  1. My first 6 frames were unfortunately for the wood stove, I had milled them wrong. To date, I have completed half of the frames.
  2. Hello dear forum members, I'm new to scratch building and would like to build my first ship in POF style. Regarding my project: I am building the La Palme 1744 on a scale of 1:36, it is the first Corvette of a 3-series, its sister ships are the L' Anémone (1747) and the L' Amarante (Dec. 1747) whose plans were drawn up by Joseph- Louis Ollivier, who was only 15 when he began construction. I use the monograph "L' AMARANTE" by Gérard Delacroix as a template. Well I hope that I get your support with tips and tricks, as well as constructive criticism.
  3. Hi folks, first of all, thank you for your nice and positive comments, much appreciated. It's that time again for a little update. Starboard and port side scuppers completed and forward railing completed.
  4. Hello everyone, in the last few weeks I haven't been able to do anything on the Lugger because I've moved my workshop to a new room. Yesterday it was time for the first chips to fall. I have started to install the first water drains. 2x2mm brass tube sawn and blued. And here 3 pictures of my new shipyard I'm far from finished with the shipyard, it will take some time until everything is in place.
  5. I have now finished nailing the starboard and port side, burnished the nails and oiled everything (tung oil). Now I'll start with the railing.
  6. Hello everyone and have a wonderful good day. In the last few days I've started with the top planking and the railing. Meanwhile I don't use much of the actual kit anymore and try to build everything according to Ancre's plans. Photos to follow.
  7. Hello everyone, I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year. Now a new update of my work on Le Coureur. In the last few weeks I have attached the planks to the deck, set tree nails and converted the anchor winch according to the Ancre plans. The construction of the deck started and the interior planking was installed.
  8. Hello everyone, what's new: make a new rudder because I didn't like the original, and finish the stern.
  9. Hi everyone, in the past few days I've been finishing boxes and barrels and filling the hold and installing the beams for the ship deck.
  10. Hello everyone, what has happened in the last few days, well, I provided the doors with liquid glass and continued with the interior decoration. Sheets and pillows sewn as well as 5 sacks, 11 barrels made as good as possible. Unfortunately, I don't own a lathe or turning machine, so a mandrel and the drill had to do its humble job, I'm not yet satisfied with the result. Fittings (barrel rings) as well as frames and lids still have to be made. I wish everyone a nice evening.
  11. So first of all thanks for the likes. Hello and have a nice Sunday evening. I haven't been able to build too much on Le Coureur in the last week. Now it was time to construct the partition wall with the doors, but I had to find out that everything didn't fit somehow. The wall and the doors were about 2-3mm too high so I started to reduce the size of the floor and grind down the bulkhead of the ammunition chamber that brought about 1mm. Next I put in the beam and the walls on the left and right. Then I built a door frame because I really wanted movable doors. I was able to implement everything and I am happy that everything worked out. Oh yeah, the stove and the dresser were the smaller projects this week.
  12. Good morning guys. In the last few days I couldn't do too much at Le Coureur, but I would like to show you a little update.
  13. Hello everyone, thank you very much for your interest and your likes. In the last few days I have constructed the loading area in the middle of the ship. In doing so, I deviated a little from the plans and brought in some personal inspiration. I also put in support walls below the loading platform. I filled one side with ballast stones. Between decks and bulkheads were made. At the front bulkhead there is a hatch to keep it moving. I aligned the frame of the hatch on double-sided adhesive tape and then milled a groove with the milling machine. I also milled the sliding door. I am happy that everything works. thanks for watching Tobias
