    Hello Chris Could you tell more about this project ? 😉 Is it a Stove from the 17th century or 18th century ? The arming and fitting of English ships of war, 1600-1815 by Lavery, Brian :

    Very good news for the "froggies"! I'm very interrested La Tourterelle : A 24-gun french frigate built in Honfleur and commissioned in May 1794. Displacing 350 tons with a length of 38.20 meters, she was captured by the British frigate HMS Lively off Cape Lizard on 13 March 1795. Renamed HMS Tourterelle, the corvette was sunk in 1816 to serve as a breakwater in Bermuda.

    Hello, The hull planking is in progress. There are still 14 strakes to go on each side, so the work could be finished in approximately one month. The garboard strake has been fitted. I taper and bevel all the strakes
  25. François de Saint Nazaire
    Thanks, Glenn, for your log with details. It is very kind of you to share your difficulties Bonne journée/ Have a nice day

    The book by Gilberto Penzo is very interesting. Another good reference is "Trabaccoli e Pieleghi" by Mario Marzari. There is also Bateaux et batellerie de Venise by G.B. Rubin de Cervin. And a book from Luciano Keber. the translation in french is not good !
  27. François de Saint Nazaire
    hello. I suggest to read the document "SIMPLE HULL PLANKING TECHNIQUES FOR BEGINNERS" link : ia902806.us.archive.org/28/items/boatbuildingmanual/hull planking project.pdf

    Hello, Thank you for sharing the pictures. Pavel Nikitin is clearly a strong reference. I'm curious, how did you achieve the color of the deck?
  29. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, I've started the planking process. The first two planking strips below the main deck are 4 mm wide, and the next four below them are 5 mm wide along their entire length. I'm installing one strip per day ! All planking strips are made from 1.5 mm x 5 mm strips. After the first six strips, the remaining strips will require tapering and shaping. @+

    Hello, I start to fill the spaces between the bulkheads, particularly the bow and stern, with balsa.
  31. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Just for information the english version is available now ! 😉
  32. François de Saint Nazaire
    I finish the interior of the model. We now prepare the model for planking the hull. Begin by sanding and beveling the edge surfaces of the bulkheads at both the bow and stern. This will allow the planking strips to fit correctly. For the bow, bevel the bulkheads while preserving the integrity of their rear (aft) surfaces. Bulkhead 2 requires the most significant bevel. Additionally, bevel the outer side edges of components 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4, and then affix them in their designated positions. For the stern, bevel the bulkheads, ensuring the front (forward) surfaces remain untouched. Bulkhead 14 requires the most extensive beveling. Similarly, bevel the outer side edges of components 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, and 14.4, and then secure them in their respective locations. For the next step, I will fill the spaces between the bulkheads, particularly the bow and stern, with balsa supplied by MarisStella in the box.

    Thank you Jacques, I've learned many things. I'm sure you will find the answers. The picture comes from Mario Marzari's book (Trabaccoli)

    Hello, For the trabaccolo, the crew consisted of a captain (pàron), often a co-owner and three to seven sailors depending on the size of the trabaccolo. The master could also be a co-owner of several units. This was the case with seafaring families. Members of the same family served on different boats belonging to several members of that family. This way, the risks were also spread out. The trabaccolo could be commanded by a sailor who had embarked as early as their twelfth year. The "master" was not only responsible for the boat but also for the crew and supplies. The proceeds from cabotage were distributed among all the crew members after paying all the expenses. It sometimes happened that the master's wife accompanied him on board. This could pose some problems. The sailors lodged in the bow above the hawsers and the master in the stern in a spacious cabin. The crew cabin for four sailors is finished. I've started fitting the pillars and the supporting knees, also known as hanging knees.

    Hello Jacques, I will follow your project with interest. Lanveoc is a small town near Brest in French Brittany. Bon courage Tonnerre de Brest ! as captain Haddock said
  36. François de Saint Nazaire
    Bonjour, I've just finished installing the beds in the aft cabin. The ladder is in place, although it is not positioned as close to the wall as indicated in the plan. I hope this will not cause any problems later. The horizontal bed boards need to be sanded to fit properly in the cabin. I had also a small piece of wood to fill a hole close the ladder. The 'paron' should be approximately 160cm tall, which is 5.0cm at the given scale. I got it from the Ancre edition, and it looks like the naval architecture in Boudriot's books.😉 The next step will be the forward beds. 😅

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.
