Jeronimo Posted September 17, 2019 #1 Posted September 17, 2019 " LE CENTAURE 1782" Scale 1/36 April 2015 I started with the construction of the model and soon realized, "that is a big think". I wanted to present it as a cross-section model with complete interior design, in the style of my model BONHOMME RICHARD 1779. On some whim I finished the construction Oktober 2016, all nicely packed and mothballed. I still want to show the images of the construction protocol, and have the hope that it will eventually be built further. The sequence of images extends over a period of eighteen month in the time-lapse mode. Karl (Google Translator) SJSoane, Diver, allanyed and 40 others 43 Quote

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted September 17, 2019 #4 Posted September 17, 2019 As usual, Karl is showing us a very high quality work. 6 hours ago, Jeronimo said: still want to show the images of the construction protocol, and have the hope that it will eventually be built further. The series of Book on the 74 guns written by Jean Boudriot will always be the best reference to learn and understand the construction of ship. I surely would like to see more of that 74! mtaylor and Jeronimo 2 Quote

The inboard doors would go into the captain's cabin. The area below that is basically a "ward room" for the other officers (to use a modern term).

Sailor1234567890 Posted September 27, 2019 #9 Posted September 27, 2019 But why two doors to the same cabin? surely an unnecessary intrusion point for water? Quote

I think the word "style" works here. The French had some very beautiful ships with their carvings, motifs, etc. Wooden ships were not all that watertight compared to steel ones. The hulls were well calked but rain and waves could put water into the hold pretty quick due to the number stairs, gratings, etc. including many (especially frigates) have the open center section.

Sailor1234567890 Posted September 30, 2019 #12 Posted September 30, 2019 I suppose the style answer might be the best we ever see. Makes sense. I was thinking that in the back of my mind by my mariner instincts told me nobody would cut extra holes in their vessel that weren't absolutely needed. mtaylor 1 Quote
Jeronimo Posted May 7, 2020 Author #13 Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hello model building friends. After completing the "ROYAL CAROLINE", the question arose, what now? The solution is the already existing "74 GunShip" section. The pictures show the current state of construction. I will have to make some changes to the rear/mirror first because I decided it must be the "LE CENTAURE 1782" . A big help in the constructionof this model, especially in the interior, will be Gaetan Bordeleau with his 74 GunShip model.

Jeronimo Posted May 10, 2020 Author #14 Posted May 10, 2020 The conversion / dismantling / demolition, will probably take some time. The plan drawings of the rear view are not congruent. Karl druxey, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote

Jeronimo Posted July 27, 2020 Author #27 Posted July 27, 2020 Hello and thanks to everyone for their kind comments. Orlop Deck, Dividing walls and pumps-shaft installed. I leave the shaft partly open to show the pumps and the cannonball shaft with its three diffrent calibres. First gun deck, partially planked to show the substructure. Next I will probably install the ballast stones and storage barrels. Karl Captain Poison, MEDDO, garyshipwright and 10 others 13 Quote
Jeronimo Posted August 9, 2020 Author #28 Posted August 9, 2020 Production of the storage barrels in the individual work steps. Although I didn't fill the entire storage room with it. The ballast stones should actually be a bit smaller and more rounded, but I didn't get them anywhere. Also works like that. Gerard Delacroix once wrote to me, Ballast stones were roughly the size of a walnut. Ballast stones were mixed thoroughly with grinding ground sa an adhesive, and filled up between the individual barrels. Karl GrandpaPhil, Captain Poison, Siggi52 and 11 others 14 Quote
