  1. Love your work. Not sure if this has been asked before but where did you get the figures from? Are there 1/32 or 1/35 figures similar to these available? Myself, I would leave the bases off the figures eventually so as to make them more realistic looking in their position on the ship.
  2. Thanks No Idea. BTW a rigged version of your ship would be the ultimate reference for every future Le Rochefort builder!
  3. No Idea, I’ve been so intimidated by your incredible build that I confess I couldn’t look anymore as I fear I would have given up on my far more inferior efforts. However I am at last at the rigging stage with my 1/36 Le Rochefort. Hope you don’t mind me sharing my ship. Don’t look too closely as there are a lot of little errors.
  4. Ah100m Lovethe sails. Any chance of a description of your sail making technique?
  5. Thanks again for all the suggestions. I think I’ll go the wood carving way. I’ll can cut and paste the plan parts onto some boxwood and off I’ll go. Painting the anchors for realism shouldn’t be a problem for me.
  6. Thanks for the replies. I might just make them out of wood. I was wondering how hard it would be to cut the shape out of brass? obviously the stock would be made of wood, maybe the flukes as well, but the shank could be metal?
  7. I need two sets of anchors for my 1/36 scale French port yacht. One anchor needs to be approx 5x5cm and the other about 4x4. I have the plans 1:1. Just wondering the best way to make these anchors. I am not in possession of a metal lathe however.
  8. HaHa Just been using my Mitre as a thin strip jig on my Byrnes saw. But I like the one above. Might scratch build my own version.
  9. Looks amazing. You know the fit is good when the transom pieces sit happily in position without gluing!
  10. I suspect this ship will be more precisionally built and engineered than the original!
  11. I found it difficult to know which line to follow exactly when cutting out the template for the main plywood piece from the plans owing to the confusion of lines on the plans! Again your work is truly inspiring!
