  1. Thank you for the compliments, I'm glad you like it.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Hello everyone, what's new: make a new rudder because I didn't like the original, and finish the stern.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Hello everyone, a little update on what has happened in my little shipyard in the last few days.
  12. Hello and have a nice good evening, today the second page was finished and is ready to get its first coat of paint and for the next few days I will be busy with nailing.
  13. Thanks for the likes and the nice comments. Filing the clinker is not that bad at all. Now I would like to show you a little update about the second page. I hope that I will be finished in the next few days and can start with the inside. Wishing a nice evening.
  14. So it's September now and I've started with the second page, but I'm not going to plank this completely. This is the status from the weekend, new updates will be available in the next few days.
  15. I need about a week for the planking. In the next step I started to provide the planks with copper nails and then blackened them. It's crazy work 🤪
  16. In the next step I started with the load compartment construction and decided to continue with the exterior planking.
