Calling all Heller 1/150 ship of the line fans

Post by PetrOs »

Hello

I have ordered Heller's La Superbe yesterday, and would like to start the thread here, to gather the experiences with this kit and other ones from this line.

I have also initiated the interlibrary loan for "Le vaisseau de 74 canons", all 4 bands.

I would like to replace the gun barrels with brass, could anyone suggest me which size these shall be, and a good source for relatively cheap ones?

Also, would the 15 mm figures be ok for the crew, or are these too big?

You are right! I will be using the 10 or 12 mm figures, would be much more in scale. ;)

I will also tackle the Alanger's Goto Predestinaciya as a "training" model same time.

Builds are located in the Picture Post section of the forum. The "Calling all Ship Fans" section is meant for discussing the real ships with an eye on improving the accuracy/detailing information to help build the models.
