Hello, thanks for your feedback and "Likes", I appreciate your support a lot. Currently I am producing the Gaff and the Boom for the Corvette. There were many interesting details to clarify. So z. B. is located on the Gaff peak a small metal block for the national flag. What is still to be clarified is the design of the Gaff goosenecks the boom.

Hello, thanks for the nice comments, and also for the LIKES. An anchor buoy has been completed in the meantime. I put the buoy rope around the arm of the anchor and tied it to the anchor shaft twice.The size of the buoy rope is one-third of the cable. The length varies, for it is shortened or lengthened according to the depth of the water in which you will drop the anchor. Usually the buoy rope was at least 18 threads long.

Hello Thomas, recognized correctly, these are thin brass strips. This I cut with the table saw of a brass sheet is 0.25 mm thick. After the provisional adjustment of the ring diameter (slightly smaller than necessary), the two ends are brazed with silver solder. For this I form the ring so that the obliquely filed ends touch on pressure. I hope I have explained it somewhat understandable with my poor English and using the Google translation. For safety, the following drawing:

Hello, it's always a great pleasure for me to receive such a positive response, for actually a tiny detail. For the nice comments I would like to say thank you very much, also for the LIKES. Here it continues with another piece of equipment: Bouée d'ancre (Anchor buoy) For the execution of the anchor buoys for my French Corvette, I originally assumed that these were customary around 1800, also made of cork discs (2.5 - 3 cm thick). Therefore, my assumption that the drawing to anchor buoy of J. Boudriot from the monograph to La Créole is rather schematic to understand, as well as the buoy on the Parisian model. Source: Monograph La Créole Source: Monograph Original Model However, the buoys made of cork disks have uniform structures, contrary to the presentation of J. Boudriot; These remind me more of bands or rings. Thus I tried to get even more information for the production of the buoys. Source: Seventy-Four-Gun-Ship Vol. 2, J. Boudriot Source: Royal Museums Greenwich In Franz Ulffer's handbook of seamanship, a buoy with banding is shown. In addition, subdivisions can be seen in the longitudinal direction. Source: Franz Ulffers, Handbook of Seamanship 1872 Consequently, I tried again to study the relevant passages in the monograph in more detail. Accordingly, Boudriot describes the buoys in such a way that they consist of four light wood parts, which are held together with a banding. From what these bands should have passed, I could not find out so far. However, it is obvious that they may have been very thin iron bands. In order to get clarity to the implementation of the buoys in the model scale 1:48, I must probably get some information. Maybe someone of you can contribute to this? Sequel follows …

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
