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.
-
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

Thanks, Glenn, for your log with details. It is very kind of you to share your difficulties Bonne journée/ Have a nice day

Ancient Mediterranean Ships, Il Trabaccolo
François de Saint Nazaire replied to OldSaltf's topic in Nautical/Naval History
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 !

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?

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.

Hello, Just for information the english version is available now ! 😉
