@philippeandrieu5198, your comment is appreciated. The focus was to make it as accurate as possible from the research materials I acquired, along with my my knowledge of ships. To that end I was able to arrive at what you see. I enjoy doing these pieces for the collectors; to make it enjoyable for their eyes.
@laisvunasssdakas377; yes, I found the outcome of this build most rewarding -especially with the sail and rigging detail. It is my hope to actually build a few of these in wood. I've done wood models but only as miniatures. However, to get a Dutch or French vessel with this type of detail would be one of my top achievements as a professional.
A collector might be the revamped Musée National de la Marine in France. 👌 PS: Its correct name might be Grand Saint-Louis (first named Royal, then Amiral) vs the slave ship Saint-Louis. The Grand Saint-Louis was part of Louis XIII 's fleet and reference to that is your image of the Cardinal Richelieu who was in charge of purchasing ships from Holland.
@AgentFascinateur, my extended that's for the recommendation. It's much appreciated. Also, I'm duly in agreement with you. However, I based the title on the modification of the work that was published by Airfix to keep the build authentic to those designers. That's what make this a special work. However, if an opportunity come for a commission to build one in wood, then I will surely endeavor your advice. My glass is raised to you. Thanks!
Just....incredible! What a great job!!!
Superbly done !
Beautiful model- Very impressive.

The detailing on the sails and rigging is amazing. Respect to you.
