Lovely work!. Are you familiar with the models and research of Texas A&M University who excavated her? If not check out http://nautarch.tamu.edu/model/report1/bellehull.htm

Hi Greg,

 

i searched a lot but i found nothing more about the La Belle. Thank you for this interesting link. It will help me in the future. 👍
I have this interesting work here from Catherine Corder.

Great subject, and great CAD work, too.

[Oliver1973]

Thank you, Chris 🙂

Beautiful CAD drawings, and beautiful craftsmanship on the stem so far!

 

Did you do the sketch drawing of the crew?

Hello Mark,

 

Thank you.  I only redraw the originalplan because there is a lot of geometrical errors in various parts. My CAD-Program is from the automotive sector and not the best for the hull and
freeform surfaces. But with my skill i can work with it and get a result to continue the work in the wood. Crewmembers, the carvings, are too complex for this programm and for my opinion not make sense to build on CAD.
I only need a clean base for my building. This "CAD-Project" only will continue to the deckbeams. For the rest i will follow the plan. Only the rigging i will make different.

Wow that is really impressive work! Interestingly I went away from LA BELLE towards L'AURORE 1766 due to the other decor. So I do follow your work very interested.

 

The mill seems also here to make it! Far away from your skills and abilities I am catching a seat and looking over your shoulder.

 

[Oliver1973]

Hello Heinrich,

 

thank you for your interest on my project and your kind words 👍.

Interesting method of creating a rabbet up the stem!

[JpR62]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing this method.

[Oliver1973]

Thanks Gentlemen,

the method was a test. But for my next project i will mill the rabbet with an 60 Degree milling tool. I think the result will be more sharper and more exactly.

[Oliver1973]

[druxey]

So many models do not have the knee tapered. Nicely done.

[Oliver1973]

Thank you, Druxey. 👍

Some progress. A little bit here, a little bit there....
