marsalv Posted October 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2018 After a long creative vacuum, I started a new project. This is the so-called "gabare" Le Gros Ventre at 1:48 scale, the model will be realized using the POF method (plank on frame) according to a monograph by Gerard Delacroix. I will use cherry, pear, black hornbeam and maple wood for the building, without painting. Gabare is a cargo ship used by the French Royal Navy during the 18th and 19th centuries. For this reason, there is no orlop deck. The first phase of the construction was the making of a building board necessary for the installation of frames on the keel. Great attention must be paid to the maximum accuracy of the position of the bottom and top base. ccoyle, Richard Griffith, Dowmer and 39 others 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted October 22, 2018 Thank you guys. This construction will be much more complicated than Pandora, a lot of POF techniques are new to me, but I hope I can handle it. The first few parts of the keel are done. First little complication was making some parts from two different kind of wood. JOUFF, KORTES, paulsutcliffe and 30 others 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share #15 Posted October 25, 2018 So, the remaining parts of the keel are completed.

marsalv Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share #16 Posted October 30, 2018 I glued together all the parts of the keel and put the keel into the building board.

The lower filling parts I had to make four times😡. Reminds me of an article I read many years ago about a master knife maker in Japan who rejected one out of every three blades that he forged. The mark of a true craftsman is to not be satisfied with substandard work. I'm not a master craftsman myself ... maybe someday. druxey, bruce d, ChadB and 6 others 9 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

marsalv Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share #28 Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks for comments😉. Hawse timbers and cant frames - The construction of these parts is more complicated because the individual frames are not glued directly to each other but have a small gap between them.
