Hubac's Historian Posted March 22, 2021 Share #151 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, Sailor1234567890 said: Ah. Cool. Thanks. I wonder what the etymology of it is in French. Quarter Galleries are a gallery on the quarter of the ship so that's easy but why "Bottle" in French? I think they are called bottles because the early baroque silhouette of French quarter galleries were reminiscent of elaborately shaped perfume bottles. The term stuck, through the ages of sail, even as the style of QGs became increasingly austere. Given their function, however, it seems unlikely that they smelled like perfume.

For the glasses of the light I used a simple sheet of very thin transparent plastic. For the door, I used a two-component resin; the result does not satisfy me very much: I had done a test on a similar piece and it had turned out very well; in Italy it is said: not all donuts succeed with a hole!😄 druxey, Jorge Diaz O, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giampieroricci Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share #175 Posted April 24, 2021 I made a mistake on coloring the light cables Rudolf, dvm27, G.L. and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrecerf Posted April 25, 2021 Share #176 Posted April 25, 2021 Giampiero, the brown coloring of the "light cables" is shown on some authentic period French ship models of the National Maritime Museum in Paris and on the cover of a modern issue of Traité de la fabrique des manœuvres pour les vaisseaux, ou l'Art de la corderie perfectionné, 1747. I will send a photo later. IMHO the darker "cables" look like "goudronné" which means soaked with tarry substance like the famous Stockholm Tar. I personally like the soft colour contrast between the shrouds and the "light cables" much better than the drastic Black and White seen on many models. Greetings and your Venus is very beautiful!
