Finish laying this part of the beam and finish painting the lower layer. The next step will be the outfitting construction of this part.

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for your like. This part of the outfitting process is slow but I think it is the most obvious part of the internal structure; it also determines the exact positioning of the upper part. So I had to be very careful about what I did. At the moment, the progress is relatively smooth, follow-up will be relatively easy.

Hello,
only a short update. I carved and painted a little over the weekend.

Hello and many, many thanks for your likes and comments.
My garden took at least a lot of my attention the last week, so the shipyard had to pause a little. The beakhead bulkhead is now fast installed and yesterday I build the seats of ease in front of the round houses. Today I started with the cat-hats and -tails. I think, the pictures speak for themselves.

Cleats for the topgallant lifts and royal lifts
I almost forgot!
Wasn't there something else with the shrouds? There are a few details I'd better mention now.
The description of the monograph for La Créole itself does not clearly state how the lifts for the topgallant yards and royal yards are to be attached. As far as I could tell from the description, the lifts were attached somewhere in the area of the top. On the original photos of the Paris model of the La Créole, you can clearly see two cleats on each of the topmast shrouds. Until now, I could not clearly identify the ropes used there. However, after some research, my suspicions were confirmed. These are the lifts for the topgallant yards and royal yards.
Source: Monograph by J. Boudriot, detail of original model
The next step was to clarify the shape and size of these cleats, a total of 3 x 4 pieces, which I derived from the original photograph and drew.
I made the cleats from service tree. The following pictures show different stages of the production.
The last picture shows the result.
Attaching these cleats to the topmast shrouds will probably be another small challenge to master.

Completition: Ratlines for the topmast shrouds - Enfléchures
It has been quite a while since I started attaching the ratlines for my French corvette at the lower shrouds.
Today I was able to tie the last ratline knots at the starboard side of the topmast shrouds and with the last binding the chapter -ratlines- was finished.
Before I start to make the yards, I still have some rest work to do for the standing rigging, e.g.
- Fixing the topgallant shrouds
- Catharpins for the topmast and topgallant shrouds
- Fore topmast- and fore topgallant stay
To be continued ...

Hello,
thanks to everyone else for your interest.
What is the saying?
Little by little the bird builds its nest ...😁
So it goes on here with small steps ... ratline for ratline ...
Continuation: ratlines for the topmast shrouds - Enfléchures
The last stage for the installation of the ratlines (ø 0.25 mm) was initiated, namely with the final fixing of the lanyards of the starboard side topmast shrouds.
On the following picture I have marked the corresponding place with an arrow, where work is going on at the moment.
The next picture shows the fixing of a taljereep with the tweezers.
After fixing the lanyards of the topmast shrouds, the knotting of the ratlines can be started in the way already described several times.
To be continued ...

Continuation: Cleats for the topgallant lifts and royal lifts
Since tying the cleats to the shrouds did not turn out to be as problematic as originally feared, I went a step further to approximate the original method of execution.

The following picture shows the result:
Accordingly, I will now attach the cleats for the lifts of the topgallant yards and royal yards to the topmast shrouds.

Mostly it comes differently than one thinks!
So in this case. While I had thought that binding the filigree cleats to the topmast shrouds would be very difficult, my first attempt showed that it would be relatively easy.
Before I started with the shrouds for this model, I first built a corresponding jig for experimental purposes. This served later among other things also with decisions for attaching the ratlines. And now it served to test how best to attach the cleats to the shrouds.
The trick, if you can call it that at all, is to tie the cleats comfortably to the shrouds from the front, and then simply turn them backwards to the desired position.
To be continued ...
