Thank you,

 

that comments are nice and motivating

 

For the French corvette I had the gratings already made.
But because the holes were too big, I decided to make them new.

 

 

 

Here is a comparison between the old and the new.

Hi Greg,

 

thank you for the nice comment.

[archjofo]

Hello,

so it goes on with the construction report.
To stow the sloop on the deck, I have to build the poultry houses. These lie between the gratings.

For construction of the poultry houses, I show you the following pictures.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

That's a place I have never seen chicken coops (houses) in before.  Very different.  Many times, the French put them on the quarterdeck behind the mizzenmast and wheel.  I was under the impression is was because the chickens and eggs were the property of the officers.

I have to say I esteem you and your skill Johann...

Astonishing...

 

My only consolation is it can be a probability of an imperfection via electron microscope, maybe...

[giampieroricci]

What a beautiful work!!  I really admire your precision!!!

[JesseLee]

Johann, I have been following your build with awe! You somehow make every piece of wood look so precise, crisp & smooth. Just about as close to perfect as humanly possible! Some of the finest modeling I have ever seen - I wish I could make something look this good! It is a pure pleasure to see.

Hi Johann, beautiful model is fantastic work, bravo.

[JesseLee]

Awesome!

[archjofo]

Hello,

 

thanks for the nice comments and likes.

 

After the completion of chaloupe, I prepare the next boat project - Grand Canot -.
Therefore, I compare the documents available to me.
-J. Boudriot
-Atlas Du Génie maritime
-Photos From Paris Original Model
The thwart with mast holder in the bow area is further forward.
Therefore there are 7 instead of 6 thwarts.
I think that the basis for the construction of the "Grand Canot" are acceptable.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

I hope you like it.

Very nice work.

[Mirabell61]

Johann,

 

plug and Framework for pinnace fabrication are fantastic !

[archjofo]

Hello,
thanks for the nice notes. It is a pleasure again.

In the following I will show the next steps to build a pinnace.
First, the gunwales are attached to the framework. Next, the keel planks are fastened.

The last picture shows a size comparison between chaloupe and pinnace.

Beautiful, inspirational, work!

Practice makes perfect ... It seems you go faster with this one, and it looks real sharp ...

[archjofo]

Hi E&T,

thanks for the nice comment.

 

Hi Carl,

it really goes a little faster, but this is firstly caused by the size, and secondly, the construction of the pinnace is easier.
For example, the frames are done only in one piece.

[archjofo]

Hello,

 

here are some new pictures from the construction of the pinnace.

 

 

 

[Remcohe]

I really admire the detail you are putting in these little workboats. It's a joy to watch you work.

[archjofo]

Hello Remco,

about the praises of such an excellent modeller I am pleased.
Many thanks!

[archjofo]

Hello there,
some new impressions of the construction of the pinnace.
The demolding was successful without that something was glued.

 

[cog]

Very impressive jet again Johann!

[archjofo]

Hi Carl,
thank you for your positive comment.

Here are a few images from the current stage of construction.

Planking coming to an end.
