Le Fleuron 1729 by RobinB87 - Scale 1:48 - First Scratch build - Body method M. Bezverhny


Recommended Posts

Hello from the Netherlands!

 

In this build log i will post the updates of my scratch build of Le Fleuron. Bought 4-5 years ago the book and plans of Ancre, very nice and helpful!🤩

This is my first scratch build of a ship, and i started today with the real build. I've read and study for about 3-4 years about this ship, and made the drawings to start my build. I use the method a lot of Russian modelers also use, didn't see it often on forums.

I have never had my own build log on a forum, but i thought i give it a chance. I also need some help i think in the future😉😁 

 

Greeting Robin.

This looks to be the method Dr. Mike uses for his models. I am happy to see a build log starting at the beginning for this technique.

Hi,

 

its a very interesting, and i find it also a easy way of making my hull contours. It was a little bit of a struggle at first to discover how everything was done with the drawing part but after some small tests i think i am on the right track now😄

 

If there is some interest i can make a "how to" build log from the beginning. The drawing part is the most difficult part i think to understand. I am to far now and didn't make more pictures than these, but if i order some new drawings in the nearby future i can create a small part of a hull from start to finish.

Just let me now, then i collect how much interest there is.😉

 

Best regards,

Robin.

Best regards,

Robin.

Hello,

 

today i started with making my building-boards.

After the drawing part i made two corresponding long "ribs", Those are the backbone of the ship and hopefully they hold my ship straight and square🤞😁

Also i made a false keel to mount everything straight and i made it 2,5 mm thick (half keel minus rabbit).

After that i start mounting every 5 or 6th rib, i glued them in place and those are my markers, i'll fit the rest between those. Those i will not glue at first, but later when all the sanding is done.....you'll see when i am on that point in the future.

Hello!

Long time i now...😅..but this year im finally ready to go for it again. We had a few years ago some damage on the roof of my house and almost done renovating my whole house... BUT.. most of my drawings are lost due to waterdamage that few years ago!😣 

I contacted Ancre but they wil not send new plans 48 scale only 36 scale. But i dont want to recalculate every  measurment🙈

Is there somebody who will sell these to me so i can start again/continue? Or is there somebody who can tell me where i can get the set in 1/48?

 

Fingers crossed!!!

Greetings Robin.

Best regards,

Robin.

Great so far. I'm thinking of using Dr Mikes method or similar on my next project too. I guess you lofted the frames yourself from the plans ? That's one part I hope to avoid. One thing though. I think you want the grain running vertically not horizontally. ?
