clean and tidy as usual! It is a pleasure to watch your work.

Gundeck-beams and its corresponding hanging-knees in place.

Although very from time to time (lack of time due to job matters), I keep on with my model.

Outstanding!, I can see perfection everywhere.

Outstanding as usual!

I wish you a Happy New Year to you, Johann, and everyone!

Happy New Year to you, Tiziano and, of course, to everyone!

Well, the St Philippe monograph is my Christmas present, but it has been in transit for almost a month now.  Perhaps it is sailing over here on Le Saint Philippe II 😉

 

Yes, in fact, I ordered it on 14th October and I know it was sent on 14th December from France to Spain.

Thanks for the link.

So, this is kind of a big day in my build-log!

 

After much waiting, Ancre publications has finally released the monographie of Le Saint Philippe of 1693.  This is a collaborative effort between Jean Claude Lemineur, and the modeler Jose Tusset.

 

Here is the link:

 

https://ancre.fr/en/monograph/93-le-saint-philippe-1693.html

 

The reason this work is so significant to me, and particularly for this project, is that Le Saint Philippe was one of the new ships of the “Second Marine,” which was the major rebuilding program, following the losses at La Hogue.  This rebuilding program marks the beginning of the long pushed-for standardization of French naval architecture into a codified rate system.

 

Because SR’s rebuild in 1688/89 is so close to the re-construction reforms of the second marine - it is plausible that the re-built, first SR would have incorporated much of the design elements that would be incorporated into the new navy.

 

My approach to modeling SR has always been a sort of forensic exploration, using contemporary sources to fill in the numerous blanks of the Heller kit.  From the instant I saw early photographs of the Tusset model, I recognized many of the more prominent features of the model I was proposing to build.

 

I expect that this new monographie will be an invaluable resource, and a much-needed one for the details of hull form/design, ship furniture, arrangement of armament, masting, rigging, etc.

 

Oh, and did I mention that it’s available in English?!  I know what I want for Christmas!

I've just discovered this thread and I think it's outstanding. Congratulations!
I'm also waiting for receiving this awesome monograph.

By the way, Happy Christmas for everyone!

I've got out of words to qualify this amazing work. Amalio, you are simply great!

¡Me he quedado sin palabras para calificar este increíble trabajo. Amalio, ¡simplemente eres genial!

Hello,

 

This is quite true for the project, I am working on the monograph of a frigate of 24 "L’Égyptienne". The plans are almost finished, it remains the writing of the text.
Expected release early next year but not at Ancre Editions but under my name as usual since 2006.

Hello Mr Delacroix. I don't know if you remember I asked you about an estimated release date. No doubt, it's a great news! I keep on expecting this new monograph. Thanks for this information.

Reshirt, Jean-Paul, you have reason, I should have written about this another new model, but I unconsciously paid attention to the bigger one.

A new monograph, The Saint-Philippe -1693, by Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre).

You can find more information at https://ancre.fr/en/monograph/93-le-saint-philippe-1693.html

I cannot resist and I have just made the order.

I apologise if this is not the proper place to write news.

I have no words. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words!

A pleasure for sight!

Another small update: surgeon's bunker, writer's bunker and pumps case.

Amalio, thank you very much for your every Monday dose of art. It's absolutely marvellous!

It's really an awesome museum!

Thanks very much for the likes and comments.

Little by little, I keep on inside the ship. In this case, bread oven.

I never get tired of watching your spectacular work. It's a pleasure for my eyes.

Excellent and neatly work!

I think these pictures are a bit better.
