JOUFF Posted September 30, 2017 #1 Posted September 30, 2017 Hello everyone ! My name is Patrick, 64, retired for 4 years soon and living in Poissy, a small town located 30 km west of Paris. I have been watching your works on this forum for several years now and as some of my compatriots are doing, I would like to show you a project I started four years ago : a French frigate named "La Renommée". I work from a monograph by Jean BOUDRIOT, the scale is 1/48. At this stage, I just finished the hull and I will show you some pictures without too many comments, the pictures speaking for themselves ... and moreover, my "English" is a bit "rusty". I will go in stages, to condense 4 years of work in a few days of publication. So let's go ... [/url Patrick hexnut, Bluto 1790, aviaamator and 8 others 11 Quote

You are doing excellent work and I look forward to following and learning from your experience. The scale figure is wonderful. Is it carved from wood, or other material.

noel_colledge Posted October 1, 2017 #26 Posted October 1, 2017 Wonderful work sir, and the photoshop picture of yourself next to your carved figure brought a smile to my face Did you have to prepare the Ebony in any way before laminating it or did it hold well with without, other than a roughing with sandpaper?

Noel, I simply bought 1mm thick boards that worked as shown in the photos. You have to be quick to stick the first two blades and present them on the shell to get the rounding by keeping it in place for a few seconds. Next sticks the third on the two preceding ones, presents again, maintains. Same for the fourth. The final shape is then obtained in 4 mm which is sufficient to sand and to adapt. I used the universal adhesive. The disadvantage of this method is that by sanding too much the lower blade is uncovered : it is necessary to go slowly. (The other method is to cut into the mass, which avoids this risk). I am glad to have tested and obtained this result. Patrick Edited October 1, 2017 by JOUFF mtaylor 1 Quote

shipmodel Posted October 1, 2017 #29 Posted October 1, 2017 Patrick - Thank you for showing your carving of the figure. It is a miniature masterpiece in its own right. I was also impressed with the ingenuity of how you made the scale stave that he is holding. Brass rod and insulation - genius!
