  1. Hello, for your nice posts I say warmly thank you. Here I show the first attempt to produce the thole pins.
  2. Thanks, your nice remarks are a pleasure again. Latest photos of the chaloupe:
  3. Hello Dirk, do not worry, I am not bored ... Hello Joe, Carl and Mark I am very pleased about your nice comments, thanks! Here is a small update:
  4. Hi Mik, thank´s for your nice comment. Here are a few new images to build the sloop (chaloupe). The anchor davit (to laying out anchor LINK ) on the stern of the boat is constructed somewhat complex. For this detail the documents from J. Boudriot were not sufficient. Therefore, I oriented myself on Atrlas du Genie Maritime.
  5. Hello, thanks for the nice comments. The finished rudder looks like this.
  6. Here is the continuation of my report is to build the chaloupe: The rudder for the sloop I made of two parts, as in the original. The fittings I make of brass. The rudder was designed to insert and remove, for example, when the boat was stowed on the ship. Please look to the images. I hope that they like.
  7. Hello, this positive feedback is a great pleasure again and again. Thank you very much. Today I'll show you a few small steps forward to build the sloop. Particularly, I would point to the wooden supports for the swivel guns. For landing missions the sloop could carry 4 swivel guns. ...to be continued
  8. Hello, here I show more details for the construction of chaloupe. The last three images reveal the current build status. I hope you like it.
  9. Hello, first of all I would like to thank you all for your encouragement. Currently I'm still working on the interior finishing of the chaloupe. Before I make the parts in wood, I make stencils out of cardboard.
  10. Hi Dan, Congratulations for the fantastic model and Thanks for the detailed reporting.
  11. Hello Doris, a fine collection of ship models that you have created in the course of your life. I admire your artistic style and precision with which you build your excellent models. I hope that you will show us a lot more of your art.
  12. Hello, thanks for the nice comments. And here is the sequel to the interior fittings of the long boat.
  13. Hello, to build the sloop for my French corvette I have a lot of research on the Internet. I have seen this many wonderful plans and construction reports of a large long boat. This sloop can carry a 24 pound cannon. With a length of 13 m was used on large ships of the line. Many of these modelers build this sloop "Chaloupe armee en Guerre de 1834" according to the plans of Gerard Delacroix (Boudriot series) in scale 1:36. Current construction reports are good studio objects for all the details, just only bigger, like my small sloop for La Créole. Many of these models are fantastic works that have been produced with absolute precision. Therefore, I felt the need to compare the two models in terms of size. This I have done with a picture assembly. That's interesting?
  14. Hello, many thanks for your nice comments. Continued Construction of the sloop - expansion Meanwhile, I could make the gunwale successfully. As far as the gunwales for adapting and assembling are now being prepared. Soon it goes on here ...
  15. Hello Colleagues, here is the continuation: After removing the glue residue from the boot shell now follows the expansion of the sloop. The gunwales (Dollbord in German) I do with a bending device.
  16. Hi Rob, only now I have your report found. Had I seen it earlier, I would have had some problems less. This is a fantastic model and a masterpiece. A very precise built model. My chaloupe is however built in 1:48 scale.
  17. The longboat will be 18.4 cm long, which means 8.8 m length in the original.
