L'Amarante by giampieroricci - 1749 French Corvette scale 1:30


Recommended Posts

Before fixing the dolphins I believe I must cover the hawse pipes with lead foil.

For this, I thought of using the commonest fishing sinkers, long enough and suitably machined on a lathe to obtain a kind of tube:

I started working on the transom, probably the less successful because of some asymmetry that I hope, completing the work, it is not too obvious.

 

Meanwhile, I trimmed the excesses of strakes:

I built the two stretchers of the transom:

And the crowning that supports these stretchers:

From this picture I get the impression that the courses tend to rise slightly to the left, although it seems not live; mah!
