Hi Karl, fantastic carving! -
Hello Doris, I find it very exciting that you show us with a video how you make the sculptures. Of course you need a lot of talent for that, too that works in the way you show it. I admire that very much. I can not do that unfortunately.

Hello Carl, I followed your recommendation. Therefore, I have received further interesting information from Patrick @Jouff on "Bouée de sauvetage". With his permission I can show you. And here I started with the realization of this lifeboye in 1:48 scale.

Hello Patrick,
sorry for bothering you with a question.
I am currently collecting information for the "Bouée de sauvetage".
Therefore, I allow myself to ask you if you have any further information for this lifeboye.I am also not clear how the ropes are bound in detail about it.
Also pictures and drawings would be welcome or references to contemporary technical literature.With best regards
Johann

Hello, it is always a pleasure to see that there is still interest in my construction report. Thanks for that Mike, Mark. E.J. and also thanks for the LIKES. At the moment I am looking for information for the lifebuoy. Here are some pictures of the Parisian model of La Creole: And here is a part of the famous Picture of Vernet Horace: As far as I know, the disc is made of cork and covered with canvas. I would be very grateful for more information or pictures, so I get the details can do it correctly.

Hi Karl, exceptionally good carvings! I have rarely seen such. -
Hello Alberto, thanks for the compliment and all others for the LIKES. Here is a short update:
-
Hello, in the meantime, I have made a lifting gear for the gig. The historical picture is from the "Manuel du Gabier", which I took as a template.

Hello, currently I am working with the tackles of the stern davits. The lowering of the stern boat had to be done in a certain order, otherwise there was a risk of capsizing. Here is a picture from the Harland: Excerpt from "Seamanship", John Harland, p. 286 The danger of capsizing was of course very great in rough seas. Therefore, hooks for disengagement were introduced. Does anyone have any information when the first ones were used? Can it be that the La Creole already had something like that? In Harland the Robinson's disengaging gear is described. When this system was introduced can not be determined exactly, probably between 1870 and 1890. For more information, I would be very grateful.

That's a great performance.

Hello, today a short update. I hope the pictures speak for themselves.

Hi Ed, your report is always fascinating. You describe step by step how to make one and another detail. This is like a textbook for ship model making at the highest level. I learn a lot from you. Thanks, Ed!

Wonderful rigging! -
Hello Doris, your ability to create sculptures and figures is admirable. Forming the fine details of the hands, faces and clothes is a talent, an amazing gift. To build a model with all the sculptures in this quality is reserved for very few. You are one of the few.

Hello Karl, fantastic work! Very, very beautiful! -
Hello Nils, Ed, Thomas, Michael, Druxey and Mark Thank you for the appreciation and also to all for the LIKES. The double blocks for the backstays are finished. Here are some pictures:

Hello Patrick, the black seal serves to illustrate that the barrel is made from individual staves. That's legitimate in model making.
-
Hello Patrick, the very illustrated explanation of making barrels is just great. Thanks a lot for this. I have to try that too.
-
Hello Doris, your sculptures are in a class of their own. I am deeply impressed by your skill these wonderful sculptures to shape.

Hello, Here I show step by step how to make the detail for the bolts. In the meantime, I have made as far as all fitting parts for the double blocks of the backstays.
-
Hello Albert, Thank you for your interest. And here follows the continuation of the report: Here you can see how the bolts for the double blocks are made step by step. At the top of the fork-like shape comes a hole with 0.3 mm for the joint axis. For the attachment of the double blocks on the channels, I have the following solution found. I think that this could be historically correct. This design is similar to that of attaching eyebolts for breeching ropes on french sailing warships. The method of producing this detail I have seen in a Russian model building forum.

Hello Siggi, a very nice hull and rudder. A great performance. The holes for the rudder fittings were apparently drilled on the model?
