La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette


Recommended Posts

It's a very clean work as usual. It's a pleasure to watch this post.

 

By the way, Do you have photos about your helm wheel building, perhaps made with the dividing head?

Here is a  picture of the steering wheel.

I do not know exactly what you mean.

I hope it is the right one.

Maybe he has a manual ...  :wacko:

 

Very beautiful steering wheel and fittings, Johann. It is one of those things which tends to fade into the background with all the other superb elements you make, and show us ... so much to see

Today I show bending aids for the production of chainplates.
A complete chainplate I have made in advance to see
how it works.

Since the deadeyes have different diameters, the chainplates are also made with different

wire thicknesses, namely 0.7 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.4 mm brass wire.

Johann, every time I receive a notification of an update in your building log, I'm sure I'm going to watch a remarkable work. When I access into MSW, I confirm my expectations. I can not get enough of watching your fine work.

One more time, Congratulations! and thanks for sharing this master piece with us.

Your metal work is amazing. Just the details in that alone are a subject of study. Looking great!

Hello,

 

many thanks for the nice comments and the LIKES.

I still make and assemble the chain plates.

Here I will briefly demonstrate the assembly of the chain plates.
The correct length is determined as follows.
