-mailed someone aways back that I was 14 dummy cannons short to complete this ship and install the gunport doors. Was wondering if I could get them to finish. I know there was a fire a while ago. If anyone could help , that would be great thanks Glenn Quote
Ulises Victoria Posted August 1, 2022 Author #786 Posted August 1, 2022 Hello Glenn. Thanks for your comment. I am sorry I can't help you with purchasing more cannons. I hope somebody else can. I understand some company bought Mamoli's rights of their ships. In a worst case scenario, and what I would do in your case, is leave some random gunports closed. That may give a more "realistic" look at your ship. If you look closely at my version, I left the gunports at a various degrees of open/semi-open position, as well as some completely closed. I think this can be a realistic situation, as I don't think the sailors would care much how far closed or open was each one of the gunports, when at harbor. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!
