Hello,
thanks for your interest, for the comments and the likes!
The second frame work for a cutter is completed.

Here is a size comparison of all previous boats for the French corvette.

Hello,
thank you for the nice compliment and the Likes!
And here it goes merciless continue by boat building ...

The framework for the first cutters for the French corvette is ready so far to planking.
The second bulkhead framework is already in progress.

Hello,

here is a litte update:

PS: I beg your pardon for the double reporting.
Therefore, I changed it.

Hi Remco,
thanks for your nice comments.
Here I want to show you the basics for the construction of the two boats.
Compared to the original model of the boats from the Musée national de la Marine there are
various deviations from the plan of J. Boudriot and drawings from the Atlas du Genie Maritime.
As a result of my review of these documents, I choose therefore the construction of the cutter is substantially based on the drawings from the Atlas du Génie Maritime and J. Boudriot.

That's the theory; soon it then continues with images of the model practice ...

Hello, many thanks to all for your positive comments and the likes.
It pleases me again about your feedback.

With the New Year I have started the construction of the two cutters (petits canots) of the French Corvette.
Here are the first impressions:

Hello,
thanks for the likes and positive feedback.

Just in time for the year, the pinnace was finished.
For this I want to show you some pictures.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Hello,
thanks for the nice comments and the likes.

Here are a few recent pictures to further internal development of the pinnace.

Hello,
I am happy for the positive feedback, thank you for it. The attachment of the mast clamps was to be clarified.
After searching the internet I have at various
Models seen this solution. I think that this hook bolt
represent a practical solution.
For this my drawing:

In the next step I made the mast clamps for the thwarts.

On the following pictures are all built-in parts for the Pinnace

Hello there,

thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.

It continues with a two pictures of the progress of the construction of the pinnace.

Hello,
Thanks for the positive feedback.
For the preparation of supports for the thwarts, I made a template out of a small brass tube.
This solution I've seen here in the forum at Remco's building report.
This works very well.
Thanks to Remco!

A further thwart is installed.

Hello there,
thanks for the nice comments.

Here is an update of the report:

Currently, I equip the boat from inside. Among other things, I currently mount the floorboards.
See the photos

Hi Carl,
thank you for your positive comment.
Here are a few images from the current stage of construction.
Planking coming to an end.

The gunwale are already built.
The washstrakes is ready for installation ...

... and done.

Hello there,
some new impressions of the construction of the pinnace.
The demolding was successful without that something was glued.
NMBROOK reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette March 30, 2016

Hello,
thanks for the nice notes. It is a pleasure again.
In the following I will show the next steps to build a pinnace.
First, the gunwales are attached to the framework. Next, the keel planks are fastened.
The last picture shows a size comparison between chaloupe and pinnace.

Hello,

here is the continuation of the construction of the longboat.
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
I hope you like it.

Hello,
Nils thank you.

Here are the pictures from the first steps to build the pinnace.
NMBROOK reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette March 30, 2016

Hello,

thanks for the nice comments and likes.

After the completion of chaloupe, I prepare the next boat project - Grand Canot -.
Therefore, I compare the documents available to me.
-J. Boudriot
-Atlas Du Génie maritime
-Photos From Paris Original Model
The thwart with mast holder in the bow area is further forward.
Therefore there are 7 instead of 6 thwarts.
I think that the basis for the construction of the "Grand Canot" are acceptable.

Hi there,
Mark, Ferit, Giampiero, Jesse, and all other

Hello,
so it goes on with the construction report.
To stow the sloop on the deck, I have to build the poultry houses. These lie between the gratings.
For construction of the poultry houses, I show you the following pictures.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
NMBROOK reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette March 30, 2016

Thank you, that comments are nice and motivating
For the French corvette I had the gratings already made.
But because the holes were too big, I decided to make them new.

Here is a comparison between the old and the new.
NMBROOK reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette March 30, 2016

Hello there,
thanks for the nice comments. That makes me happy.
Original the tholes were made of wrought iron. For the model
I made this in brass.
The last picture shows the sloop in its future position.

Hello,
Carl and Greg,
Here are the next attempts .... :D

The nailing I made with holes diameter 0.5 mm. The filling is made of furniture wax.

Before I put the parts in the sloop I have it coated with "Ballenmattierung".
