soleil royal

This ship has already appeared in one thread, but as a mention. Thank you so much for noticing and appreciating my father's work. Today I want to present a more detailed description of this masterpiece, made by the hands of my father. This entry is a translation of my original article. If you...

Hi all , my first ship and naturally my first build log. Not everything has gone perfectly but I'm not scared to pull things apart and do them properly. (There have been several instances already) I don't have a lot of photos from early in the build as I never really planned on sharing the...

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...

My discovery of this site is a little late. Im 37 and just now discovered shipbuilding as a passion that came out of left field. I’m partway through my second build, the first being the Golden Hind. I welcome any comments or suggestions that will further my knowledge of sailing ships. Here...

Hello, I don't have the kit (or material to modify it) yet, but since it's confirmed, I'm preparing the thread. My plan is to do my interpretation of the initial SR using the heller kit by modifying it quite a bit. The modification are based on the multiple thread/document I found while doing...

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......

So, on this log I am in the very early process of modifying and building the ship as close as possible to what it would have looked like in the spring of 1671 when the ship was to make its maiden voyage along with 4 others for the king's visit at the new Rochefort shipyard, which he cancelled...

A few weeks ago I fractured my hip and had to get a new ball joint. So, I am not moving too well and want to start building my Mantua Soleil Royale kit. My workshop is in the basement and that is out for now, but I have made a temporary work area upstairs for another reason before I broke my hip...

Hi everyone in my first building log! :) At the moment I'm working on DeAgostini Soleil Royal kit and OcCres Golden Hind - I guess I will start another thread on that one in the future. I started my work at the end of 2019. I had an idea to do the interiors, but unfortunately the design flaws...

Hello all, I would like to share my works on the Heller Soleil Royal. I’m building this for several time now, after some time I get tired and need a break! Last stoppage was back in April 2020, I resumed it now in August 2021. I correct some very well know aspects of the kit that were...

I am starting today a build of the Soleil Royal based on the ZHL kit. For information, below the details in terms of pricing and shipment. I have ordered the kit on October 27th and have received the box today November 9th. This means a total of 13 days from order to delivery, which is pretty...

Hello, Ships of Scale! My name is Marc LaGuardia, and for the past three years, I have been extensively bashing the Heller kit in an effort to transform it into what I believe is her re-fit appearance of 1689. The project exists in its entirely, here at Model Ship World...

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...
