the Soleil royal is that the old manufactured from OCCRE, Spain -This was my last build -it took 3 years to get all parts. price 900 €, one thick instruction book and another book -architecture naval. then glues extra woos etc so a price about 1200€. To many mistakes in the instructions books and plan of the ship came att the end so Altaya/de Agostini HAS ONE BIG ENEMY. After having it finished less than one Year, I desmanteled the ship.. I have all the Metal pieces- figures, gun ports and other decorations. The ship went to the bin.
The new Soleil Royal -maybe only in Germany -from De Agostine.DE is manufactured from another Spanish company "Artesania Latina "a completely new way to build. I have downloaded the Instruktion manual, of what has been delivered until now:www.deagostini.de/soleilroyal

I've only been at this for one year so a long way to go but really enjoying the trip. Your ships belong in the Prado. Real works of art.

Appreciate the offer of help. I'll keep your information handy and will reach out when I need advice.
 
Thats the spirit, looking forward to the Christmas holidays so I can spend some extra time in my workshop. Now you certainly know you found the right hobby. :)

Always been a hobbyist. If it was hands on I got into it. Scratch built engraved flintlock rifles, stained glass windows, antique clock repair, lots fo fishing stuff like lure making and fly tying. I was the kind of kid that took apart everything I could get my hands on. Last count was 36 different things I dabbled in. Model ship building is right up there in the top 3.

Getting close to finishing the hull. I am considering purchasing the Proxxon Mini Lathe that you bought For tapering the masts and yards. Do you recommend it and did you need to buy any additional accessories?View attachment 200099

It didn't come with any turning tools so I had to buy those. Went to the local Woodcraft store and got a set made for turning pens for $80 bucks. WoodRiver - "Mini" Turning Tool Set, 5 piece. So far that's all I need. I mounted it on a 3/4" piece of ply and it was ready to go. Really like it, might try turning a few other things. Your Pegasus is looking great. Do you have a build log I can follow?
