    Thank you very much for your explanations and references (Romme's dictionary). So, perhaps the use of quarter blocks for footropes is a mistake?

    Dear Johan, I was very impressed by your model, your approach, and your knowledge. I responded to your last post because I am currently working on the rigging of the main yard for the Granado (Bomb vessel's kit by Jotika). In the book (AOTS by P Goodwin), they mention quarter blocks for footropes (see picture). What is the difference between a quarter block and a double block (french translation "poulie de bas-cul" by David H. Roberts )? What is the function of quarter blocks? Are they also used for footropes ? Again "Bravo votre corvette est magnifique"

    hello friends; Mast in progress
  19. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Hello gentlemen, Being worked on the bowsprit. I might sand the cleats down a bit. Your comments are always welcome! Have a nice day
  20. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Soon, the mast and the rigging will be done. It's already been 8 months! This kit is great. I'm currently assembling the channels, chain plates and deadeyes I'll likely wait until the shrouds are fitted to ensure the chainplates are secured to the hull at the correct angle.

    Thank you Brian, For the rigging, it was inspired by a the book of David Antscherl. I will not fit the training tackle. I will not coil the rope like a "fromage". It was not possible to used tackle hooks (too small!). Have a nice day
  23. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Fitted the anchor lining and fenders. Fitted the side steps (doing it myself). Fitted the tiller and tiller housing. Starting the rigging of the main deck gun. Fitted the hawse hole bolster (added a piece of tin to the hole).
  24. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    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
  25. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Transom decoration in place, stern light window frame also Taffrail capping and counter rail fitted.
  26. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Hello Chris, Very nice. I'm a bit surprised by the size of the draft mark. When will you propose french ship 😉
  27. Jorez de Saint Nazaire
    Well, I've made some nice progress since the last update, and am just now getting caught up with the photos. The windlass and the belfry Galley flue painted and installed. Quarterdeck rail installed with the finger and thumb timberheads and the main brace sheave block Pumps fitted ans painted (pumps close to the mizzen mast moved forward because it was to close the quaterdeck bulkhead) Jeer bitts & main sail topsail sheet bitts fitted ans painted in red ladders main deck to quarterdeck and main deck to forecastle fitted

    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.
