Heller 1/75 La Reale De France

Beautiful detail on the larger scale version. Great work.

Lot of detail painting KP. Looking good though.

The 1:1 was 185' long, so in 1:75 scale, that makes it 30" long methinks!!

from Stern to tip of the unicorns nose she is 34 3/4 inches long.
well here is yet another update on this one, yawn.

Hi all another update.

Looks better and better with each update.

Hi all here is where I am at on this now, wont get much more done as on hols soon, Yippee

Wow, it is really becoming a stunning display piece. Keep up the good work.

The French sure loved decorating!  Cruise ships of today could take a few cues from the gold leaf everywhere.  At almost 3 feet, it will be a centerpiece of any collection.

Hi all well here it is last build post on this before we are on hols


















just one question, the rigging thread which\that(dont know the correct word) comes with the kit is off white, is that right, as the only rigging colour I've seen is black ( or at least it looks black) I thought they used tarred rope so that would make it black.

Good Question on the Rope. I would think it was fiber maybe hemp. Build is really a keeper nice work.

Beautiful work KP, very impressive model.

Hi all back on this one too.

Gets more impressive with every update. STUNNING !

I agree Clay. Those cannons look so ornate not sure I would want o fire one off.

Hi all here is tonights little bit

This is a stunning build that gets better with each update.

Hi all I feel I'm getting there now (although this is the point at which it may get shelved (really not looking forward to the rigging) ) I'm sure you must all be getting bored of this by now.

We don't get BORED watching a great and well detailed build come together Keep up the great work

Ditto what John said.

Well I've done a bit on the rigging no pics as you wouldn't even notice what I've done, the instructions are so complex (even though I have English versions (I think that may even make it worse)) I have an idea I've gone as far as I want with this one. 

Hi all well I know some of you more used to rigging would probably have this much work don in ten mins but this represents several hours and lots of hair pulling and certain words of a not particularily pleasant nature.

It might be a struggle but it is well worth it. Looks great.

Man that's allot of rigging!

Nice work on the rigging,....along with everything else!
Spectacular model !!!
