Hi Chris,

yes I wanna do this and yes it is paler than the Swiss Pear, I love this one more and if you put a wood protection on it, it looks even better

Look at this picture I put this on (I don´t know the English word for this)

Good Morning Nils,

I have attached the

eyelets on my HMS

Supply with superglue,

it worked very well

This barge was used also for expeditions Bill and the Name " Gros Ventre - Big Belly" is right because this ship could take very much charge.  More than other ones and this is why they named her "Big Belly" Yes, it is a funny name........but whatever   

Yes Sir, take a chair but you have to wait until next weekend then comes popcorn and beer..........hopefully

Today came to the pear-wood in different strengthen but not the plans     I love this very warm wood and the beautiful wood grain

Hello Nils, very nice progress but I think the eyelets slightly too large for this scale aren't they????

You doing a very fantastic work Mark, very nicely built and all the details......great, absolutely great   

Hello Dick,

yes I want to try it, I mean "full framed" and it is absolutely great that so many guys  have the plans and maybe you can help me with my experiment "scratch build"      

I'm still waiting on the plans, they are now one week on the way and France is a neighbor from Germany but it takes so much time until they are here. I know I'm impatient  

Incredible work 1/250 unbelievably with all the tiny things and the rigging......great absolutely great

Hello to everyone.......!

This is my main work - The Sovereign of the Seas from DeAgostini  and if I wait for the next components (only once a months) I work on the  "Le Gros Ventre"

I started last year in august and so she looks today, if you want I can put more pictures  from the beginning on. We are still not as far as in England, we are in the construction stage 36 from 135

and so I built the cannons and have them finished with gold leaf

and so I'll refine all gold parts from the Sovereign and there are many of them

here is the dinghy   

Thank you Remco for your Information and please make a picture for me.

Although it is too early but preparation is everything   

You are welcome too Chris.....wow in 1/36 this is big and you can Install more details....great, I can´t wait to see the first pictures 

Your Build Log is just incredible......unbelievably. You are doing a fantastic job on this ship.....great......!

Remco I have a question to you......I found this on your first page

have you done this yourself or did you buy this?????? And when you buy this, where can I get those things. Sorry but I do not know the name of the things on this picture 

Me too Nils....me too 

You are very welcome Brian, take a seat an enjoy  yourself   

Just brilliant work Nils, nice idea that you can remove the the upper deck. Great great great 

Hello Mike,

I have not the experience but I think.......learning by doing.......

Thank you that you look further to my Build Log  and enjoy your Day, we have nice weather here, sunny with no clouds......coooool....!

Hi Folks,

today I started my new Project and my first Scratch Build Log.

The "Gros Ventre"  the Kings Gabare according to plans from Gérard Delacroix. 

I want to build the ship with pear wood and I hope i can handle it   

Here are my first steps:

threaded bars....I hope this is right

washers

nuts

and the Woodparts

Now I´m waiting  for the plans, they are one the way to me. 

Stay tuned 

Hi Dick,

Wow, that looks great so far, incredible progress.

Today I start this project too and I look forward with you to watch your Buildlog

Greetings from Germany

It looks very good, nice laser work

I'd never saw that before.....two halves of a ship....great. When you are ready with plankening you glue them together??? Good Idea and I think it is easyer to put the planks on.

Thank you Daniel, now I learnd a new word....cods, cooool. I have problems with the English shipwords and google does not find everything

Thank you Eddie, I'm waiting for new Woodstripes and then it goes on

Fantastic job looks great

Incredible work, absolut fantastic

It looks fantstic, nice coloring, great
