Thank you for your comments and the likes received, always much appreciated. The waterway has been made and the first planks have found their place on the deck. As Mark already mentioned in his build log, this is a bit tricky because they are twisted and have changing angles. Make decorative strips, measure the height and mark them with the help of tape. Thank you for your visit and see you soon.

Hello Chuck @Chuck, thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I am following your construction of the Speedwell with great interest, as I plan to start it after Le Rochefort and La Palme. I bought the books almost two years ago and have already enlarged the plans to 1:36. @giampieroricciRicci, thank you too for your comment, it is always a pleasure when you stop by my blog, see you in October in Evina.

Good morning Mark @No Idea, thank you. Yes, the side pieces are awful. The first time I tried Adrian's method, but I failed. Then I remembered your report and tried this, it was much better, but still not satisfactory. Somehow I can't draw well enough to get the same effect. So I went back to the method I tried with the small side pieces on La Palm. First cut out the curved shape and then the side profile. It worked very well.

Hello everyone, I've been back on my little harbor yacht for almost 14 days. The plan is to work on Le Rochefort until August. I have completed all of the deck beams and will now install and adjust them piece by piece. At the moment I'm busy with the metal work on the pump house and the pumps themselves and will show another update soon.

Hello Adrian, I read today in the French forum that you are there in Evian. I'm happy to see your models in person.

Thank you for your interest and the likes received, always much appreciated. Well there is just a small update on the starboard side. The lower whale has been fitted, the bulb/bottle has been provisionally fixed in its future position and the bow area has been fitted with the decorative timbers. At the same time, I started on the port side

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.
