Just came across your build and very pleased that I have.

 

I find it refreshing to see someone practising a different approach to building, one which offers a shorter journey while still displaying all the external accuracy and which results in a model anyone would be proud to exhibit.

 

Love your carronades and especially your Treenailing which is a joy to look at - your choice of woods giving just the right contrast. Congratulations looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Cheers Pete

Thank you all for your appreciation of my efforts! Today, I completed the program "maximum", finished sheathing the hull, with the exception of wale. At this stage, I suspend the construction, because tomorrow might go to the hospital... good Luck to all!!!

Wonderful work Aviaamator! I really like your model and the way it is progressing. A couple of questions if you don't mind:

- which wood are you using for hull planking and treenails? And what is the diameter of the treenails?

- which cad program are you using to draw the carvings?

Matti! Welcome! Thank you all for the positive feedback! The hull skin of the pear, the pins also from pears, but painted with black paint to simulate the caulking, mainwels of black hornbeam. The diameter of the pins is 1.5 mm. The CNC program is called Art CAM.

Very nice work Aviaamator, the precision of your treenails is admirable. Nice also to see your son helping, such a great experience for him.

 

I hope your health is improving well.
