  1. @albert Thanks for the nice feedback. After the completion of the supports of the channels I looked back as the model looked without equipment. Four years have now passed. If I compare the state of the model from the year 2012 with today's so, it is already sobering. On the one hand, I find that a lot of details have now accumulated on the ship model. On the other hand, other model builders build complete models with full rigging during this time. Nevertheless, I will continue soon ...
  2. Hello Albert, the framework is simply amazing. Your performance impressed me.
  3. Hello, the decision to form the dead-eyes is not yet done. But I think that I will abide by the recommendation of G. Delacroix. Meanwhile, I make the the lower supports of the channels. Some time ago, I have already begun, as seen here LINK. To further manufacturing are a few recent photos.
  4. I have followed your advice and G. Delacroix questioned for Shape of the dead-eyes. Here is his answer:
  5. Hi Carl, Hi ofencer 29350, that would be helpful. I would appreciate this support very much. Which one of you would ask Gérard Delacroix for me? Many thanks in advance.
  6. Hi Carl, my French is much worse, as my English ... In earnest, I can not speak French. Why you ask this question?
  7. Hi Carl, *) These documents were valid general for the French navy in the 1st half of the 19th century. Accordingly, all warships were equipped by the largest ship of line to the corvette, etc. . In addition there were also tables that the required sizes specified. **) I think that it is not due to the availability of timber. ***) Exactly, that is the question!
  8. Hello, I would like to thank for motivating words and also for the many LIKES. Currently I concern myself with the question regarding the shape of the dead-eyes. Many documents and pictures of the LA CREOLE showing dead-eyes with round shape, as can be seen here: Source: Boudriot, Monographie LA CREOLE , S.104 Source: Cutout drawing of J. Boudriot But in the official documents of 1833 the dead-eyes have an "oval" shape. For appropriate information, I would be greatly appreciated. Source:TAFEL 212 - ATLAS du GENIE MARITME A.

  9. Hello Karl, as always a fantastic good work. I'm excited.
  10. Thanks for the kind words, and for the LIKES. In the meantime, I made the shot garlands for 18 pounder and 30 pounder. Here are the pictures :
  11. Hello Alex, what you show us, that is model construction from another planet. I'm amazed. Thank you for showing.
