French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Do you know many who build a perfectly legible Saint Philip without putty or paint ?
Personally, I know at least one who did

Do you have pictures of such model or are you talking abou yourself?Do you know many who build a perfectly legible Saint Philip without putty or paint ?
Personally, I know at least one who did
It was an humorous thought, but of serious meaning about my own work
Very few model makers have attempted this construction, they rather run away from the apparent difficulty
Thanks for your wishes 
Thanks WojtasS
I recently decided to add rigging about my Saint Philippe. When advanced, I shall send some pics of final look

That is great to hear. Are you going to make balaying points plan? For unknown reasons authors of Saint Phillippe and L'Ambitieux didn't inculde them in monographs
Thanks all for your kindness 
There is only one rigging plan included into 1/48 monograph of Saint Philippe, but nothing into 1/72 one,
This summary elevation is also at 1/96 scale (printer adapted) and not enough detailed (sails hide a lot of useful elements for rigging)
I'm thinking of making it out of sails (it seems impossible to keep it realistic on 1/72 scaled model with sails)
Into reference book there is a chapter about this rather difficult part of built with some useful descriptive boards for sizing at 1/48 scale
Fortunately, the conversion calculations do not scare me

Notice that before 1700 the masts were vertical, so any optimization of the sail center is known for a ship like the Saint Philippe
In fact, it was acceptable for the low speed reached by such very large and deep hull

I'm sorry for that statement. I just got my copy of Saint Philippe plans and there's belaying plan sheet. It's plate nr39.
Sorry for that I blindly repeated someone else's information
My rigging sailed plan at scale 1/96 is N° 45 referenced, and comes from the 1/48 monograph
Two separated sections of print at same scale would be better for each edition, 1/48 or 1/72 - 1/96 was the worst solution
Into 1/72, monograph, there was any rigging draw

I slowly started a simplified rigging of my Saint Philippe :
