Hi every, I am new to this forum joined a couple of months ago, and I must say it has been an eye opener to see the great talent by the members here.
A bit about myself … I am not really new to the hobby but it has been a long time since I have build a ship. 35 years ago I built a pair of...
Hola compañeros aqui os muestro el ultimo barco que he terminado ,espero que os guste ,no se si este es el foro donde tengo que poner los trabajos,si no es asi decirme donde tengo que ponerlos,muchas gracias
so I am not going to start with a grand box unveil, suffice to say everything that was supposed to be sent has arrived.
having previously only built Caldercraft kits I feel a little bereft at the lack of instructions. three AO sheets and a dvd. ive printed the dvd pages and am none the wiser so...
Hello, just started to build this amazing vessel in scale 1:70. DeA's kit is very well done, qualitiy materials and decorations, but it is a kit and this time I want to go beyond and build a model that when I'll look at it I can say I couldn't make it better than that.
Some pics of deks not yet...
just thought i'd post a minimal build log to show what the heller soleil looks like with a more feasible hull....managed to build a wooden hull from plans provided by neko in model ship world....and painfully matched the plastic forms to the wooden hull......
Hi All
I was determined not to buy any more kits as I have enough projects and pastimes to keep me going beyond retirement. However this release changed all that, I simply HAD to build it. Not because it is an amazing model straight out of the box but more a case that I realised the potential...
I am building Le Soleil Royal (ZHL) for my daughter. She loves the bling, and this ship sure has it. It will sit on her huge mantel above her fireplace. I'm looking forward to the challenge. The details of the pdf on the accompanying CD are amazing compared to the instructions I received for my...
Yes that’s right, its another ZHL Soleil Royal Build Log!
Hi all, and welcome to my first build log here on SOS.
Time for a little backstory.
I’m primarily a plastic model builder, more specifically a sci-fi model builder but I bought the ZHL Black Pearl early last year to add to my stash of...
Welp, I received the Soleil Royal from ZHL today. It took 8 days from shipping date, pretty good I think. Thought I would go ahead and start a build log and show the packaging. Still need to do an inventory of the parts. Won’t start working on it till I finish the Black Pearl though.
The last two ships I did were the Mantua Victory and the Panart San Felipe, and the next one in the pipeline was the Mantua Sergal Soleil Royal.
Although the Soleil Royal would present a challenge in terms of complexity, it wasn’t going to be substantively different than the previous two big...
My shipment of the ZHL Soleil Royal arrived at 9:30 this morning via FedEx.
After scrupulously disinfecting the heavy (22 lbs) box - here is what I found inside:
More to come.
Hi Guys,
thanks for accepting me into the group. Looking forward to learn a lot of new stuff. Especially about wooden boats building. Till this day I only built plastic ones.
I built Pirate ship from Revell 1/72, HMS Victory from Revell and few other in smaller scales.
Today I would like to...
This ship has been under construction for 9 months, it from DeAgostini. I like the instructions, very through for an idiot like me, but still made mistakes. This has been the progress. Has been a learning experience.
Здравствуйте уважаемые коллеги!
Я решил поделиться с вами, уважаемыми коллегами по увлечению. Возможно, это будет интересно и полезно.

Dear colleagues!
I decided to share with you, dear fellow hobbyists. Perhaps it will be interesting and useful.
De Agostini Soleil Royal
This ship is a model kit that was supplied, on the Italian market, by De Agostini starting from the beginning of 2010 and lasting after 140 weeks . . .
Each issue contains some pieces to build the model, while the booklet contains two different sections: the most...
Since the level of detail a person may add and the availability and amount of research a person may chose to perform will vary with each modeler, the times I show are related to the actual work performed on the vessel. Each person’s ability to read and interpret plans can vary a great detail...
