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


Recommended Posts

Hi Albert,

thank you for the nice comment.

 

So it goes on with the construction report.

 

To rig the 18 pounder I'm still researching on with respect to the breeching ropes. Was this right laid or left laid?
In the meantime, I'm doing the "Baille à Drisse", some sort of container for
coiling of ropes, such as the topsail-haylard.

On the French Corvette was thereof a total of 5 units available. 2 pieces each in front of the foremast and the mainmast and 1 piece in front of the mizzen mast.

Here I show the detail of the plan by J. Boudriot.

This is an example of this container on the model of the Belle Poule from the Musée national de la Marine in Paris.

For the French corvette I make the container of sheet brass. The upper and lower parts were etched. The drawing for the film I made myself. The etching is done by a service provider.
After assembly, the part is still burnished. But thereof next time more.

Hello,

 

many thanks for your nice comments.

By the way, that's not a 18 pounder, but a 30 pound carronade.

 

After burnishing is the "Baille à Drisse" completed.

Equipped with a coil of rope, it looks like this:

Hi Thomas,

hi Remco,

 

in addition to your previous postings I show here again the whole artillery of the Corvette.

As can be seen, there are a total of four 18-pounder guns and twenty 30 pound carronades.

Hello, dear friends!
Thank you for your kind words and support.
I appreciate your comments very much.

Hello Nils,


thank you for your positive response.

 

Currently I build the long boat for the French corvette. This is the largest boat of La Creole, with a length of 8.5 m.
The following pictures show the first work steps:

Good technique Johann,

 

doing keel, transom and planking over the (built on filled out Frames) Plug.

I presume you will be bringing in the ribs after planking is done, it Looks very good
