Beautiful carvings.

Once again, thanks to everyone for the positive responses. The last two photos remain to be posted. This week I participated in the Class C World Championship (NAVIGA organization) where I received a gold medal for the Le Gros Venter model. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Gerard Delacrox for his technical support during the construction. My next model will again be according to Mr. Delacroix's plans - L'Amarante.

The construction came to an end after approx. 4600 hours. All that remains is to post a few last photos and thank all the followers for watching and commenting on the progress of the model construction. Thank you.

To botra288: the adjustable tabel is "homemade", but you can buy something similar here: https://www.renishaw.com/shop/Product.aspx?Product=R-PCA-135075-12-6

Finishing work continues on the larger boat.

Small boat interior completed.

Thank you guys for compliments. To mtbediz - This is a normal slotting cutter, with only a reduced diameter of the shank to be used in the Proxxon milling machine. (https://www.uni-max.cz/produkty/drevoobrabeni/stopkove-nastroje/drazkovaci-frezy/dvoubrite-kratke/drazkovaci-freza-2br-6-19-8-mm)

I continue with the second - bigger boat. Here I decided to make the frames from one piece only, because in the end the connection of the individual parts of the frames will be hidden under the floor and will not be visible.

Unbelievably beautiful work. Bravo.

You're right, druxey. But after gluing a few planks on the ribs, the whole structure is strengthened and there are no problems with it.

I finished the outer planking of the small boat. Now I will start on the frame of the larger boat.

Incredibly clean and precise work. Simply beautiful.

Thank you guys.

I started making of the boats.

Fantastic work.

To Kevin-the-lubber - The materials in the monograph are well prepared and provide all the important information for building the model. However, if any information is missing or there is any ambiguity, Gerard Delacroix (the author of the monograph) will be very willing and quick to answer the relevant questions.

Thank you guys for nice comments and all likes.

To Strelok - my next project will be L´Amarante according to plan G. Delacroix.

To dvm27 - The only advantage of my age (really the only one) is that I am now retired and therefore have plenty of time to build the model. But this does not mean that it is a full-time job - it is usually 3-4 hours a day.

Preparation of anchors for hanging - buoy, fish strops.

Fore and main topsail yard, fore and main topgallant yard - this completes the runnig rigging.

Cross-jack yard, mizzen and topsail mizzen yard.

Wonderfull built.

Fore and main lower yards.

Spritsail yard.

Thank you guys.

Before installing the yards on the mast, it was necessary to make the belaying pins.

Before installing the yards on the mast, I added a few more details - mast and shroud cleats, spare masts and yards, rigging of the rudder.

Thank you guys for all likes and comments. Today only answer to the question from dvm27. The footropes are fixed in position with CA glue. Unsightly excess glue is removed with a debonder if necessary.
