Le Gros Ventre by marsalv - FINISHED - 1:48 - POF


Recommended Posts

After a long creative vacuum, I started a new project. This is the so-called "gabare" Le Gros Ventre at 1:48 scale, the model will be realized using the POF method (plank on frame) according to a monograph by Gerard Delacroix. I will use cherry, pear, black hornbeam and maple wood for the building, without painting.
Gabare is a cargo ship used by the French Royal Navy during the 18th and 19th centuries. For this reason, there is no orlop deck.
The first phase of the construction was the making of a building board necessary for the installation of frames on the keel. 
Great attention must be paid to the maximum accuracy of the position of the bottom and top base.

After several unsuccessful attempts is stern completed. The lower filling parts I had to make four times😡.

Reminds me of an article I read many years ago about a master knife maker in Japan who rejected one out of every three blades that he forged. The mark of a true craftsman is to not be satisfied with substandard work. I'm not a master craftsman myself ... maybe someday.
