Very well done Christian, but keep up modelling please!
French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Greetings to alL my friends modellers ! 
Hi Christian!
. . . no construction kit, no workshop with lathe or milling machine with xyz axis and except for the gun barrels and the name plate no prefabricated parts. I have only seen clamps, a fretsaw an Proxxon hand drill and an assembly table. It was a pleasure to follow your build report from blueprint to model and congratulations on your finished magnificent model. . .
. . . and maybe you itch in the fingers, even if only a small model, to build.
Thank you very much for this wonderful journey!
Best regards
Thomas

Very well done my friend. I hope that perhaps you will find another (short-term) project to entertain you. Do you have anymore pictures you can share?
Hi Donnie,
My four other published galleries counted also only twelve pictures each (I forgot the process to do that)
I think it's right sufficient
Regards,
Chris

I enjoyed following along. Congratulations on creating a beautiful ship model.
As we had ten minutes of a beautiful rising sun today, I send you this small photographic bonus :
Thanks, Giampy 
I used the same guns on Royal Caroline, after one / two years, they were like an old brass
Historic truth : low battery in brass, others in iron, but I didn't like missed painted guns

The color test of low battery I've disqualified :
Without coloration :
...And remember of the Royal Caroline (11/2018), before the oxydation of the brass accessories :
...and now, four years later (the decoration had been varnished for protect it), but guns are naturally patined :
The verdigris is a copper carbonate, at sea the bronze is rather covered with copper chloride, which is brownish

Thanks Giampy, you are the first I knew to well understand my option about this deeply existential question 
Also, these giant war ships (except the Saint Philippe) did't keep a very long operational life, between enemy fires and other damages...
My model is therefore an all new one, in its shipyard, not painted, with fresh guns

How use a brown patin :
The same result as four years without anything on my Royal Caroline...
