Hi,

 

Start of model construction. Varangues and knees of 22 central couples. Waiting for wood for the axial frame.

See you soon

A very attractive ship, and it is nice to see a French subject. May I ask what wood are you using?

Thank you Bruce it's a pearwood.

This is off to a very promising start, and it is one of my favorite French ships.  I will gladly follow along.

Hi,

 

The wood having arrived (finally ..), I built the axial frame. It remains to make the rabbet then I continue the timbers.

 

 

See you soon,

😃

When you use the term varangues, does that refer to the lowest part of the frame, i.e. the floor timber?

[Mic.fr]

Yes JD. 😉
