ChrisLBren Posted July 25, 2019 Share #91 Posted July 25, 2019 Looks terrific ! I notice a lot of Russian Modelers use Black Hornbeam instead of Ebony. Is it easier to work with - it certainly looks great. Thanks, Chris mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share #100 Posted September 16, 2019 Thank you Johann, I have to say that you have no reason to learn from me becouse your work on La Créole is fantastic. I use "white" hornbeam and the "black" hornbeam for the bolts. Black wood simulates iron bolts and white wood the treenails.

marsalv Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share #102 Posted September 29, 2019 Hi druxey, all woods will darken after waxing, but there will still be a visible color difference between white, black and brown wood. Deck beams are completed, it remains only the last aft one and the deck level breast hook.

hdrinker Posted November 23, 2019 Share #114 Posted November 23, 2019 Your work is an inspiration to someone who has completed this model by hand without the knowledge and skill to use my milling machine (Sterling). It took 12 years, having started with the original group and Gerard Delacroix’s guidance. Your wonderful results make me want to start all over again. Are you using a CNC SYSTEM? I’d love to see how you make those complex bevels on the hawse timbers and reproduce them for the opposite side!!

marsalv Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share #115 Posted November 28, 2019 Thank you guys for all your likes😉. To hdrinker: CNC milling maschine was used mainly for cutting of frames. But the beveling had to be done manually. Beveling of hawse timbers was somewhat more complicated. Aft, all the bulkheads are now completed. marktiedens, Hsae, j21896 and 27 others 29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
