    Hi. I start, very very slowly, this work: Le Fraçois, a small 5th class vessel from the end of 17th century (1683), work by Jean-Claude Lemineur. Woods: mainly pearwood, ebony and boxwood. The base of the building board is 2 cms thick. The height of upper jig is positioned on waterline. The keel has got four pieces and it's not flat, has a slight tilt in bow and stern. There is no false keel in this model. The rabbets angles are temporarily formed, once the frames have installed the final shape will take place. All parts of the keel, stem, inner stem and rising-wood are glued. The stern-post is not glued to the whole, by now, in order to work more comfortable on stern parts. Frames are formed by three different thicks, at 1/48 scale are four, three and two mm, from the bottom to the top. By now, I'm only making the foot of frames to check how fit on the keel. Best regards, Jose

    Hi. When I ordered this monograph I also thought in a book with pictures and text, with the same French edition format. However it's exactly the French edition (book and drawings) with a booklet apart without pictures, only text, traslated into Spanish. I'm a bit disapointed, so we have to read the text in our language and have a look to the French book to see anotations on the pictures in order to understand. It's not very comfortable, but we have no another solution. Hola. Cuando encargué esta monografía, también pensé en un libro con imágenes y texto, con el mismo formato que la edición francesa. Sin embargo, es exactamente la edición francesa (libro y planos) con un anexo aparte sin imágenes, sólo texto, traducido al español. Estoy un poco decepcionado, así que tenemos que leer el texto en nuestro idioma y echar un vistazo al libro francés para ver anotaciones en las imágenes para entender. No es muy cómodo, pero no tenemos otra solución.

    Hi Cabrapente. Good job! I've got Le François too. In fact, this will be my next project, on January, when I receive some pear wood from Belgium. This monograph brings a booklet in Spanish. The another one, it's very useful.

    Thanks guys. A small progress: some frames put in place (from 41 to 52), not glued of course, to have an idea ( some frame's foot was moved before taking photos).

    Hello. I'm building L'Amarante, a french corvette, at 1/40 scale, a bit smaller than the original on the monograph (1/36) by Gérard Delacroix. I'm using pear wood and ebony, by now. I've done the keel and the stern frame (except the fashion pieces and its upper parts). This model has got 52 frames. I've started from stern (52) to stern (1). Best regards.
