hello all , my wife has just bought me another kit of the soleil royal , she know’s I wasn’t happy with my first effort ,[she love’s it].I have been following davidk’s beautiful build .I started to think how I could make it look different , has anyone got any colour scheme’s from that era , that I could employ , other than the blue and yellow , I did the first one in 6 month’s and it show’s . I won’t be starting this one for a while , I intend to do a lot of research , any help will be appreciated steve…
I myself don’t work on sailing ships,but they are very impressive,so I don’t know,but we have two other forums a little down the page where your question will get more attention.Either the Ships,or the Painting Section would be more appropiate.
There has been a recent discussion in the painting forum on obtaining the ochre color for SoL stripes. I also second the suggestion about the ship forum. Some pretty knowledgable folks there.
