La Renommée by JOUFF - 1/48 - French Frigate - by Patrick JOUFFRIN


Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen !

Following the mistake I made by positioning a black join - not to simulate a caulking - but to show that the barrels were composed of several pieces, I decided to start all over again.

So I trimmed my chopsticks, without the join this time :

Then I ordered copper roll (Petr - my new Czech friend - advised me) :

tonnel69.jpg

Back on the lathe, still using a rubber band allowing me to machine both sides of the barrels without damaging them :

tonnel75.jpg

Vérification :

Then the result on a serie :

The lids :

For the continuation of the work on these lids, here in pictures, how I proceeded, for those that it could interest :

tonnel84.jpg

Then comes the work of copper. I use gloves so as not to 'grease' and I cut small strips corresponding to the size of barrels :

tonnel68.jpg

The advantage of this copper roll is that it can be immersed in a liquid without altering the self-adhesive part :

tonnel64.jpg

For rinsing, I followed Petr's advice : "Bicarbonate de soude" dissolved in distilled water :

tonnel66.jpg

After drying, the copper strips are cut into thin lengths using a ruler and a scalpel, then it is patience :

tonnel80.jpg

tonnel81.jpg

Nothing complicated, but it's quite long.

In the end, I declined 6 series of barrels :

tonnel85.jpg

To obtain 88 barrels :

No more black joints, so it is more in line with reality, but we see less separations between the boards ... Question of choice !

They were the most "big" barrels. There will be others thereafter, but not for the moment : I'm starting to saturate!

See you later !

Hello gentlemen and thank you for your encouragement !

Continuing work in the bottom of the hull ...

This remark, from another forum :

Hello
Nice work, watch out for the rear bunker the cross section is wrong, you have to reduce the housing of the lantern.
Good luck for the future.
Patrick [/ quote]

is quite accurate: if we stick strictly to the cross-sectional plan, it does not work. So I 'managed' with some difficulty to bring all this !

The local of the lantern is not yet glued ...

It suits me, despite the small difficulty compared to the plan! That it serves the following modellers ...

Hello gentlemen !

I continued with the creation of tin plates protecting the bungs of certain barrels:

I picked up a few twigs to make the logs:

Finally, I positioned all this small world at the bottom of the hold :

Here for the moment, the following in a few times.

Good day to you all !

Hello gentlemen,

After a few months without activity on La Renommée, the building site will restart ...

Hard to get back to work. After the barrels, I will continue to the back. Two or three photos to locate :

The lantern will be the next goal ...

Good evening gentlemen and ... thank you for your encouragement!

Finally, after a few tests, I tried the adventure and ... I won !!!!

I was satisfied with a simple little "first price" blowtorch, some paste and a little refractory stone, and here is the result :


0118.jpg

0217.jpg

0316.jpg

0413.jpg  

0512.jpg


The base is not fixed yet ... I'll see for the windows and the candle before. I even managed to close the ring by brazing it.

I think I understood how to braze, finally I made myself a "mountain" when in the end it is not very complicated. Even during my tests I did not manage to melt my pieces (others of course : I did not want to start all over again ! )

To be continued ...

Good evening to you !

Patrick
