jose_b Posted August 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2017 By now, I can't return to my Le François model. A member of my family likes a lot models from scratch, so I thought on a small one, a longboat. So, it will be a present for her. Based on Jean Claude Lemineur's monograph: The Ship's longboat, I will make it at 1/36 scale using just pearwood. Of course, I don't forget my previous project: Le François.

jose_b Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Platform ceiling and oarsmen's ceiling in place, ready to receive oarsmen footrests and thwarts. Two crossbeams (aft and forward), used to lift the boat (lifting cringles), are also been placed.

DBorgens Posted August 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2017 Jose, Impressive! Your relative is blessed to receive such a beautiful boat. Looking at the detail pictures I keep thinking this is a much larger model. Great work. mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: HMS Pegasus, English Pinnace (on hold) Completed build: MS Bluenose, Skippercraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
