Project is not dead, I am still building the carriages. Life has a bad habit of getting in the way of me working on my Jalouse...

Hi Thomas, I,ve started on the second planking, looking at your copper plating, did you clean the copper plates before gluing them to the hull. Regards
No I did not clean the plates, I wanted them to turn green/brownish. I actually used to run my hand on the plating a lot to make sure it would aged faster. I have never really liked the shiny copper plating, just seems weird to me for some reason.

Hi Thomas, I received this model as a Xmas present from my children last year, but was too nervous to start the build. However seeing your build has given me some confidence to start the build. Your coppering looks great, this is the part I will be dreading.
Glad to hear more people are building the Jalouse. Such a nice model! Let me know if you have any questions and things

Any parts more frustrating than others? I’m currently at this stage and doing it for the first time following two references from build logs. Both have helped me immensely, but there’s no getting around doing it 🙂.
H.M. Cutter Alert by Blue EnsignHMS Speedy by Delf
Both have great insight.
The gun tackles are a bit problematic, I cannot seem to find the right tension and then there is the serious issue of making a proper rope coil at the end.

Jalouse is not dead, I have just been on a research trip in France for my job! I finished the coppering which is now looking nice and green. The patina is really growing on me. Started the deck fittings, my favourite part of the model. If anyone has a trick to rig guns fully without losing their mind, let me know...

Mate, your Jalouse is looking splendid. The white below is very nice looking indeed!

You didn't all that coppering in one day? Amazingly accurate!
I have tried coppering so far only once, and that (HM Schooner Pickle) ended -also for other reasons- in the waste bin. So I decided to paint my Jalouse white...
The beauty of being on a holiday... I think future ships will also not be coppered I find it excruciatingly annoying and rather unpleasant for the overall aspect of the ship

A few pictures of the progress made in the last few days. For the first time in my life, I have to admit myself rather disappointed by the quality of wood Caldercraft provided. The stuff for the deck was really poorly cut, with the width of it being anywhere from 2mm to 4mm. The model is still looking nice though!

Pictures are now working, sorry again for the mix up! Hope you guys enjoy this, Jalouse is a great model.

(Sorry for the mix up, I put it in the wrong category by mistake!)
As the lockdown continues here in the UK, I have been steadily working on my Jalouse. Just finished the Ballahoo a few weeks back.
Here are some pictures of both. I do hope this log can help future builders of the Jalouse as there seems to be no logs at all on this beautiful ship.
Cheers,
Tom

The Diana is most definitely one of the most beautiful kit out there. You really are doing it justice
