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.

Fantastic Work!

Hello Albert, Your model is an absolute masterpiece. This is model building in its best form. I still have a lot to learn. -
Hello Ed, the overall view of the model with the masts is very impressive.

Hello Karl, a really extremely precise detail work. I'm excited. -
Very good detail work.

Hello Michael and Thomas, many thanks for your friendly comments. Enclosed two photos of the model ship with the provisional installed masts.

Hello Patrick, Thank you for your interest and your kind comment. I do not have any accessories for my Unimat. I can show you my Unimat anyway, at which I just turn a lower mast coat. In the background, my mini circular saw can be seen. Also, I still have a FET of Proxxon. @albert @ Mirabell61 Thank you, also you both.

@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 again. The lower masthead of the foremast is finished.

Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in my work report. I am very happy about the nice comments as well as the LIKES. Today I show the progress on the foremast:

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 Patrick, this is a wonderful model. I admire this work. I also carved a figure as a scale comparison. It is a good thing that you have decided to present your craftwork here.

@JOUFF Hello Patrik, this tool was turned from a brass rod on a lathe. The retaining pins are made of old drills, for example 0,5 mm, since they have corresponding strength. The holes for the retaining pins have to be performed very accurately, otherwise the dead eyes wobbles.
-
@JOUFF Hello Patrick, sorry, I did not quite understand. The tool I have brought into shape with Proxxon Corundum Cutting Discs, as shown in the figure below. I hope I could help you.
-
Hello Patrick, I described the production of the dead eyes here LINK in my report. If you have any specific questions, I will gladly answer them.
-
Hello, in the meantime I have finished the cheeks. Here are some pictures:

@Siggi52 Hello Siggi, thank you for your interesting information and the pictures. Before the construction of La Creole I was not aware that already in the 18th and 19th century ships were equipped with lightning conductors. @All Tanks for the nice comments and LIKES.
-
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.
-
Hello, today I show you only the result to the finished caps.

Hello Kurt, first of all thank you for your interest in my building report. I'm trying to bring a structure in my work and plan the individual steps. However, not always successful. My construction report, however, is essentially a record of the work done.
