I think it will take 2 weeks as soon as possible, I need to wait for the casting factory to produce the parts Most of the work has been done, followed by packaging and inspection I haven't finished the remaining masts and sails. I'll start to finish the samples next week If I have time, I'd like to make an oil painting for Le coureur。I haven't painted for a long time，I hope it can be finished by the end of the year yvesvidal, Nirvana, mtaylor and 5 others 8 Quote

If so, you will be the first I have seen doing a great job of directing where lines are supposed to be going.

BobG Posted August 9, 2020 #171 Posted August 9, 2020 I noticed that you have a POF alignment fixture for sale also. Do you use this fixture when you build models like the Le Coureur and the Enterprise? mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

BobG Posted August 9, 2020 #173 Posted August 9, 2020 The many details you have added to the interior of the ship are fantastic. From the photos, it looks like some of the deck planks on the port side are left off so you can see down into the ship and see the barrels and boxes etc. Is any of the planking on the port side left open also so you can see the interior from the port side? Thanks. mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

cafmodel Posted August 10, 2020 Author #174 Posted August 10, 2020 Yes, the next Granado, I'll try to separate it up and down so that the structure inside will be fully displayed, And the top and bottom can be closed or separated, This is a little difficult.

BobG Posted August 10, 2020 #175 Posted August 10, 2020 I'm not sure that I'm understanding. The deck of the Le Coureur is open on the port side so we can see down into the hull but the sides of the hull are not open. Is this correct? mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Tankerman Posted August 10, 2020 #176 Posted August 10, 2020 Bob, I would guess that it is up to you whether to leave some planks off on either the port or starboard side of the hull. With all the frames in place the structural integrity of the hull is secure and you could even decide not to plank one side at all. That is how I interpret Tom's intentions.

BobG Posted August 10, 2020 #177 Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks, Chris. That's what I was thinking. I couldn't tell from the photos whether or not he had left any openings on the port side to be able to view the interior. I wasn't sure why you would add so many nice details inside the hull if you were then going to cover them up. It seems to be a very nice model. mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Bobbuild Posted August 11, 2020 #178 Posted August 11, 2020 CAFModel Are you thinking of doing a boxwood version and if so when would that be released? Thank you mtaylor 1 Quote
cafmodel Posted August 11, 2020 Author #179 Posted August 11, 2020 Hello ,I have bought some boxwood, but the wood is still wet and can't be cut。I think it needs to be kept until the end of this year。 I'm also looking for dry boxwood。 KentM, JeffT and mtaylor 3 Quote
cafmodel Posted August 11, 2020 Author #180 Posted August 11, 2020 Hello, I haven't cut my left rib yet, I'm thinking about whether I need to cut these ribs Because his ribs are quite different from salamandre's Salamandre's ribs are only 2 mm apart, so you can't see the structure clearly without cutting the ribs，But the distance between the ribs of Le coureur is big enough to see the internal structure. Of course, if you want to see the inside more clearly, you need to cut the ribs。 The other thing is how different these jagged ribs are, and I want to keep them more Of course, all of this depends on what kind of effect you need to express mtaylor, KentM, BobG and 2 others 5 Quote
