Rudder done!

Scuppers

Forecastle done!

The cleats correspond geometrically to the small cleats on the wreck. As I don't trust glued cleats, I will also secure them with a bolt.
The 3mm rollers will be installed in the crane beams, mast cradles and the fixed snatch blocks on the railing. According to the wreck, La Belle only had wooden sheaves and axles. Before installation, the parts are cleaned again, the cleats rounded, etc.

Testing the workaround with the CNC for repeat parts

Added the endboss, the cheeks, and the bolsters.

A short update:

Thank you all for the nice comments and all the likes.
After two years a new timelapse from the reconstruction of my Redoutable.

294 dovetails later.....
Deck clamps done!

I've created a suction adapter for the Proxxon DH40.
It can be downloaded from my website and printed out yourself. The diameters have been increased by 0.2 mm so that the tube can be fitted without any problems.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

The Gunports

Short update. Constructing the officers cabins and the windows.

Its not magic. Only a simple construction with profiles.

Some preparations....

Update from the stern

Thank you to all for the nice comments.

Short and quick update: the side counter timber

I spent the last days before the well-deserved summer holiday making new clamps. Unfortunately, due to the narrow frame spacing incl. bolt heads, I could no longer use my clamps from the
La Belle. So new ones were needed. With the focus on subsequent projects, I oversized them a lot. I could now also build a Valmy in 1/48 with them (actually a nice project).
I will also make new clamps for the bow area. But there I will copy the La Belle principle 1:1, because they worked great there. I will show this in detail when it is ready.

Keelson, Stemson, Sternson knee and bolting done.

Some progresses on CAD

Thank you all, for the comments, the likes, and the interest in my project.

After a sabbatical year, the work on Redoutable continues.
I replaced my big tablesaw for a bandsaw and i did some modifications in my lightsystem to get more light in the middle of the ship.
On the CAD i added a lot of deckdetails, now i work on the riders to check the points on the keelson.
On the model i added 58 fillingpieces with drainingholes. Every one is a individual part for a individual place.
I shaped the portside and starbordside of the innerhull, the starboardside looks very good, the portside maybe 85%.
Next step will be the keelson.

Sorry, i was offline from the shipbuilding for a time. I use this milling machine. Its a self-made combination because in my eyes there is no milling machine in the market for our type of work.
The MF70 is a very good machine, but with limitations. But for small parts it´s a good choice. The same is with the Unimat. If you work on bigger projects, you will run as well in limitations.

Danke, Tobi !

Arrived from France today the Dossiers from Capitaine Lucas (Redoutable), Capitaine Magendie (Bucentaure) and Vice-amiral Villeneuve (Bucentaure).
