[archjofo]

Hello,

thanks for the encouragement, one and all!
Here is the continuation:

 

The first image shows all installation parts of the cutters.

 

On the next two images all built boats can be seen that I have built for the French corvette.
Only thing missing is the gig.

Johan, your work is exquisite, and your choice of music for your video is perfekt. Boccerini's Op 30, No 6 was for a string quartet. The Master & Commander people did it up as a serious duet, violin and cello. Incredible trnscription.

Hello Carl,

 

thank you very much!

[Hyposphagma]

Beautiful pictures, Johann. Can`t wait to see them on the La Creole. 

[archjofo]

Hello,
thanks to all for your great feedback.
This is pure motivation.

After a short break I do with the cutters on.
Among other things, I have the mast gate arrangements still make.

Look at the pictures:

And let's add wood... etc.  to that.

[archjofo]

Hello,
thanks for the very nice reactions.

Here is a small continuation:

Johann,

 

You make it look so easy, and if I wouldn't know any better, I would guess it to be a lot larger ... seeing the detail in the wood and the metal!!!

 

Cheers

[archjofo]

Hello,
thank you very much for the very nice comments and of course for all likes.
The installation of the gratings in the bow is finished.

Furthermore, I drilled holes for the nails on the planks. These holes are later filled with furniture wax.

[wyz]

Wow! You have simulated nail holes in the planks?  That's taking boat building to another level....the nth degree!  Johann, you truly are the consummate craftsman.

[EdT]

Johann, these are in a class by themselves.  Simply beautiful work.

 

Ed

[druxey]

Exceptional! Beautiful work.

[archjofo]

Hello,
Tom,Ed and Druxey,
many thanks for the nice comments,
and to all others for the Likes.

The cutter are nearing completion.
Meanwhile, the backboards were made and fitted.

It still lacks rudder.
Soon I will start with the last boat for the French corvette, the gig.

[cog]

Johann,

 

You'll need a bigger corvette for all those boats ... magnificent work again ...

[Ferit]

Johann,

Many builds have not more details and handworks on the whole ship than your boats...

[Mirabell61]

excellent modeling for the boats Johann,

 

Nils

[Jeronimo]

Hi Johann.

Beautiful.

Karl

[JesseLee]

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EJ_L]

Beyond amazing! I'm just in open awe at the work you are doing on this build. Keep up the incredible work! 

[michael mott]

Hi Johann, thank you for posting the pictures with the work in progress. When looking at the macro photographs it becomes easy to forget just how small these superb model are in their own right. When the tiny parts are part of the overall picture with your hand holding the very small drill while working on the "nails" It suddenly puts the whole thing into perspective.

 

Your photographs are both very inspiring and humbling, and also educational at the same time.
