Le Soleil Royal ZHL Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Vfordyce]

Huge congratulations, Vic! Your model beams with bright colors, contrasting rigging, and detail. Beautiful ship!

Thanks, Kurt! It’s all about the bling bling on this one.

Excellent work Vic. I am going to miss your posts on the SR. It’s like finishing a great book you’re reading but now I look forward to your next build.

Thanks, Jay. It’s been a journey. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress on your work. I’ll be starting back on my Galilee Boat when I get home to Texas. Then another Galilee boat for another pastor friend who is also a sailor. Then a Connie for another friend. And finally a Robert E Lee for me. I’ve already got the Galilee boat started.

A positive note on the Galilee boat, I am guessing, no guns?

Yeah, replacing them with fishing nets and baskets. Turning swords into plowshares.

Here are the final pictures. Tomorrow, I start back up on the Galilee Boat.

Congratulations Vic. A glorious accomplishment. A labor of love really, as you share your work so generously with your daughter. And if I could say this without causing offence - you have really grown as a modeller over the past several years. It's really exciting to see you excel!

Absolutely beautiful build Vic, that is one stunning model. Congratulations on such an excellent achievement.

 

[Vfordyce]

Thanks for the likes, guys! I have truly learned a lot while building the last three models. I’m one who has to learn from experience. You guys have helped me along the way. Hopefully I can apply what I’ve learned on the next ones.

This is definitely a great achievement! Bravo, Vic. Apart from that, you finished her, she turned out a very good-looking model. I am sure, your daughter will appreciate this handcrafted model made dedicatedly for her, and the model will find a fine place to decorate the room. Congrats!

That is one beautiful build you have there. Looks like a good thread to spend the weekend reviewing. Great job Vic!

Beautiful, simply beautiful!
Amongst the enormous wealth of details, I noted that the diameters of your ropes are like "spot on".

Vic, great job. Congratulations on the completion. Your daughter can be proud of such a father. With flags a little tricky, but this is for the future

Breath-taking, beautiful work and a little intimidating. Congrats on finishing this magnificent model. Cheers to you and daughter.
