    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 Ensign

    HMS 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.

    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

    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,

    Here is Ballahoo and the beginning of Jalouse:
