Hello Dear Friends,   the main armament of the la creole consisted of 20 30-pounder carronades.
First I made ​​a prototype, gonna learn how to make all the parts I need.
The production of the prototype can be seen in the following images.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Soon I will show you more pictures of the finished Carronade.
 

 

 

@ jaerschen
Thanks for the nice comment.
 
Hello,

in supplement to my previous reporting, I show still images to the 
suction strainer with pipe for the small seawater pump.

 

 

Hello Dear Friends,
thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate them a lot.
The bow section of the French corvette was completed.
Here you can see the bow, with the now mounted equipment parts.
You can see also the figurehead in some pics.

 

 

 

 
The small seawater pump on the bow was, among other things for the hygiene of the crew on board.
See the LINK.

 

Hello,
 
thank you for the kind comments.
Today I will show you some pictures to making the compass of the French corvette.
I hope you like them.

 

 

Hello,
thank you for your comments, Gyula.
 
There are some pictures illustrating the macking of guns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
So thats it for now, hope you like them.
 

Hello,
to build the capstan, was another challenge.
The first attempt was unsuccessful. So I started a second attempt.
The following figures show the manufacturing process.

1:60 HMS Naiad 1797
Part 147– Installing the Wheel 1
Posted 8/29/12
 
Its been a few weeks since the last update – a lot of summer chores had to get done.
 
The next major milestone is to get the quarterdeck framing finished back to the bulkhead that separates the captain’s quarters on the upper deck and to get the wheel and its ropes installed so the decking aft of that bulkhead along with the other work in the cabins can be completed. That part of the upper deck framing needs to be left open for the rigging of the steering gear..
 
The first picture shows the next five beams aft of the capstan installed
 
 

 
The carlings for the hatch coamings between the capstan and the wheel are also installed, as is one half of the simple upper deck partner for the mizzen mast. This has been bored for the steering rope but not yet for the mast. The rope is for the steering gear, which is one half rigged below the upper deck aft.
 
The next picture shows a closer view of this.
 
 

 
The starboard half of the mizzen step will be left off to allow visibility of the sheaves for the steering rope that are fitted right below it. The inauthentic plank endings in this picture will be covered by the captain’s cabin bulkhead. They had to be installed this way (and treenailed) so the beams above could be installed.
 
The wheel was made some time ago. The next picture shows a step in the modeling of the wheel support stanchions.
 

 
Stanchion patterns were pasted to a strip of boxwood in line with a centerline that had been marked (with the compass). The next picture shows the boring of the bearings in the top of the stanchions.
 
 

 
This sequence assured that the bearings would be centered on the strip. The stanchions were then cut out on the scroll saw. The next picture shows them glued together with a paper joint to permit their final shaping.
 
 

 
A short bit of dowel was placed between these parts in the bearing recesses to maintain the alignment for the final shaping.
 
The next picture shows the wheel mounted on the finished stanchions.
 
 

 
The wheel/stanchion assembly was glued to what will be the central deck plank. After this glue had set, two copper bolts were CA glued from the underside of the planking up into each stanchion for strength. The excess plank will be cut off later before this assembly is installed.
 
The next picture shows the assembly set on the deck beams.
 
 

 
Once this is installed the next adjacent planks will be slotted to take the steering rope. This cannot be done until the grating hatchways structure just forward of this are installed.
 
The next picture shows the coamings and head ledges for that structure being glued together.
 
 

 
Both these assemblies are still loose. The coaming structure will need to be finished, rounded up and have its gratings installed before final attachment. The plank under the wheel has been cut to size on its forward end, but still needs to be marked and cut on the aft end.
 
Stay tuned.
 
Ed

Congratulation Karl
 
It will be a nice presentation to see the model in 3 parts with the main advantage to be able to see inside, very clever idea.
 
Gaetan

Congratulations on finishing part 2 of your masterpiece Karl. When you have completed part 3, will they all fit together?

Hello Karl,
 
congratulations on finishing! The model is incredible, true masterpiece! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
 
Alexander

Congratulations on finishing a stunning piece of work, Karl.
 
I can hardly wait to see what's coming next!
 
John

Thanks for this great build log. I'm interested to see what is comeing next.

Stunning, amazing work Karl. Such precision... spectacular. I just found your build and will enjoy watching from now onward.
Fabulous!

Karl,
 
I rarely venture to the Scratch Built Section because it makes me soooo nervous (:-) Builds, such as yours are so "out-of-this-world" stunning that I then look at my efforts and need to improve so much. Examples, such as yours, make "all of us" as Karl just said stare for minutes at each photo gazing in wonder. Such a pleasure on the eyes....
 
I will spend more time learning, and ingesting ideas from this "side" of this great MSW forum. Your work of art is beyond superlatives. I have the Boudriot books, and may (one of these days) try something French (:-) PS: From a kit ha ha ha....
 
Again, yours is incredibly astonishing.
 
Regards,
 
Michael 

Congratulations Karl. Like many others, I look forward to Part 3.

Wonderful. Karl. I love the way you've included all the foremast spars and such.
 
Did you ever discuss your finish? It looks very natural.

I can't agree more, looking forward to the next project :-)

Karl,
 
   Everytime I see a new update of your I just sit and stare at them When are you going to write a book. When is part 3 coming to the forum. I need more, I am like a little kid at Christmas time looking in the old Sears Toy Catalog. Anyone remember that far back.

Congratulations Karl on finishing part 2 she's awesome!
 
I enjoyed watching you build her.

Aft Athwartships Aft Cabin Bulkhead
 
This bulkhead was made in similar fashion to the preceding one. The only differences are in the height and width, with the outer panels significantly narrower due to the width of the hull at that point. The doors and central panel are the same sizes as the forward bulkhead (camera distortion makes them look different to each other) :
 


 
  Danny

Thanks so much guys.
 
The second part of the fore platform is taking shape. The planking is treenailed, the scarph joint is simulated
 

 

 

 
Remco
 
ps Piet it's not on the drawing table yet....

Thank you Grant, Michiel, Mark, John and Brian.
 
I've (almost) finished the Forward Aft Bulkhead - only the hinges and locks to go. I spot-glued the upper cant to the underside of a spare quarterdeck beam and glued the three solid sections and four doors to the cant and each other :
 


 
Two pics of the assembly dry-fitted - very little modification was needed :
 


 
A closeup of one of the Cants for Brian. These are 3" square battens with a rounded top-outer edge. The sections of cant in the door openings will be cut out later :

Hi Remco.
 
I mean the same Thing as Druxey and Martin.
WOW!!!!!
Absolut Spitzen-Klasse.
