Because of a small mistake, the first attempt ended in failure, but there were also some gains.

 

 

 

 
The second production has begun...
 

 

Hello to all!
For my poor English ,the following was translated by software and maybe have some grammar or other mistakes .
The plans of L'ARTÉSIEN were purchased from France in last year,the ship is so beautiful and i want to make it(into a ship model) by cnc.
 

 

 
First I scan the drawings,then make it into 3d model or 2d Vector graph,Then NC engraving,Including 2D and 3d kits for example frames/figurehead...
My project starts from the stem and the main material is pear and jujube...
This process is almost all CNC machining, manual only assembly and polishing...
 
 

 

 

 

 
some photos of  Actually produced...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
mill on double sides
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The two faces are basically the same
 

 

 
Double sides milling of bow special parts...
 
The following is "no bridges"

 

The previous production was "have bridges" As shown below...
 

 


 

 

 
pre-assemble...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The figurehead ...
3d model
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Although not very similar, I have tried my best...
NC machining programming and simulation
 

 

 

 

 
Preparation materials
 

 

 

 
It will take some time to process the finished product
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hello,
Thanks for your interest.

With the completion of the bowsprit all masts are made.

Here are pictures of the model with the temporarily employed masts.

 

Hello,
before I go on with the report, I would like to thank you for your interest and compliments, also for the LIKES.
The bowsprit is ready so far except for the rings for the font fish. The dolphin striker for the La Crèole was forged from iron. The jib boom and the flying jib boom have now been made.
Here are some pictures:

Hello,
many thanks for the stimulating comments,
and also for the LIKES.
 
The last details on the masts are made.
These are hoops around the lower masts with holders for pins,
so-called spider bands.
The holder was made of brass investment casting.

The left fragment of a hoop is a failed attempt.
The right hoop looks much better, right?

Hello,
meanwhile, I've made some small progress:
I turned the supporting bodies for the mastcoats on my Unimat.
The tarred canvas I imitate by fine silk that I dyed black with poster paint.

@JOUFF
Hello Patrick,
many thanks for your nice note.
@All
Thanks for thumbs up!
 
Today, I report on the final work on the masts.
The last rings were installed at foremast.

The next three pictures show the finished masts. Beside this are the top masts.


 
 

Hello,

thanks for your interest and the LIKES.

Today I show you the completion of the main mast.
The fontfish, the cheeks and the mast hoops were attached.



 


Lastly, an annular holder for belaying pins still has to be made.
Each mast receives one of these holders. Per holder requires 10 pieces of belaying pins, thus a total of 30 pieces.
This holder is built according to a drawing from the Atlas du Genie maritme, Plate 234, as seen on the following excerpt.

Hello,
Thanks to all for the interest and the nice comments.

To finish the lower masts I have to make the iron bands.
This I made from strips of brass sheet 0.3 mm. To attach the frontfishes there are two-piece hoops.

Hi Thomas,
thank you for your nice comment.
Thanks to all the others for the LIKES.
 
In the meantime I made the fittings for the Mainmast cap.
After all, these are a total of 30 parts.
The other pictures show the finished Mainmast cap in different views.




 

 
 

Hello,
thank you for the comments and, of course, for the LIKES as well. 
 
Today, I present a small update.
The cap for the Mizen mast and the Cheeks still had to be equipped with fittings.
Here are some pictures. I hope you like them..
 

Hello,
thanks to all for the attention and kind comments.

In the meantime, I made the cheeks for the masts.



For the Mizen Mast they are ready made.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your supportive comments and for the LIKES.
Let us remember
LINK
Meanwhile, I got the etched parts for the weather vanes delivered.
I immediately went to work,
and built the weather vane with lightning conductor for the mainmast top of the La Creole.




 
 
In this context, I would like to mention this report on the lightning control of sailing ships. There are many parallels to the lightning conduction of the La Creole.
 

 
I have also worked on the topgallant masts. Here are the results.




 
 

The etching parts for the weather vanes have not yet arrived.
Meanwhile, I continued with the fittings for the topmast caps.
 

Hello,
the continuation of the report is about the fittings for the topmast caps.
The iron bands must be fitted with bolts and square nuts.

To make this detail with 0.75mm / 0.75mm square nut and a 0.4mm diameter bolt, I chose the following method as shown in the pictures.

 

Hello,
thanks to all, for your attention. 

After finishing the tops, I continue with the royal masts.
The French Corvette had a weathervane on every royal mast.
Here are some pictures:



Whether this corvette also had lightning conductors is in this context
quite a legitimate question.

Hello Albert,
Thanks,
and everyone else for the LIKES.

Meanwhile, I made the futtock shroud plates for the tops of the foremast and the mizzen mast.

 

The difference between the deadeyes of the top of the foremast and that of the mainmast is barely recognizable (0.2 mm), yet it is important to me.

Furthermore, I produced the royal cross trees for the formast and the mainmast.
I hope the pictures explain everything so far.

 

Hello Carl,
thank you for your very nice comment.
But my works are still not perfect.
I only take pictures of the perfect details ... 
 
In the meantime, I made the
topmast deadeyes and futtock shroud plates for the top of the main mast.
Here are some pictures of how I did it.
The parts are brazed.

Hello,
the construction of the tops is completed.


I will soon continue with the completion of the masts.

Here I continue the photo documentation to build the mizzen-tops:




 

Hello,
thanks for the nice comments.
 
Short update:

 

Hello,
meanwhile, I have completed the assembly of the top of the main mast.
On the first picture all parts to see.
The second picture shows how to make holes with the 0.3 mm drill.
On the last picture the mounted top can be seen.
 

Thanks to all for the interest in my report.
In the meantime, I have made some progress on building the
top of the main mast.
Currently, I'm going to make the supports for the railing.

Thanks to
Rob, Albert,
an all others for the LIKES.
 
Lately, I've managed not much. So I'll show you just a few pictures.
I hope I can show more again soon.
 

Thank you, Albert!
Here is an update on the construction of the masts and topmasts.
 
On the first picture is to see how I just made the hole for the sheave of the top ropes.

The next picture shows the topmast heel with the fidhole and the fid.

On the last picture, the components are provisionally composed.
