Hello Jacques, The model will be fully decked. The cabins will be a little bit visible through the hatch! -
Hello, I start the first planking of the deck. The deck surface is made of two layers of strips, the first one is 1, 5 x 5mm strips and the second is 0.5 x 5 mm strips. Fhe first central deck plank is 1.5x7mm, while all other planks are 1.5x5mm. Have a nice day

Hello Glen, I prefer the second one; it's a difficult choice. In the second one, the stone opens up the field because there's no border. I'm not sure if I'm being clear, but either way, it's beautiful! 🤔

Hello David, Have you caulked the orlop deck? Is it necessary if the deck isn't watertight? Have a nice day.
-
Hello Morten, Your model is very successful. A glass of wine is a great help.😉(picture N°4) Why don't you use elements supplied with the box (except for the hull)? Have a nice day
-
Hello, The wale and rubbing strake are in place. I took some freedom with the colors suggested by the instructions.😉
-
Hello Brian, You're starting the ratlines. Good luck – try not to count, there are a lot of them ! Have a nice day
-
Hello, The hull is finish. 😇 The next step will be the wale and rubbing strake. Have a nice WE
-
Hello David, Nice beginning. I will follow your log with pleasure. I am thinking of buying a Vanguard model one day. it s not your first one !
-
Gary, Better day after day. Bravo
-
Dear Gary, I fully agree with you that the shape of the stern is not satisfactory. The main reason may be insufficient sanding of frame 12 before planking. 😔
-
I had some pictures to complete these steps. I really like this model; it's very challenging and instructive.
-
It is a perfect adjustement. is it a flower the decoration ? Thank you for the explanations
-
Hello, I just finished the planking below the deck. The main challenge was to bend the strake from stem to stern to avoid a mix of color, even though it wouldn't have been a problem because the hull will be black. next step will be to sand and clean (remove glue) the hull. There is not a second chance, just one planking ! stern stem

Hello, You could use Quick Adhesive Wood Glue; it offers a quick grip in 2 minutes. My brand is SADER
-
Richard, Your model is very well done. Everything is clean and meticulous. Are the draught marks raised or flush with the hull ? have a nice day
-
Ronald, It's simply beautiful. Clearly a reference, and also a genuine wish to built a model created by Chris Watton.
-
Thanks, Ronald. To be honest, your hull is a reference. Your tips are welcome. The challenge is great because there isn't a second layer. 😉 Have a nice WE
-
Bonjour à tous, The planking of the hull is progressing day after day, timber by timber. The stern and stem are really difficult. I used all my clamps! I try to stay quiet and be patiente...😮💨
-
Beautiful picture. The butts of the stem planks are strange, aren't they ?
-
Thank you Chris. Don't forget your French followers 😉. For me, it will always be 'La Tourterelle' (The Original), even though I really like the novels by Patrick O'Brian.
-
Hello Chris, I confirm it's a pleasure to be backstage. Regarding the figurehead used for testing, I assume it's the original ? When you mentioned it matches the original, did you mean the one from La Tourterelle ? Thanks in advance.
