La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 
I will continue at the French corvette with the installation of the anchor supports on the larboard side. The anchor was initially placed only temporarily, to see if it fits.
Here I show you two photos:

Hello,

many thanks für the nice comments.

In between, I will still show you how the portholes of the ventilation hatches are constructed.
The glass body with a diameter of 1.3 mm were punched out with a specially prepared punch pliers from an acrylic glass plate.
Then they were glued with Micro Kristal Klear in a brass tube piece.

The brass tube piece has an outside diameter of 2.5 mm.

Wonderful metal work!  Your build is verily amazing, and a work of art.  I always enjoy catching up on your build log.

Hello,

your positive comments are always pleased me.

With other fittings on the outboard walls I want to continue my report.

In addition to various eye bolts with rings were also fittings to customize for the fore-channels.
One of these fittings is used to hook the lower-studding-sail-boom.
The other is for the mooring of the flying-jib-guys.

 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Super metal work Johann,

 

Three out of five of those rivets in row are dummies, what are you using as dummy rivet heads ?

Hello Nils,

thanks for your nice comment.

 

There are ordinary micro brass rivets. These were soldered and sanded down.

 

This has the following reason:
For mounting two bolts are completely sufficient.
Otherwise the installation would be too problematic.

Hello Friends,

today I show some news of my little naval shipyards.
:)

In the quarter galleries were still glued the window. The tiny windows were made ​​of acrylic glass. I have fixed this with Micro Kristal Klear.
As a consequence I had to install wooden strips on the quarter galleries yet. These are just decoration.

Johann,

 

This is an amazing build you have going.   I am surprised though that the quarter gallery only had one small window.

Hello colleagues,

thank you for your encouragement.

Lately, I was not very productive. To this end, my scanty results:

Various works: boarding ladders port side, eye bolts with rings for the deck and inboard.

On the port side still had to be mounted the boarding ladders. This I had made ​​some time ago and given to appropriate explanations.

For the open battery deck I made still eye bolts with rings, as well inboard of the gun ports, a total of 60 pieces. Also here is to note again that these differ in the size of the eye bolt on the outboard side.

Hello,

 

thanks for the nice comments.

Another small detail has been made ​​for the French corvette.
It is a roller on the Main deck .
This is fixed in front of the main mast on the open Main deck .
The making of this steering roller (height approx. 8 mm) was performed in three parts, which I turned on my little lathe. The roller was made of brass.

For what purpose this roller was used precisely, is what I can only guess.
Because it is in the context with the guide rollers (tourniquet), I see a connection there with the messenger.
I also hope on the expertise of one or the other on the forum that explain this more detailed

Hello,

thanks for the nice comments.

I have to correct a statement.
This piece of equipment is not a stearing roller
(reel ). Meanwhile, I know that this is a chain-pipe. This part is used for the anchor chain, to let down into the chain locker.

Hello,
it has been some time since my last update to my building report.
So I made in the meantime other small but important details. So the timberheads received post covers in roof form.
Another detail to protect the hull from the anchor flukes was added.

 

Here you can see some pictures.

I hope that you like it,
