Thank you,
 
that comments are nice and motivating

 

For the French corvette I had the gratings already made.
But because the holes were too big, I decided to make them new.

Hello,

so it goes on with the construction report.
To stow the sloop on the deck, I have to build the poultry houses. These lie between the gratings.

For construction of the poultry houses, I show you the following pictures.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

That's a place I have never seen chicken coops (houses) in before.  Very different.  Many times, the French put them on the quarterdeck behind the mizzenmast and wheel.  I was under the impression is was because the chickens and eggs were the property of the officers.

I have to say I esteem you and your skill Johann...

Astonishing...

 

My only consolation is it can be a probability of an imperfection via electron microscope, maybe... :)

Best Regards…

Johann, I have been following your build with awe! You somehow make every piece of wood look so precise, crisp & smooth. Just about as close to perfect as humanly possible! Some of the finest modeling I have ever seen - I wish I could make something look this good! It is a pure pleasure to see.

Hello,

 

thanks for the nice comments and likes.

 

After the completion of chaloupe, I prepare the next boat project - Grand Canot -.
Therefore, I compare the documents available to me.
-J. Boudriot
-Atlas Du Génie maritime
-Photos From Paris Original Model
The thwart with mast holder in the bow area is further forward.
Therefore there are 7 instead of 6 thwarts.
I think that the basis for the construction of the "Grand Canot" are acceptable.

Hello,
thanks for the nice notes. It is a pleasure again.

In the following I will show the next steps to build a pinnace.
First, the gunwales are attached to the framework. Next, the keel planks are fastened.

The last picture shows a size comparison between chaloupe and pinnace.

Hi E&T,

thanks for the nice comment.

 

Hi Carl,

it really goes a little faster, but this is firstly caused by the size, and secondly, the construction of the pinnace is easier.
For example, the frames are done only in one piece.

Hi Carl,
thank you for your positive comment.

Here are a few images from the current stage of construction.

Planking coming to an end.
