phoscar Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hello, Here is the Heller Chebec with some improvements. I always work on a model more imposing than the others that I put aside from time to time to realize others (which changes my ideas). My sources are: Plan of the Museum of the Marine of Paris, the monograph "the Shark" of the editions Ancre (although this book is more dedicated to the modeling of arsenal) and finally my great friend Google ... Thank you for your attention. Marc 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Congratulations, if you had not said I would not have guessed that's origins were a plastic kit. I checked to see if it was still available and was surprised at the size 1005 x 760mm. Beautiful miniature, one to be proud of. Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUB-SAM Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Impressive build, the rigging is amazing. Surely too good to be displayed on an open shelf ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hello Marc, Considering, this is mostly plastic, you turned it into a museum display piece. The finish and rigging is stunning. "Master Modeler". Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoscar Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Martian, Orion, Be thanked for your comments.

phoscar Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hello, Well, here... As you can see, the model is far from over. I've replaced a lot of things. You will find that I have no gun on the main deck, because, as far as my model, they were firing in the dead eye either in the topside strike. You will notice (I realized too late ...) that my ratlines are much too thick. And plenty of other things yet ... but promised the next will be corrected. Thank you for your encouragement and see you soon. Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi Marc "C'est magnifique !" I'm sorry that is the extent of my French. Please continue to post pictures as you progress. I would suggest you start a new line in ' Work in Progress - Maritime ' Regards Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
