    Reworked the white a bit. Painted the deck furnitures. I did not glue them yet.
  2. captgino
    🎨 done?
  3. captgino
    Very nice work 😊

    Primed her with a coat of vallejo white primer. I will let it cure for 12 hours before starting the next stage of painting. 😊
  5. captgino
    Magnifique !! She is a beauty!

    Installed the chain plates. These pictures are pre-sanding and cleaning up.

    Here is my first attempt to the extra piece of the anchor system. Thoughts? Deck furniture completed. They are ready to be primed and painted

    Beautiful work on the sails. Terrific pictures. Going in my 'tutorial section'
  9. captgino
    Anchor system in. I still have to do some additional sanding to ensure a smoother transition. The plan from the Association des Amis du musée de la marine (AAMM) also has an additional part that I need to build and fit.

    I continued working on the bow and added the breakwaters. Drilled the hole for the water evacuation. Prepare the template for the anchor system to be set.
  11. captgino
    Small update. I did all the internal supports and attachments.
  12. captgino
    Continued to work on the stern. At this point, I am not longer using the plan from AL and switch to the plans from the Association des Amis du musée de la marine. Much better and accurate. Starting to do some testing with the pedestals. Added some timberheads Realized in the morning that they were too high. Cut and fixed that...

    Completed the deck conditioning and treenailing. There is some damage to the deck due to the fun i had with the drill bit the other night I think it will be ok as I continue to add more details on the top of it. Worked on the rudder. Pretty easy to complete since the kit provides you everything.
  14. captgino
    thank you. there was a bit of nervous during the fix rollout.
  15. captgino
    Working on the rudder and the dumb accident... The drill bit took the wrong angle and ripped through the deck. 😠😠😠 Removed some decking plank. Patched the hole and replank.🤔 Repairing is always fun 😅. Here is the result.
  16. captgino
    Great start!
  17. captgino
    Continued to work the Wales and stern. Added the hatch cummings
  18. captgino
    More progress on the build. I attached the railing. Attached the Wales.
  19. captgino
    Wow... amazing!
  20. captgino
    Continued to work on La Marie-Jeanne. Installed more of the stringers Craved the stringers to create the 2 scuppers. Preparation for the treenails. A lot of holes.... I am thinking about this song from Serge Gainsbourg, 'Le poinçonneur des Lila'sabout making holes days in and out. (38s to 58s) A Classic!! LOL Now I will need to fill them up.
  21. captgino
    Finished the deck planking. It turned out OK I think. The main problem is the thickness and the quality of the wood. It was hard to get a clean edge. Next step are the treenails. Here it is... Attached the side stringers.
  22. captgino
    Thank you Jack. You are right the bulwarks was a bit tricky. I used a hot curling iron to get the curb. For me the biggest problem was that lack of clear directions on how the upper stern should be attached.
  23. captgino
    Very nice progress!!! I love it. Happy birthday to you. Hope you had a great day!
  24. captgino
    Attached the bulwarks and the upper stern. I decided to deviate from the directions à little bit by not planking first and install the stringers yet. In my opinion, it will be easier to make adjustments to ensure the stringers are nice and flush to the inner bulwarks. I started the deck planking. Another problem with the directions from AL. The width of the plank cannot be 5mm; with the scale of the ship I should be about 3mm. My planks will be 3mmx60mm in a pattern of 3. Jig used to cut the planks. I decided to use a new technique for me to represent the caulking, black thread. It is a bit more difficult and time consuming but I am happy with the results so far. Thoughts?
  25. captgino
    After reviewing the plan from AL and reading a few French build log. It became apparent that I needed to get some better documentation and plan. So I purchased the plans from the association des amis du musée de la marine http://www.aamm.fr/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=235 I am going to change a lot if things based on these documents. Love them, what a difference!!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
