1669 Soleil Royal - ZHL [COMPLETED BUILD]

Hi Vic
That would indeed be a great idea
Le me see if I can find this
Gilbert, I know I saw a model somewhere that had the fleur-de-lis (lys?) painted on the gun port covers, but I can't seem to find it now. I think I've seen lions on the British port covers as well.

Hi Vic
I thought about this and realized that the gun ports will be open, hence the front cover will be hidden.

I think that’s the one! There’s also much more blue on this example.
