L'Hermione - frégate de douze française

Recommended Posts

My latest MOC: L'Hermione - frégate de douze française

She took me about 6 months to complete. I am very proud of her and this is my biggest MOC so far. This is also only the second XVIIIth century ship I am building as I was building WW2 Royal Navy ships before.
 
I will give mention to @kurigan for his rigging tutorial which I loved and use in this ship.

Thanks a lot mates!

Wow, looks amazing! Really well made, I'm definitely a fan of the custom hull!

Thanks Thomas. I find the prefab hull bricks to high above the floating line so I prefer to build custom hulls.

Fantastic build! The rigging and sails look great too!

Thanks Jan! Rigging really represents the most work here. As for the sails, it was my first time. I used linen fabric with Krylon Crystal clear coating (https://www.krylon.ca/products/triplethick-crystal-clear-glaze/#). The sails are little bit more stiff than the Lego ones.
