Hello, I am very pleased with your positive comments. Here it continues in the report with a small update Breeching rope for the 18 - pounder The four 18 - pounders of La Créole have meantime been provided with the latest fittings. The next step is to prepare the breeching rope. The breeching rope of 18 - pounder had a length of 8.20 m and a diameter of 55 mm. The attachment of the breeching rope inboard on the bulwark was performed using eyebolts that penetrated the hull in the original and outboard with a screw (yellow arrow) were countered.

Hello Alexander, thanks for your kind words. The carronades are now complete. Still missing four 18 pounder guns on the gun deck. I made this a long time ago. But a few details had yet to complete.

Hello Alexander, ... incredible precision ... really fantastic!

Hello Mark, hello Greg, thank you for the kind comments. The carronade nr. 20 will now be installed:

The battery of the La Créole fills up slowly but steadily. Today the carronade no. 17 was set. Now is still missing 3 pieces and 4 pieces 18 pounder, then the battery is fully. The following photo shows the famous image of Horace Vernet the Battle of San Juan de Ulua with the poop deck of La Créole as background. I just wanted to transfer the atmosphere of the image on the model.

Hi Mick, thanks for the nice words. The planking of the hull and other parts of the model are not made of linden wood but from pear wood. Here is an internet address http://arkowood-shop.com/ of a dealer from Germany for model wood. I hope to have helped you with it.

Hello, many thanks for your motivating comments This drilling pattern is repeated twenty times. It was therefore obvious to use a template here. This I soldered together from brass. With a small handle the application easier. So that now, with a small graver holes all be precisely prearranged, without having to measure each time the model. See you around ...

Hallo Ed, your buildingreport is an impressive and instructive demonstration to build a professional historical ship model. To study the method of step by step instructions with beautiful pictures is a pleasure. For this, I thank you. -
Hello, here are further preparations for Installation of carronades and cannons. Meanwhile accumulated on the deck of my French corvette a lot of "junk". These pieces of equipment I have not yet fixed. On the blank ship deck the holes for the attachment of the breeching ropes can be more easily drilled. I also built a working aid together. This enables me when drilling support forward in order to guide the drill more safely.

Hi Carl, You're basically right, but I think that it is also good for brass.

Hi Carl, it is a protective oil, that prevents corrosion.

Forty staples are completed. Subsequently, the staples were blackened.

Hello, in addition to the breeching ropes for carronades I am also working on the breeching ropes for the 18 pounder guns. A small detail for the height adjustment of the gun barrels had to be done. The straps of the wood blocks had to be installed. In the background is the breeching rope already seen.
