Brig Le FAVORI 1806 by KORTES - 1:55

[KORTES]

Greetings , my dear Colleagues.  I've decided to show my work on brig. I have been thinking on building this shipper quite some time. I've found it on the web site  and wanted to have one. This is a sistership  Le Cynge. I'm building it using the blueprints of the last one because they are practically twins. The scale is  М 1: 55 , I've chosen this scale so the ship would fit in the apartment. Although I'm not completely sure that I would be able to build such a small one. I'm planning on using pear tree and painted hornbeam. I will use the excellent works of others Masters.

[KORTES]

The hull of the ship was made using the familiar technology. As a basis I was using 8mm plywood  glued from two pieces. 

[KORTES]

I ve made a temporary slip way. Unfastened the frames.

I've adjusted the height of the side of the ship.

Preliminary markup.

[KORTES]

I bought a painted hornbeam. Now I will have a stock.

[KORTES]

Completed the inset of gun ports. Although I had to remake it afterwards. But everything is fixable, the strength of the case allows to remake it.

Performed inset rowing ports

Hello,

a solidly built hull is the best condition for a wonderful model.

And it certainly will be!

[KORTES]

Thank you , dear colleagues,  for your feedback.

My best regards

[KORTES]

I have finished the side plating. 

[KORTES]

I bought a yellow hornbeam for covering the outer side. Let's see how it looks.

[KORTES]

I made a simple template for marking oared ports.

[KORTES]

I made blanks for making the imitation of blocks embedded in the board, I will refine them in the future.

[KORTES]

I have sheathed the inside and outside of the stern.

[KORTES]

Now it's done , but I haven't installed a lump decor yet. I decided not to cut it, but tried to make it from several parts instead .

Sneeeeeaky! Veeeeeerrrry Sneaky! I like how this turned out though, a creative way to solve those decoration pieces. Great job on this ship model.

[KORTES]

I have begun to carry out the finishing of the hull. Its the  first time that I do it with a combination of two colors - black hornbeam and pear.

I’m so glad to see you working on a new project Alexander.  Your La Jacinthe is such a beautiful model and your build log of it was educational and very inspirational.  I know this new build is also going to be excellent and I look forward to watching you bring it life.  And what a great start!
