    Thank you, Brian. As you may notice, I was inspired by Timmo and Joe V for the colors of the transom. I also added rudder pendants with cable as mentioned in Wolfram zu Mondfeld's book. Have a nice day

    Hello, During holidays I did the rudder ( I'm not so happy of the result, the rudder pintle straps and the hull gudgeon straps are not fully in line with the AOTS), deck guns and carriage (without the rigging I will do it later) and I start the windlass with belfry (nice piece from Jotika). As you notice I will not paint the hull in white. May be my last post before the new year. Ami modéliste je vous souhaite un excellent réveillon !

    Hello, Stern fascia and stern counter doned and also the famous quaterdeck bulkhead. My friends suggest to paint the bulkhead in red instead of the french blue and to paint the decal in gold. Quaterdeck fitted and planked with the grating, The quaterdeck bulwarks is finish and the capping rails in progress.

    Brian, Glad to see that you're back. I understand that the instructions are not so clear for the rigging. I discover Danish oil. How do you explain these choice ?

    Hi, The whale and the second planking from the wale to the false keel is finished. The second planking is laid using 1x4 mm walnut. The color of the walnut is very heterogenous. I used the darker for the bottom. I did 3 dropstrakes close to the sternpost. Next step the upper gun deck and may be the sternpost and the stern counter even it should be to a later stage according to the instructions. For the white painting I think that is too early.

    Hi josh, very nice you really upgrade the kit. Sometime it would be interesting to use a figurine to evaluate the scale.1:70. Again bravo !
  15. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hi Josh, it is up to you but take care if you mastic too much it will be visible. even painted in black details of the hull (example the graiin of the wood) is visible at the end. Courage ; "Fortitudine vincimus"
  16. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hi Josh, Could you give me the link to these instructions. Thank you in advance
  17. François de Saint Nazaire
    thank you friends , many hours of sanding !
  18. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hi Josh, I remembered that the last planking (fore part) was difficult with always "clinker effect" Do you soaked the planking ? I used also a electric plank bending (from AMATI). it is magic Before to start the second planking I suggest to fit the keel. Very nice stealer !
  19. François de Saint Nazaire
    I blackened the chain but it possible to buy black one. It is what I did for the command of the steering
  20. François de Saint Nazaire

    Hi for the propeller ( I bought a brass one with 2 blades from Raboesch) ; type A diameter 30 mm M4 left (code 145-02). Just for information. FJZ
  23. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hi, At this stage it could be good to fit the garboard Plank but it is up to you. Your log is very clear. For the stern the ply former have the advantage to give the good geometry (volume). Have a nice day
  24. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hi, First planking completed. 2 stealers at the stern, rabbet for the stem. 1 filler block for the stern and of course hull plank tapering. a good training before the second planking. Next step the Wale !
