Soleil Royal 1690 plans

The best modern model I've seen; the underwater hull looks realistic etc. The builder says he used the same sources as for http://forum.aceboard.net/5500-323-27451-0-1669.htm#vb

I think a good way is to use the above plans, have them in scale 1:100, have rubber molds of/ or straightly use the decorations of the Heller kit , use Jean Boudriot's Vaisseau de Tourville for the rigging etc., and you'll end up with a beautiful model!!

WOW!!! Thats a great model. Unfortunately the aceboard link didn't work for me. Wonder what I did wrong? Are the figures all hand carved?

 Copy and paste the link into your browser address bar.

 It is currently only built up to a half hull plank on frame. But the plans are good enough for anyone to start a build at the scale of their choice.

 An here is something neat. No mor handcarving for anyone.
