Jeronimo got a reaction from Mike Y in French 64 Gun Ship 1729 by Jeronimo
Hello.
I have found some problems and errors in the construction of the model.
It does not affect the whole structure, but it bothers me a lot and is annoying.
I took a creative break and I decided to make a completely new start.
This time in 1/48 scale.
Ich habe einige Probleme und Fehler bei dem Bau des Modells gefunden.
Es betrifft nicht die ganze Struktur, aber es stört mich schon gewaltig und ist ärgerlich.
Ich machte eine schöpferische Pause und entschied mich dann für einen kompletten Neuanfang.
Diesmal im Maßstab 1/48.

What a shock to scroll thru so many photos of great work and then find you are starting over. May I ask how you fashion each rib. Bandsaw? Drum sander?

May I ask - what were the main issues that prompted you to start over?

Well, that is bold! Also, 1:48 will be easier to build, I think. The beginning of the new model looks great.

Good grief! What a decision to make, to start over.
But excellent start on the 1:48 🙂

Thanks Druxey and Oliver. Well who know's, maybe if I practice a bit more I just may get good at it, taking pictures that is. The table is a blessing. It has height adjustment and tilt now and its a back saver. Wish I had done this years ago and really getting lot's of use out of it . Really make's working on her a lot more enjoyable. Again thanks guy's.

Well good sir's I just about have the forward capstan completed, just need to add a few more items to the upper capstan and then I can get started on the main one. Gary

Thought I would add some close up photo's of Montague. I was on the NRG site and came across the article by Kurt on taking photo's of ones work and figure I needed to practice a bit. Guess I have to find a little space for a photo booth when taking good photo's of my ship. Well guys one day maybe I get the hang of taking good photo's, hope you enjoy the close up. Gary

Hi guy's. Here's a update on the build but this time it is more about her building board. I add a way of being able to tilt her from side to side which helps keep the back in tack and a lot easier getting to thing's. I worked on a couple of hanging knee's and being tilted made it a lot better. I can't take the Credit for it which goes to Alan/AON and the tech info on it. Hope you enjoy the pictures and any question will be more then happy to answer them

At LA CRÉOLE the stun'sail boom irons probably looked like this:

Jeronimo reacted to G. Delacroix in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Hello,
At that time, the studding sail boom is either placed at 45° or forward to the yardarm in order to slide into this fittings :

Jeronimo reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Continued: Clarifying the yardarms
After an extensive web search I came across this book: "Description de l'art de la Mâture" (published in 1778) by Charles Nicolas Romme.
Below are excerpts of the yardarms: Fig. 38 clearly explains the "oval" cross-sections in the area of the cleats on the yardarms.
In connection with the design of the yardarms for the La Créole, the question of the chronological classification naturally arises: The Le Rivoli is from 1810, the Le Sphinx from 1829 and the Le Neptune from 1836. In this respect, this is for the epoch of the La Créole applicable.
Apparently I'm not the only one who stumbled across this problem. So thanks again to G. Delacroix who gave me the crucial hint.
For my model, however, the question now arises as to how I can reconcile this detail with the drawings by J. Boudriot. I would prefer to stick to the original model. Unfortunately I don't have any meaningful detailed pictures. Ultimately, I will have to make a decision about this detailed design, even with the risk that it will not be entirely correct.

@G. Delacroix
Thank you in advance for the valuable information.
I obviously misinterpreted the drawing by J. Boudriot. Now following your hint I see that it only works graphically as an oval.
I also researched my picture collection again and found a picture of the Le Neptune 1836 from the Musée national de la Marine Paris. A yard can be seen there as a reserve, comparable to that of the Rivoli.
Allowed me to include your drawing and that of J. Boudriot in this example.

I also found a very interesting picture of a yardarm from the mizzen topsail yard of Le Sphinx 1829.
Source: Musée national de la Marine Paris
Will now try to make the yardarms of the topsail yards for the La Créole in the oval version according to the drawing by J. Boudriot.
I am very open and grateful for further hints and examples.

Hello,
Please note that the cleats on the yardarms are not square, they have this shape (the front part of the yard is at the top of the picture):

Hello,
I am very grateful for your interest and the nice comments, as well as for the many LIKES. That motivates immensely.
Continuation: Production of the yards - Vergues
We continued with the production of the yards. With the help of G. Delacroix I was able to clarify a few questions about the dimensions of the yards. Accordingly, I used the following table for the dimensions of the masts, yards and spars of the "La Blonde", which is identical in construction to the "La Créole".
Source: Monograph on La Créole by J. Boudriot, page 56
There, among other things, the diameters are given in addition to the lengths. As a rule, the small diameter of a yard is 2/5 of the large diameter, as I could learn from G. Delacroix.
As you can see on the following pictures, the lower yards with the studding sail booms have been made so far in the meantime. Various details on the yard arms, such as for the installation of sheaves for the sheets still require final clarification.
Also with the studding sail booms there are still questions about details, as shown in the following example of the model of the "Le Cotre 1830".
I would be very grateful for any suggestions and hints.

Hello colleagues,
I am very pleased that despite a long break there is still interest in the progress of my model.
A hearty thank you for it.
Completion: Standing rigging for jib and outer jib boom - Bâton de foc et bâton de clinfoc
After the final work on the standing rigging for the jib boom and the outer jib boom, I can also finish this chapter. So the standing rigging for the French corvette is finished except for a few minor details.
Accordingly, here are a few pictures that give an overview of the bowsprit rigging.
Soon I will dedicate myself to the production of the yards. So I am looking forward to work more intensively with wood again.
To be continued ...

@Wishmaster
Thank you vor the kind words. And to all the others, thanks for the LIKES,
The days are getting shorter again, so the times spent in the basement shipyard are getting a bit longer again ... 😁
Continuation: Standing rigging for jib and outer jib boom - Bâton de foc et bâton de clinfoc
This is a continuation of my last construction report.
To finish the rigging work for the standing rigging of the bowsprit with the jib boom and outer jib boom, the jib boom and flying jib boom stays still had to be fastened. The jib boom was stabilized laterally with two jib guys on each side, one of which was fixed by means of a tackle.
Source: Monograph La Creole by J. Boudriot p. 129
For the detail of the tackle I followed the model of L'Inflexible and the Atlas du Génie maritime.
Source: Extract from Atlas du Génie maritime, annexe No. 1, Pl. 10
Attached are two pictures of the implementation and the completed tackles, consisting of double blocks. The ends of the jib guys are then fastened by means of thimbles and seizings.
See you soon ...
