Soleil Royal 1669

Hi, Nekoo,
Your carving look perfectly done! What type of wood you use for carving? Good luck!

Vladimir.

Thank you for good appreciation of my work. For carving I use european boxwood.

Hi, Mark!
Excellent decor and very accurate. For such a small scale too well.
Without glasses I can not see ...
I represent the volume of work to be done!
congratulations
Alex

Thank you Alex!
I have not post for a while because I had so much other things to do these past months, but during this time I reconsidered my project, I changed my mind about the decorations. Indeed, I think the model of Tanneron (the one in the naval museum of Paris) is not reliable and I drawn the plans one more time in accordance with the original drawings of Jean Berain. I will destroy some parts of what is already built, but the final result will be much better I think.
Here are the new drawings:

Hi Mark!
Great job. I have always believed that the historical museum specimens can not be an absolute standard of historical accuracy. Moreover, we probably will never know what really happened. So courageous, successful reconstruction is always welcome. With the decision should not be any doubt. All the more so from the point of view of quantum physics, all authors reconstructions are always right.
However, in my opinion your most successful reconstruction.

Finally I can add a few more pictures of my model. Nothing really new, because as you know I had to rebuilt totally the ship according to the new drawings. I think these new plans are much better but I rely on your comments if you find something is wrong with the construction.

Hi Mark!
Very, very good news. Magnificent ship. I quite like your work. I suspect that your method of making "draft" designs like my composite technology.
Division gratitude for the documentation. Hopefully in the future will create a set of drawings for this ship.
Alex

Thank you Alex, kind words from a master!!
Your composite technology is much more evolved than my "balsa method", but they are quite similar on the principle so I bought the DVD you released with Dr Mike and Sasha so I can have more informations about the russian way of doing thing and try to do as well.
