Recommended Posts

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 ...?

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

post-763-0-21446700-1440835172_thumb.jpg

Particularly, I would point to the wooden supports for the swivel guns.
For landing missions the sloop could carry 4 swivel guns.

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.
