Soleil Royal by Heller - an Extensive Modification and Partial Scratch-Build by Hubac’s Historian

[WojtasS]

Thinking back to WojtasS’s question about what to model next, I remembered this model of a hoy that exists in the NMM colkections:

This is such a lovely little ship. I may be wrong, but doesn’t this exist in kit form from some manufacturer?

Looks like a fun little ship to make. It's just a matter do you want that exact model or only type of vessel. From what I see those from Paul's link is different

Passenger/cargo vessel (circa 1800); Service vessel; Hoy; Trinity House | Royal Museums Greenwich

I do, however like the particular sheer and half oval ports of the NMM model. Anyway, food for thought.

And, yes Chris, I am a fan of L’Amarant. There’s a beautiful German build from the monograph, out on the web.
