  1. I began this project in 2017 and it's been progressing very slowly! I found some of the pictures I took along the way. Here I was completing the hull. The "sloup coquiller" was a typical Oyster Boat of the area of Brest in the Department of Finisterre in Brittany, being used for catching shell-fish. The model is based on pictures from 1912 onward.
  2. Hello, my name is Michele, I live in the rainy North West of the UK. I've always had an interest in models, mainly aircrafts. In 2017 I bought my first boat, the Sloup from Corel and I loved it! It's been a very slow project, with lots of breaks in between. Recently I've managed to progress a bit faster than usual and by searching suggestions and advice on how to build it it's how I came across modelshipworld! I'm looking forward to finally complete this model and to move to next one!
  3. This is my second boat model. Mostly I picked it because I've crewed on a 90' Baltic gaff-rigged schooner and loved the idea of red sails. This kit comes in four languages. It appears the English part was translated by someone whose English was their second language. "Sandpaper" was written as "Glass paper." Perhaps because glass is made from sand? Anyway I'm enjoying it because there is lots of leeway and forgiveness. I had to make some changes because they apparently designed it on paper and some things simply did not work. Like the spar hoist went two-block and the sail was too big. As for the Red Sales, it came with white. So I purchased a bundle of red shop rags and soaked the rags and sails for a few days to turn them red. Now quite enough, so I soaked the 'pink' sails in some red wine. Just right. My hand isn't all that steady so when it came to painting the blue and black lines, I cheated and used tape. (Does this make me a bad person?) I have a question in another section as to why the mainsail has only 3 rings to the mast, and up high; and no boom downhaul. The sails came white; so I purchased a bundle of red shop rags from Home Depot and placed them all in a bucket of water for a day. That gave me, well, pink ("It's a girl!") so I used half a bottle of red wine (the cheap stuff) and got the colors below. Port gunnel was cut, shaped glued, as per instructions. For the Starboard, I used a flat board and a bunch of screws and made a curve. I used the full length and boiled it in water for 20-minutes, and curved it. Two broke, but the last one worked well. Gaff lifting block too close, so I have to move the rigging up. The kit ran out of rope for sewing around the sails. Had to get more rope.. I spaced out the three rings because the pictures had them all too high. I added a down haul. I did all this because the schooner I sailed on worked like that. Us old guys don't have steady hands for painting lines. (I did on full size boats) so I cheated and used tape. Now I have to make the oars and repaint the bottom.
  4. Here is my new build. It will be for one of my daughters. It looks like it is going to be a fun build. I will be working on it at the same time as my other project, the Confederacy I think I am just going to build this one out of the box.
  5. Currently interested in the evolution of the working sloops of Brittany, and finding relevant contemporary drawings.
  6. Thanks for stopping by my Corel Sloup build log. The first photo shows the current status of my build and will be updated as the build progresses. Corel missed the boat (pun intended) with labeling this model as 'Sloop'. IMHO, there would be more interest if the kit was marketed as 'Sloup Coquillier / Shell fish Sloop'. The Sloop Coquillier is a celebrated work boat with a long history from the coast of Brtittany, France, to the shores of the UK and beyond. From Corel's instructions: The "sloup coquillier" was a boat typical of the Anchorage of Brest, in the Department on Finistere in Brittany (on the north-west coast of France), used to collect shellfish, in particular Saint Jacques shells ("Pecten Jacobaeus, the Venetian "Cape Sante"), and, to a lesser extent, oysters and other types of shell fish. Attributable to the vast range of French boats with "cul carre" and "quille tombante" (square bow and strongly sloping keel), the sloup, like all popular boats, was the result of a complex historical evolution and structural adjustment to uses and environments. The hull, little immersed and rather full astern, proceeding from the main frame towards bow, gradually took on a deep, net hollow V-section, culminating in the peak fishing point. Going forward, I will refer to this build as the 'coquillier' (AKA oyster smack.) The obligatory kit info: With no burn marks on the keel or bulkheads, it appears these were machine / die cut. The quality is very good and these parts fit snug. The quality of Corel lumber is a bit above average. The first layer of planking is lime wood, a bit nicer than basswood. The second planking is tanganika and most of the dimensional lumber is beech. The decking is plywood and appears to be mahogany, it's excellent quality and very flat. Corel instructions assume that the builder has some experience. While there are 11 pages of instructions, (two pages / sheet), after removing the 'fluff', we're down to about two pages. But the lack of instructions is more than made up for with the four sheets of drawings that progress in a logical manner. The drawings are very detailed, contain a wealth of information and numerous part specific detailed drawings. I'm looking forward to building this boat and learning more about its history.
