Thank you for your interest. Also to everyone else who left a like. Just a small update with an attempt to implement what is shown in the plans.
-
Hello everyone, I have very little time at the moment as I am renovating the lower floor of my house. But every now and then I do find myself drawn to the workshop. Here are a few progress pictures. I looked at the plans again and noticed that the planks seemed to be overhanging. @G. Delacroix was able to help me and confirmed it. So I dismantled the first two planks and replaced them.

Hello Mark, Adrian didn't describe it in the book either. I couldn't find it in any construction report in the French forum either. Gerard replied to me today and confirmed my suspicion.
-
Good morning Mark, fantastic work on the planks, as always a feast for the eyes. However, I am not 100% sure that the two boards are flush. I am currently sending a request to Gerard about this. When I look at the plans, I get the impression that the two boards are a little longer to create a more harmonious transition.

Hello everyone and happy new year, at the moment I have little time to build An Le Rochefort or La Palme, so I continue to work on small details on the runner.
-
Ben, I congratulate you on completing this wonderful model, it turned out fantastically. Syren's kit is simply fantastic and of high quality, just like all of her models. I wish you a happy new year 2025.

Albert and Mustafa, thank you for the encouraging comment and everyone else for your likes. This weekend I was visiting France with the German delegation and was able to take part in a great meeting with my French colleagues. Here are a few impressions.
-
Good morning colleagues, the holiday was too short as always but that's life. Now to Le Rochefort, the whales have been installed, the port side has also been planked and the captain's cabin has got its doors. I would also like to thank you for your visit, the comments and your likes.

Hello Durxey and Mark, thank you.

Good morning everyone, the work on the Le Rochefort is coming to an end. A few small things will be done in the next few days, but nothing earth-shattering before the summer break begins. The Admiralty and yours truly are heading south and we will spend two lovely weeks on the coast of Croatia. Now a few final pictures, this time in original size with all the parts made so far and shown dry on the ship. This will also be the construction stage with which I will attend the international meeting in Evian in October. What still needs to be done after the holiday is the construction of the transport and exhibition showcases. I would like to thank you again for all the comments and likes, but also for the odd tip and the odd criticism, which is just as important as praise.

Hello Mike, thank you for your nice comment, your work is also wonderful and precise. Now a few smaller details that are very time-consuming.
-
I can only agree with Mark, G. Delacroix is always very helpful, and when I have questions I always turn to him, although in the French forum. I can only recommend it, there you will find around 15 Le Rochefort and a chapter with general questions specifically for Le Rochefort. Among others, Adrian @a.sorolla is always there to help and advise.

We continue with a small update, expansion of the rear area with the small beds and cupboards.

Hi Chuck, very nice result, it looks absolutely fantastic.

HMS VICTORY 1765 by albert - 1/48

Fantastic work, Albert. -
Hello Albert, thank you and thank you for all the likes you have received. A little update from the little harbor yacht.
-
Good morning Mark, a really nice result despite all the circumstances. You did the only right thing by removing the floorboards and putting up new ones in that spot, even if it's difficult.

Hello everyone, a few small updates from my harbor yacht.

USS Constitution by mtbediz - 1:76

Hello Mustafa, as always very nice and careful work. Nice explanation of how to build ladders. Thanks for showing. -
Hello everyone, the deck is finished and has all the iron nails in place, now it's time for the bulwark planks.
-
Hello everyone, thank you for the likes. The deck is finished with the planks, I don't want to add anything else to give a good view of the interior. Testing the various structures, anchor winch holder, etc. everything is in place and fits perfectly. Next up is the nails, two rows are already done.

L'Amarante by marsalv - 1:36 - POF
Tobias replied to marsalv's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Wonderful start Vladimir, I'm looking forward to your new project. -
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.
