Thank you all for the nice comments ! @dvm27 Hi Greg, yes, a little fail. I have measured incorrectly on the CAD an this was the result. But it is part of the game. No pain, no gain.... It was a good reminder to keep the eyes always open ! -
The newest timelaps to my project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALPMPxZ770&t=0

Fine-tuning and assembly of the individual components. Preparation for setting up the frames.

Thank you, I try to copy your great work, Giampy. 😊

Thank you, Albert. Nice idea, to see our both projects side by side.

Thank you all for the comments. Good luck for your 74-gunner. She´s as well a beast and will be a nice model.

Uff. A lot of questions. First, thank you all for the nice comments and all the likes on this thread. @Justin P. The fixogum is easy to remove. The gluestick not. I apply it with an little woodstick from a ice cream. Its good to collect them, useful tool ! I you use normal glue the paper will be wavy, with fixogum not. As well the normal glue can penetrate the wood and make a lot of problems with the coating, painting ect. Fixogum works very well. The pencillines are the drillholes from the bolts. You can see it on the picture. I used it for the positioning of the upper head of the bolts. On my MF 70 i use a additional ringlamp. I bought it on ebay. The wood i bought here from a local dealer in germany @Seahawk1313 "a captured French Third Rate, as taken off at Portsmouth Dockyard prior to being fitted as 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker. Later alterations sent to Portsmouth on 24 August.. " The Tigre was drawn quickly after she was captured. The details combines as well with the french ships from the epoch. I have varified the plan with three specialist and the opinion was clear that this plan is a perfect base to work on a Temeraire-class from Brest from the early 90´s. The british changings are added with green lines as well in the plan and are described.

Thanks, guys 👍

The construction of the frames is finished. The next shape they get during assembly to the keel. ...and the 6000 bolts as well.

A short update after my holiday.

@bruce d Thanks for your interest, Bruce. First I thought to use cherry, but the graining in this scale is a little bit too much. For the frame i use pear, the classic. For the rest i will see. For the decorations i will use boxwood.

I want to indroduce my follow-up project after my La Belle. Modelling ships is an evolution. In skill, knowledge, as well in challenge. For me it is, so i will go one step further and try to draw my own plan for a plank on frame modell. I will try to build the famous Redoutable which has her part in the history in the battle of Trafalgar. The Suffren was build in 1790/91 and refitted in 1794 in Brest and renamed in Redoutable. My project is based on the contemporary plans from the Tigre availible in the NMM. The Tigre was captured in 95 and, business as usual, measured in Portsmouth. All the 74er buildt in Brest are based on the same plan, there are only differences in the details. The Suffren/Redoutable and the Tigre was build in Brest with a small gap of two years. With a very high propability both are very, maybe absolutly, similar. The plan is now to draw the whole Timberingplans and to reconstruct the ship to get drawings for a POF-Modell. First i measured the plan than i put more than 900 measureingpint into the cad to build the hull. The designing from the hull is now complete. Sorry for the poor quality from the screenshots, but i can post the pictures only in JPG.

Thanks Patrick. I use this pdf since beginning of the project. The list of artefacts are very useful.
