Small update...
2nd deck is now fixed in place. Now rigging Cannons slightly differently as to lower deck, I would have liked to have used 2mm blocks but these were just too big and out of scale regards to the Eyepin positions I had to fix on deck rather than the Hull sides which wasn't possible due to it being thin Plastic, if this was a wood kit it wouldn't have been a problem.
I have also 3/4 painted the Bow bulkhead and have fully painted and weathered the Figurehead.
При принятии решения о цветовых схемах было немного много времени, и все детали, отлитые в разные цвета, не помогают в завершении работы с тем же оттенком, что и другие части корабля, отлитые в другой цвет, поскольку основа может повлиять на конечный результат.

Я думаю, что также я заменю все мачты и дворы деревом, это будет большое предприятие само по себе.

Interesting style, good execution and a great announcement of 3D technology and wood. I will also soon post details that I modeled and printed and how I integrate them into a wooden ship.

I am humbled by your kind words my friend, I am by no means so expert, I just do what I do in a way that I feel executes the model to a standard I am happy with.
Everyone to their own, its all about the love of modelling and trying to finish off to a standard you are happy with, it's not a competition or a race but what each individual is happy with within their builds.
Have a great time building her to your standard and enjoy every minute.

Rob :)
 
All the Lower ratlines are now complete from the Spritsail, Foremast, Main and Mizzen mast, with 942 clove hitches being tied in the process.
Now moving on to rig the deadeyes/shrouds for Top masts of the Fore, Main & Mizzen.

Just rigging up the deadeyes for the Fore topmost Shrouds in my usual unorthodox way. The modelling wire on the lower deadeye will go through the hole on the crowsnest then I will bend it up into a loop, where I can then tie the Futtock Shrouds from, this is the same way I rigged the futtock Shrouds on my Occre Endeavour build.
The pic below is for information only as to what I mean, not taken from my Endeavour build.

I would just like to Wish everyone a happy New year and all the best of Health and happiness for you and your families in 2025 and a big thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support you gave me last year.
Slainte Mhath!

Hello dear Rob,

my SOLEIL ROYAL is becoming a SAINT PHILIPPE 1693 by J. C. Lamineur rebuild:

SAINT PHILIPPE 1693 based on the Heller SR 1:92

Hello, as some of you may know I still have a smaller SAINT PHILIPPE 1693 project and I started his two years ago motivated by the statement of Hubac's Historian (not word by word) "the best you can do to the Heller kit is to rebuild it as a SP based on the Ancre set of plans". So I reprinted...
shipsofscale.com

...and is on hold recently until the JACINTHE's project is ready. Then there are a plenty of other projects of ships and boats that do wait - but she is in the glass show case:
