La Couronne 1636 ( scratch build ) 1:96

The ship was cca 70 meters long, the crew were cca 630 men.
There were a lot of scepticism about her nautical behaviour because of greatness of the ship, but after her maiden voyage it found out to be excellent / in contrast of Sovereign which nautical behaviour was horrible /
She hasnīt a long career - she went out of service in 1645.

Plans of the ship are free on the net ( I think they are here on this forum too ), I have them in two books at home also. Already exist the book written by Vincenzo Lusci in 70īs, so there is enough informations for building.
There will be some modifications of mine on the ship Now I have almost the based hull completed, but Iīll put all the progress here.

I started - as obviously by frame. The frame was made from crinkly carton ( boxes from milk ) glued across till 5 mm thickness .
I glued the middledeck, and, as you can see, made the lower row of the gundeck. It isnīt on any plan, a lot of progress Iīll do by myself. . I already start to tightening of the hull / frame by many of horizontal ribs.
