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.

@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.

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.

Hi Karl, Beautiful progress! It is a fine precise work. -
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.

Hello Doris, it is amazing how exactly you work. You have developed your technique to the highest level. It is unique, I know nothing comparable. Please do not let us wait too long until the report continues.
