guraus Posted December 27, 2017 #1 Posted December 27, 2017 Hello, Here is my new project: the schooner "La Jacinthe" at 1/48 based on Jean Boudriot's monograph from Ancre. As there are no frames plans in the monograph I will do a solid hull model as suggested by the author. The keel and frames I made out of 6mm plywood, the deck was covered with 1.5mm thick bass strips and the spaces in-between the frames was filled with 10mm x 20mm strips of cedar wood. The hull was sanded then the imperfections were filled with wood filler and sanded again. It is now ready to be planked - I will use pear wood for external haul planking and holly for the deck. At this moment I plan to do a full rigged model and with the rigging the model will be 80/25/60cm (L/W/H). Hull only is 48/13/10cm Here are the pictures with the progress so far.

guraus Posted April 16, 2020 Author #3 Posted April 16, 2020 For some reason I stopped posting on MSW. Now, a bit over 2 years later I decided to finish this build log as I finished the model a while ago. I even started a new one. So here are the pictures, maybe someone will find them interesting.

My Victory sits nicely in her display case - I didn't touch it in the last couple of years.

pollex Posted April 20, 2020 #26 Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Hello Alexandrus, I agree with the other folks that you've made a very fine model. However, as a retired draughtsman/designer, I 'm noting an omission. I also have a set of the "Jacinth" dwgs from Ancre, but I'm not able to look at them now; I see you have put 3 reefs in the fore-topsail. How could the seamen reef the topsail, if there are no foot-ropes to stand on? These would not be difficult to add! Kind Regards, Pollex (Calgary) 20 april'2020 Edited April 20, 2020 by pollex added date aviaamator 1 Quote

Kind Regards, Pollex (Calgary) 20 april'2020 Pollex, You are right, there are foot-ropes on both spars on that masts in the plans - I just checked. I've missed them, and probably missed a number of other ropes. I might add them when I revisit the model in a while - I sometimes do that like I did with my Japanese Fune. Thank you for pointing that out.

guraus Posted April 21, 2020 Author #30 Posted April 21, 2020 Thank you guys! I am quite happy with this model especially considering I am not usually rig my models, even rarely I make the sails. I have tried some new (for me) way to make the sails and I liked the results so that the model I am currently working on will be also fully rigged.
