Hello, La Recouvrance from Soclaine made in France is a cheap $100 wooden model ship kit. La recouvrance at brest is a modern sail ship based on 19th century's original name ship. When I started this kit, I had to choose between old 14-canon la recouvrance and modern 6-canon la recouvrance with screw. My choice is...... following a historically inaccurate kit manual due to a lack of skill. 😥 Some of you may remember that I introduced a metal cored mast technique when I joined this forum an year ago. I encountered heavy technical issues I didn't know, especially durability and corrosion, and I decided to stop to build this ship until I solve the issues and prove the metal cored mast is cool new technique. A year has passed. I had no chance to solve the problem because of COVID-19. All public libraries shut down, and material application science was not my major. I don't give up to apply multiple material compounds with wood to wooden model ship, and still think it is a cool idea, but it is time to wrap up 'this kit'. I will finish this kit regardless of metal cored masts. Therefore, please forgive me for not updating the article for years.😪 I didn't touch this kit for an year. All the parts were assembled in 2019 when I wasn't a member of MSW. Here is new comer. I didn't notice this compass tower an year ago. I didn't know how to read drawings properly... and now too. Using 3D printer, I printed out the 4mm x 4mm x 2mm transparent compass chassis. I agree that I'm lazy man. 🤪 You may see many inaccurate or unrealistic parts due to lack of my knowledge and skill. Please don't hesitate to tell me any issues. I may not be able to fix all the issues, but I'll try to reduce them. One of member finished same kit in 2013.

Has anyone here built the La Recouvrance wood ship model, by Maquette Bateau Bois? See the attached photograph. The instructions and drawings are in French, so I am having difficulty. -

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
