Decoyman, have a look here: http://www.hobbymillusa.com/wood-species-pear.php

 

 

Johann,

 

The only thing I can see which is unfinished on the exterior are those huge screws and pieces of wood which keeps it to the mold. I am just as curious as you how it will come off and what the interior will look like! I'll keep my fingers crossed it'll come off smoothly ...

 

P.s. Did you waxed the mold ...?

[archjofo]

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.

[archjofo]

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.

Seriously stunning!

How long will the finished sloop be?

 

Remco

[archjofo]

The longboat will be 18.4 cm long, which means 8.8 m length in the original.

 

[archjofo]

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.

Dispel my doubts about the lack of curvature of the deck of the Corvette and cross-sections, please...

Nice! Another page added to your 'Howto build a ships boat'. I'm enjoying every step of the way

[archjofo]

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 ...

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?

Your boat should be 12 cm on that scale which would be 1/3. They do look a like though, a few differences which show they aren't as long. Mainly visible at the 'stern' part of them ...

[Gahm]

You are producing one master piece after the other! Your little boats are gorgeous!

[giampieroricci]

Wonderful work, as usual!

[archjofo]

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.

I'm reading stereo Johann,

Accidentally posted it twice ...? Still this chaloupe build is worth reading over twice so it doesn't really matter

 

Tschüß

[archjofo]

Oh Sorry.
I will remove the duplicate report.

[archjofo]

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.

Masterful ... if no other elements were visible one might think it to be the real thing, the real size ... such incredible, sharp details, and such fine, crisp lines ... a sight for sore eyes ...

[archjofo]

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

[WackoWolf]

Now that is beautiful work with all the bells and whistles. The pictures are excellent on the eyes nice and clear. Thank you for sharing this wonderful build with all of us. Please keep the post and pictures coming, always enjoy the updates.

[Greg the peg leg sailor]

Amazing details and workmanship my friend. Well done!

Hi,

 

thanks für the nice comments!

Here's a little update:

 

Edited September 3, 2015 by archjofo

[archjofo]

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.
