Welcome back to the wood shop!! Looks like a lovely model. Do you or does anyone following your builds know if there are contemporary plans for Royal Louis 1780 at the Musee National de la Marine in Paris or Musee National de la Marine in Toulon? Thank you.

Hi Allan. I agree it looks like a lovely model, I only hope that I can do it justice. I don’t know anything about this ship other than the introduction in the kit. I usually just build from what is included with a kit rather than historical accuracy and that will be the case for this model, I’ll be treating the build as therapy. Ken

Update on my Axel Thorsen Build

 

[Martin By Eye]

I finished the Cutty Sark, should be doing other things , but i easily get seduced away to this little scratch project, the Amphion. it is colourful and unusual (like me, or so i'm told)
I am fitting the rowing deck to this Swedish royal yacht and this is the first time i have realised where the ship gets her name...Amphion, son of Zeus,was capable of moving stone by the power of his singing and the music of his lyre, and ...here it is! I could literaly fit strings to it and play a few chords.
Surprising.

know if there are contemporary plans for Royal Louis 1780 at the Musee National de la Marine in Paris or Musee National de la Marine in Toulon?

I do not know about either museum, however, there is a figure in Rif Winfield's catalog of French warships that is of the masting and rigging. The key for the figure says that it was taken from Amiral Paris, Souvenirs de Marine. Further, that he used a takeoff of the vessel drawn when it was being dismantled - so not design plans. I checked my reprint (1975) and in vol 1 the masting is #103 The lines are #104. There is the usual three plane view. There are only WL. No buttock lines and no diagonals.
