    Hi Nils, a nice way to end a wonderful project.
  2. archjofo
    I'm impressed!

    Fantastic Work!

    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.

    Hi Karl, your wood frame work is remarkably good. I admire this.

    Hi Ed, your metalwork is very admirable, but not only this.

    Hello everybody after a short break here an update of the report for the construction of the masts.
  9. archjofo
    Hello Michel, I have been watching your building on the Internet for some time. I am glad that you are here now in MSW. Your model is fantastic.

    Hi Ed, I am impressed by your performance. This precision at this scale. This is model construction at the highest level.

    @cog Thanks for your nice comment and @all the others for the LIKES. Here is another update. The topgallant masts were equipped with the remaining sheaves and the fids. Similarly, the trestle trees still received sheaves. The last picture shows the parts of the masts that have been produced so far.

    Hi, thanks for the nice Comments and here is a short supplement.

    Wonderful pictures of a fantastic model!

    @dvm27 Hi, the La Creole carried max. 3 weather vanes. These etching parts are extremely filigree. The soldering of the mounting rings is very difficult, so some of them are damaged. So I had to produce more than I need. The etching board with the 18 weather vanes cost only 6 € including shipping in Germany.

    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, thanks for the nice comments and the LIKES. My previous interpretation of the weather flags and the lightning conduction for the La Creole is completely wrong. Our forum colleague Dirk @ Dubz showed me a picture from the book "Modeles Historiques" by J. Boudriot from the top of the main mast of the Paris model of La Creole. I also want to make this beautiful detail for my model. For this I use the etching technique. I have already drawn the necessary template.

    Hi Ed, this is a beautiful sight. In addition, your report is for me a textbook for modeling, where I always find great suggestions.
  19. archjofo
    Hi Karl, Beautiful progress! It is a fine precise work.
  20. archjofo
    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.

    Hi Mark, I am happy that you're back.
  22. archjofo
    Hello, It always makes me happy when I notice your interest in my report. Thanks everyone In this context, the lightning conductor on the main mast should not go unnoticed. On the original model (yellow arrow) the lightning conductor can be seen. I assume at least that this is so.
  23. archjofo
    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.

    Hi Jim, Thank you for your interest in my work. Yes, I have to squeeze the metal strop a little.

    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. 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.

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.
