I have the "choice" between an historic "probability of truth", and another approach, more "creative" J-C Lemineur wrote to me that my proposition had existed, but later, then it would be an anachronism, that's also your point of view... I shall take a moment of reflection before a definitive decision 😘

After verification with Jean-Claude Lemineur, author of Saint-Philippe's monograph, the ship has a rear inclined keel : For exact construction, reproduce this angle pf 1.2 ° by a 1.2 cm part placed under fore keel, and install vertically all frames For a closed hull construction, it's possible to ignore this particularity, because the difference is very small with 1.2 cm for one meter length, but, in such a case, it will be necessary to prepare a new draw of the horizontal keel, the result of general look could be even a little more "elegant"

The keel was copied from the 1/72 source plan, and it's dimensions verified with compass : You can see the notches (green on the screen), placed towards the position line for the frames AR (rear), and forward for noted AV (front) The keel is subdivided into two parts : the keel itself, and a thinner false keel, placed above it, that receives the down notches, the difference in thickness between high and down parts providing an uniform bulkhead (râblure in french), without to dig it into wooden mass (this simplified process was successfully used on USS Confederacy, and Niña, both in closed built) The other functions of this false keel is to support the first gun deck with adapted camber, which will be applied to all other desks of ship

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
