  1. The longboat will be 18.4 cm long, which means 8.8 m length in the original.
  2. Hi, as previously announced here are the pictures from the removal of the boat shell. Before removing the shell I've sanded the hull. Sanding I was doing outdoors. With great excitement and nervousness I loosened the screws. I am satisfied with the result.
  3. Hi, thanks for the interesting link. Without major problems I have today taken the boat from the mold. The form I had covered with tesafilm tape. I'll still show thereto a few pictures.
  4. @redshirt @JesseLee Indeed, that's a little confusing. But I actually use "Elsbeere". Hi Christian, Carl, Mark, Greg and Nils, thanks for the positive response. The planking is now ready. The finishing touch still missing. Here are two pictures. The removal of the boot shell of the mold will be an exciting moment.
  5. Sorry Mark, I wanted to say that it still needs to be finish-ground.
  6. In the meantime, the planking is completed on the port side. The hull is not sanded, as can be seen.
  7. In German, the wood is referred to as Elsbeere. In English it is called probably wild service tree? But I'm not quite sure.
  8. Karl, Mick, Cog and Greg, thanks for looking in. Slowly but surely, the planking is completed. I hope that it is the way I imagine it.
  9. Hi Dirk, many thanks. I am working continuous on the planking of the long boat:
  10. Hello there, here I show you images where the first planks are attached.
  11. Hello, currently I am preparing the planking of the long-boat. The planks are already cut.
  12. Hi Christian, a very precise work.
  13. Hi Karl, I wish you good luck for the new project.
  14. Hello JP, thank you for the kind words. And here is a short update of the report. The first two strakes are tightly glued.
  15. Hello Carl, thanks for the nice comment. We continue the construction of the long-boat with the planking. First, the profiled planks must be made. This is the first strake. By heating with a soldering iron, the soaked planks can be brought into the required form.
  16. Hello Alex, very nice pictures of an excellent model ship. Wherever it travels? In a museum ...?
  17. Hello Mike, the scale is 1:48, of course, like the Corvette. The model of the longboat is accordingly 18.4 cm long.
  18. Here are two pictures before the last critical frames are installed.
  19. Hi Dan, that's a good way to build a cutter. Amazingly precise construction. Currently I'm building the longboat for my French corvette. Here is the link to my report LINK.
  20. Many thanks, and here goes on with the construction of the long boat. The keel with transom stern was installed.
