Good Morning All I've completed the Cabins and the steering wheel, and to my complete astonishment , the cabins looked as if they were train wagons😂😂 , however , when placed on deck, they gave me a close look and feel (I hope so 🙄☺️), right now, I'm working on the masts. Thank you -

Thank you very much Glenn, I'm working now on the deadeye blocks , from scratch too. I'll prepare the photo set for the those blocks as i start from scratch to the end, i use Balsa wood , cut it from a Balsa Sheet , thickness of 6 mm x 6 mm , and with a sand paper I get the cylindrical shape, after completion the diameter is about 3.5 mm, then cut this into blocks, again with sand paper until i get the correct shape, I'll try to post those photos in a day or two. Thank you very much shape of -

Thank you very much Glenn, I appreciate your effort in making things clear to me. Indeed , I'll find your log and it will be my guide .. I guess i'll follow your advice and select the recent version due to the availability of photos. btw, https://www.antique-fine-art.com/schooner.html here is CLAIRE which is a model based on etoile Thank you again -

Thank you Glenn for the rich information. Actually I know that all versions are identical whether l'Etoile or Belle Poule , I even noticed one of the boats called CLAIRE , Similar Hull and Rigging could you please explain. Thank you very much -
Hello All Started building L'Etoile - a french Schooner. I Didn't find the plan, so, searched for other plans that are close to it. I found a plan for a three masted Barquentine called DEWARUTJI , and since L'Etoile has only 2 masts, i had to make some modifications to the plan such as widening a little bit at the middle and the stern as well. I do double planking on bulk heads. Please check the attached building log. will keep posting photos as I proceed, and please feel free to post your comments to help reach the proper l'Etoile shape Thank you
