Very nice work Karl, a great production set-up to use if not using a mill.  A fearsome battery you have assembled.

 

cheers

Hello Jeronimo,

I have just looked at your beautiful and outstanding work and am somewhat torn to tell you that

the large grating platform at the rear has the wrong shape!

I saw the actual model close up when it was on tour in Quebec City a while back.

The plans of the Musee de la Marine, while not nearly as good plans, show the right shape of the platform.

Also Bernard Froelich states in his book The Art of Ship Modelling on page 280 near the bottom on

the right side of the page " I must mention an error in the drawings of this platform."

He goes on to describe the mistake. The sides of the platform should taper in the rear to follow

the shape of the poop which should make for a much better looking model.

I don 't understand why these plans were not corrected a long time ago!

Sorry to point this out to you but I feel that if you wanted to, you could still correct the mistake

Regards Henry

Sorry to be a pest.

In Froelich's book on page 121 here is also a good photo and description of this platform.

Does the photo show the platform grating fitted as to what I think is upside down ? I've never ever seen a grating fitted that way on any ship or model. A real stumbling block to say the least. That's just my opinion of course.

What a pitty Karl,

 

but I think the platform in line with the ships shape aft will look better....

Good luck with the corrective action....

Really nice work Karl,  I especially like, and am impressed, that you were able to maintain a symmetrical and evenly spaced opening despite the tapering shape.

 

cheers

Hello everyone and thanks for the kind comments.

 

The carving and ornaments on this model exceed my abilities considerably.

They are a very well executed commissioned work and correspond exactly to my ideas.

The execution was made in boxwood.

 

Karl
