Ulises Victoria Posted July 14, 2014 #1 Posted July 14, 2014 Why (unless I'm missing something) is it so difficult to find precise rigging information on French First Rate ships of the 18th century era? I've been looking for weeks for information to complement the kit's rigging instructions of my Mamoli Royal Louis 1780, unsuccessfully. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Ulises PD I have some books on rigging: Lennart, Lees, Lever, Anderson, but they are about different nationalities, (English) type of ships (Frigate) or eras (1600-1720). 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!
