I did the same with the Alert from Shipyard. The model is also wider than given in the historic plans. 

I would adopt the hatches and the deck furnitures but not the width of the model. I. think in the small scale it's only visible if you measure your model.

Really wonderful carvings.

I have no idea of french shipbuilding. But it‘s looking strange, that the hawse pieces do not end at the rabbet. How should the planks fit then there?

I couldn't give any input to such a discussion, but really interested to read such a thread and read about your opinions. I followed a lot of your drawing works and like it very much.

Mike, is there any progress on this model?

Ask again in a couple of months, as I am knee-deep in Surprise development right now, I would need to set up new files just for your scale.

Thanks for the answer. It's not running away...

Hello Chris,

is it possible to buy these figurines and also some of the other from you in scale 1/36? As I build my models in this scale they will fit than perfectly to my models.

Your concept is working very well. It‘s looking amazing.

Very neat work. It‘s looking great.

It’s looking perfect.👌

Question: Is it wise to shape the cutwater at this point (and set it aside for a really long time)?

By my first try's I glued the Knee of the Head directly to the stem. But in the meantime I think it is much better to do this after building the complete farming of the hull. What you should prepare now is a hole in the stem and the knee that makes it easier to adjust and center the parts later.

Really nice progress, Adam

Really wonderful result, Allan. I thought a really long time how to do this my sloop Fly and you are showing me a possible solution. Thank you.

It's not only the problem which David mentioned. It's also a simple problem working with wood (and also other materials). If you cut and grind your wooden parts 100% exactly to the line, your model keel will be 0.4 to 0.5 mm longer than planned (depends if you have 5 or 6 parts). The glue needs also some space. My experience say that you have to think on 0.1mm for every joint. If you add some thin paper for the caulking you need at minimum 0.15 to 0.2mm for the joint.

Especially at the keel this gives your model some extra length.

With manually cutted parts you can't avoid this. 

Really nice progress 

Hi Chuck, 

I love your designs and have different of your kit at home. One of your designs I am missing is Speedwell. It's good to know, that it is possible to find the kit later also on the market. 

It's good to know, that you plan to make further designs and have different projects you want to do.

I will follow your log with great interest. I have visited the boat a few times in Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig. It‘s a really interesting vessel. In your scale you can build the model with all the fine details 

Really interesting choice, Aetna of the revised Carcass design is on my ToDo list. So I will follow with great interest.

Sorry, but the show is a little bit far away from Germany.🤣

It‘s looking really nice.👍 

Welcome back, Remco. I missed your updates in the last years.

That is a really interesting solution for the ships framing.

I fully agree with your statement.

Congratulation for finishing this beautiful frigate.

Did you make the drawings by yourself? You made really good progress in the last year. Now the fun part will begin.
