In progress- Heller La Sirene 1/150

real or not it still looks like a fun build. so far it's looking great. keep the pictures coming!

i must say that you've been inspiring me lately to quit dragging my butt and get back to work on my Royal Louis....

Nice build!  I'll have to show pictures of my build of the Stella.  Real or not, it, too, is a fun build!

Yup, looks like a very nice build of a very screwy kit!  The designers must have been swilling too much absinthe when they came up with this one!  Ya know, if you lopped off that extra poop deck, and the ridiculous 'turrets' on either side of the bow (what the heck are they supposed to be, bath-houses?), and ditch the figurehead, you might end up with an almost reasonable looking ship!  That said, you are doing the best you can with what you are given....

You see, "if you lopped off that extra poop deck, and the ridiculous 'turrets' on either side of the bow (what the heck are they supposed to be, bath-houses?), and ditch the figurehead", you would end up with Heller Le Phenix exactly! :)

The 'Sirene' is the unfortunate fancy clone of 'Le Phenix', which itself is a very resonable-looking vessel, and is based on a set of drawings (discussed in great depth in a number of posts on this forum).

The build looks very nice indeed

Hi, I bought this model but unfortunately the instructions were not included so been unable to build it. I was wondering if you still have the instructions and could possibly email them to me please?

Kind regards

Dean

Sorry Dean --I do not save instructions anymore-  and these were trashed a couple weeks ago...

Dean,

PM me, I have this kit and instructions, however, I am on vacation so it might be a week of two before I can get them copied and emailed as a PDF.  Also, they are black line drawings on a gray background so I hope they copy ok.  Twelve pages total.
