Le Soleil Royal ZHL Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Mr.Deep]

I can say this.I did not try to show all the subtleties,all the smallest details on the model of the ship from the box, from the set.There were already a lot of errors in this model, and I fixed some of them.And the scale of the model is too large.This is not a 48 scale, where you can show all the little things,and show them not in a simplified form.It's up to you to decide what your model will look like.There may be different options.You can see just a rope loop on the end of the carriage.The hook of a single block hoist clings to it.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I mean, can you do this on your scale? https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/french-ship-cannons-36pdr-1779.7749/page-3

 

[Mr.Deep]

I want to offer all the builders of the Soleil Royal to see the work of a Polish modeler.Completely self-built, I think.Maybe you can take something into service for yourself.

Thank you Mr.Deep. I totally understand where you are coming from concerning the level of detail. And I sincerely appreciate your encouragement and support.

After looking at this one..... my Soleil Royale looks like tinker toys.

My first fully rigged French gun. I’m just glad it’s under a rooftop and not fully seen. But it was good experience for me to now know how to rig the guns that will be seen.

 

[Jimsky]

Bravo, Vic! Very good work. Please be aware, that it missing very important parts (will be visible thru the opening of the ports) the capsquares to hold the barrel in place. You can make them out of black construction paper.

 

[dockattner]

Bravo Vic! Very nicely done!

 

[Vfordyce]

I will have capsquares for the ones that show. I don’t think these will. And I will probably have to fish the guns in after I close the upper deck and finish planking. Not sure if I can sneak the capsquares in.

One way, you can try, is to glue capsquares to the barrels first, then insert barrels altogether.

That’s a thought!

Do you have a build log?

 

[Vfordyce]

Completed a test to enhance hatches. This one will be covered by a deck.

Nice guns Vic, one day I'll build a first rate ship but the thought of doing all those guns and lids is very off-putting.
Good job keep it up.

Tony, I learned most of what I know on the Pearl.

My wife used to say “nice guns” too, but that was before I got old.

 

[Vfordyce]

Five down the hatch and three to go.

 

[Vfordyce]

Bad news. I just went through about a hundred pictures of hatches and guess what? None of them have eyebolts and rings. All that work… I thought I had seen a hatch cover with them once and thought they looked pretty cool, but I must have been dreaming. All is not lost, though. Now I know how to make them using two eye pins. These will be covered by a deck or life boats anyway. No loss. At this point I’m not envisioning adding them to the three hatches that will show unless I find some evidence they actually existed on real ships of this period.
