Heller Royal Louis 1/200th.

 I picked this up off ebay for about $23.00 bucks. It's the special edition that comes with paints, brushes, and glue. The only real problem that I have with this is that the manual is all in french. No big deal I'll just have to have some of it translated as I need to. Plus they probably only come in french and I don't know any better Dunce [D)]. Also the person that owned this before me must have smoked like a chimney because the box just smells. I had to leave it in my garage overnight to let it air out. But I'm very happy with this find.

I built this about ten years ago, and with care, can be a fun ship!  Yes, there are some scaling problems with the wales, etc, but overall, it is an interesting subject, and a good one to pair with a similarly scaled HMS Victory (closest I could come up with was a 1/180 though....)
