Hello
You have built not only an exceptional model, but also a unique and magnificent Soleil Royal. Many congratulations. I've been watching your build log on another forum, the organised and presented history of the vessel is a gem of it's own. KUDOS

Soleil Royal 1693 by John Ott - FINISHED - Heller - 1:100 - PLASTIC

I guess we’ll find out if this forum has the patience for another Heller 1/100 Soleil Royal build log. This one will be focusing on changes, mods, upgrades, additions, styrene-bashing, and general mess-making in pursuit of something just a little different from the boxtop. Hello modelers—my name ...

John, I didn’t realize you were also on this forum, or perhaps I’ve forgotten that. Well, I’ve been singing the praises of this model, both here and there, so I will simply say CONGRATULATIONS on what is truly an epic achievement.
