Soleil Royal - ZHL 1/90 Scale by Paulb [COMPLETED BUILD]
QUESTION: Can anyone enlighten me about the parts for the hawser ports? From the pic below you can see the bow where they go. I can't find any reference in the instructions, so I don't know if a part is included or I need to scratch build one.
I guess you means the hawse holes - I think Marc alias @Hubac’s Historian will know best the correct location. He is studying this ship in detail !!!
Soleil Royal by Heller - an Extensive Modification and Partial Scratch-Build by Hubac’s Historian
Hello, Ships of Scale! My name is Marc LaGuardia, and for the past three years, I have been extensively bashing the Heller kit in an effort to transform it into what I believe is her re-fit appearance of 1689. The project exists in its entirely, here at Model Ship World...

Hi Paul.These are decorative panels.You only have one part,the other part is curved.Follows the shape of the cutout in newdigate.In fact, the right part should be slightly curved.All of them need to be reprofiled.And still I advise to make the décor and to insert into the neck of newdigate.The last photo I took.

Hello Mr. Deep,
From your post above - what Soleil Royal model is shown in pictures 3,4,5? The figurehead and trailboard are particularly well done. Where can someone go to see more complete pictures of this model?

Good evening, Paul.This is generally an independent development from scratch,starting with drawings.Unfortunately, the construction has stopped for now.Modeler with the nickname Nail.Here are two parts of his work on the Russian forum http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic9697.html http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic11055start75.html The last entry was in January
Fascinating! Thank you for posting the link.
Mr Deep - thanks for the link!!
I've constructed a frame to build the ladders for the waist:

Everything is fine,but I don't understand why there was such a big difference.Between the forecastle decks,quarter-decks, and side bridges.And the ladders need to be moved back and forth on the contrary.There will still be boats in the middle here.Check out the Museum models.
Vfordyce - I've attached some photos. As you can see the sails are made by Mantua for their Soleil Royal, their published scale is 1/77. I've compared the sails to all of my plans and checked the sail size with the built hull and they all look correct in size and scale. You can judge from the pictures if you want to include them in your build.
Did you order sails separately from Mantua?
With the sail plans?
Here is the link to where I purchased the sails:
