  1. 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.
  2. I have followed your advice and G. Delacroix questioned for Shape of the dead-eyes. Here is his answer:
  3. 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.
  4. Hi Carl, my French is much worse, as my English ... In earnest, I can not speak French. Why you ask this question?
  5. 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!
  6. 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.

  7. Hello Karl, as always a fantastic good work. I'm excited.
  8. 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 :
  9. Hello Alex, what you show us, that is model construction from another planet. I'm amazed. Thank you for showing.
  10. Hello, thank you so much! Thanks also for the LIKES! Meanwhile, I made more details: -supplementing the 2nd companionway with a railing. -robes ladder for shrouds, as you can see on cut model.
  11. @aviaamator Hello, You really do a good job! My French corvette has the same type of carronade, however, 30 pounds, of which 20 pieces. Here you can see this more: LINK
  12. @cog Hello Carl, sorry, I dont know. How is the counting? @allanyed Hello Allan, sorry, I can not tell you.
  13. Hello, many thanks for the nice comments and the likes. According to a note I made a new attempt for the canvas. The new Canvas made of silk has a finer weave structure. The previous version was made of linen material. I think that the new version is closer to the original.
