    Bonjour, The trabaccolo traditionally carried a smaller boat, which was sometimes towed behind. However, during long journeys, this boat was usually secured on deck. It was typically lashed to the outboard side of the lanyards with a simple rope, either resting against the shrouds or sometimes placed on a dedicated stand located on the deck. The construction of the ship's boat is divided into three main stages. The first involves creating the mould (or 'jig') for the model's hull and preparing it for planking. The second step is the installation and sanding of the transom and planking the mould with two layers of veneer, followed by the removal of the mould. The third stage consists of fitting the outer keel and performing the final adjustments to the model's hull, both inside and out.

    And now the stove. The door needs to be sanded a little bit to reduce the thickness. 😉

    Chris, I hope the option to build La Tourterelle is still alive... with the French flag....😉 We also have people that like vexillology. Histoire du drapeau français - Société Française de Vexillologie

    Hello, Bonjour, I made a small adjustment to the design of the pump. I have done the pump according to a Danish drawing provided by Bruce D. Compared to the kit's pump, it looks better. I hope so. link : https://arkivalieronline.rigsarkivet.dk/en/billedviser?epid=17149179#189467,31913228
  27. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello Bruce, Is it possible to have the link to get the original drawings of the pumps? Thank you.
  28. François de Saint Nazaire
    Good news, I will follow your blog with pleasure. I did as you said
  29. François de Saint Nazaire
    I've made some progress on the fore part. The modifications from the kit are the davit and the bitt.

    Hello, what is the difference between the corvettes La Tourterelle and L'Unité, since they were of the same class ? Why do you prefer La Tourterelle ?
  31. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, The trabaccolo is ready to be launched! I took the pictures outside where the light is better. Have a nice day. 😄
  32. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Waterway and "corsia" fitted. The deck of the trabaccolo was wide and noticeably convex, with a thicker plank in the center called a "corsia"
  33. François de Saint Nazaire
    Simply beautiful Jacques

    Hello, Sorry it is a french link Les 13 couleurs de Vauban | L’histoire d’un riche patrimoine historique français Vauban's 13 colours" therefore represent the official colour palette used in the Royal Navy under Louis XIV.

    Hello, I've finished the deck and all the treenails (around 500). 😅 (I reduce the distance between the line of treenails) For the treenails, I did the following: Applied the wood filler (Fondur in France) Marked the position of each treenail Drilled the holes (0,3mm) . ~10 drill bits to finish ! Filled the holes with a mixture of glue and colorant (sienna) Removed the excess mixture

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.
