Hello Tobias,

 

Your work is coming along great and inspiring me to get started on my build.

Great work, Tobias! You take your time to get every step just right and that will in turn pay dividends as you progress. Beautiful model.

Hello all,

I have continued with the inner boards, one board has to be partially interlocked by inserting boards to prevent dirt from falling between the inner and outer boards.

 

First the plan of the inner planks

Fit the plank and mill grooves at a 15 degree angle.

Glue in the plank and wait while I made the inlay boards.

Attach and glue the planks.

Thanks for all your likes and comments, have a nice Sunday.

[Tobias]

Hello everyone, an error happened to me that GD drew my attention to in the French forum, see for yourself with the drawing by @G. Delacroix.

 Unfortunately I couldn't correct my mistake, the glue sticks too well and unfortunately it's not water-soluble.  I've decided to let it go before I do too much damage.
In the last few days I went to bed a bit, my grandchild infected me with a cough, snotty nose and everything that belongs to a real cold and so I had enough time to do some research.
The inner floorboards:
There is a slightly thicker and wider board at the level of the ramparts (inside), which is also provided with teeth and serves as a support for the crossbeams.  I have now made these and gone through the plans with GD.  
 

There is a planning board on which various cross-sections can be seen, which I use as height reference points, the longitudinal section is not suitable for this, I get a different height ratio.

 

 

[Tobias]

A small update for the weekend.

The battens for the deck beams were attached on both sides. To determine the height, I used the plan with the cross-sections of the frames and marked them, then attached braces and watered and fitted the battens.

 

 

 

I let the whole thing dry for 24 hours and then fixed it.

 

A few planks were attached and during the drying time I started with the oven.

Great beautiful work Tobias.

[Tobias]

A small update.

Thank you for your likes and encouragement.
Slowly but steadily there are more rows.

Hello Tobias,

Your work is coming along great and looks fantastic.

Hi Tobias - nice work mate.  I see that the stem is now full of planks but you still have a few to install.  How are you going to get all of the planks running to the stem?  Are you going to trim the one's installed or taper the outstanding ones into the clamp?

[Tobias]

Hello and good morning,

The starboard side is planked up to deck height.

 

Thank you for your interest and all the likes received, much appreciated.

 

@No Idea about your question, there are slight translation problems and I hope I understand it correctly. I tapered the individual planks with a plane. For reference, there is a plan page with 6 cross sections, I used this to determine the width of the individual boards. I hope I have understood your question correctly and could answer it.

 

 

 

From January I will start a small side project, Le Rochefort.

 

[ChrisLBren]

Looks really nice Tobias !!!!

[Seventynet]

Beautiful work Tobias. I’m really enjoying your build.

At the moment I come a little less often to La Palme because I have started with Le Rochefort on the side. The first tree nails have found their place. First I wanted to make the nail picture with brass pins, however, I was not sure and have asked precaution at GD. Now it will be tree nails. The first attempt was it with walnut wood this seemed to me but too dark, now I make them in pear and maple.
 

 

 

 

I treated a small area with sanding primer to see how it worked.
 
Sanding primer what is it, It is now used by some Europeans and is nothing more than a colorless primer for wood which gives a very nice Finnish. Apply 1 time and work with steel wool and then apply again and polish with 400 sandpaper. Unfortunately, I have learned from colleagues in America that there is no such thing there. Attached are pictures of the product and the Finnish of a colleague.

In the States it is called sanding sealer.  There are several brands, both acrylic and solvent based.  Beautiful work, as always.

[Tobias]

A little progress 2282 holes have been drilled and approx. 1400 nails have already been set.  Now I still have the last frames 32-52 ahead of me.

I'm sorry that there aren't too many updates at the moment, but I've started another project as you can see in the picture.  Both in 1:36 scale
 

 

[Mic_Nao]

Very nice build.

[Tobias]

Hello everyone,

the nailing is done.  

 

In the next few days I will continue on Le Rochefort.  

 

Both on a scale of 1:36, here is a picture of both ships together.

[albert]

Great beautiful work.

[Mike Y]

Very beautiful build! Picking up some ideas from you, appreciate the "in progress" photos!

[Tobias]

First of all I want to thank you for all the likes and the comments, much appreciated.  I had found some time in the last two days to continue building on La Palme.  It's a minor update.  Thanks again for the encouragement and your feedback.

Hello Tobias,
by happenstance I found your report here at MSW today. 
I know your fantastic work. But it's nice that you also present your work here in this very well known forum.

Hello John, thank you.  I came to MSW through Ed Tosti and his amazing Naiad protocol.  It's the research that keeps you from just being in one forum.  @albert, @No Ideaor you Johann and many others are inspirational for me.  I'm also on the road in the French forum to get as much information as possible.  Of course you also want to show your model and it's a great feeling when you like it and it's well received.

[Tobias]

In the last 2 days I've gotten the hull in shape a bit.  The finishing touches are still missing.  Thanks for your interest.
 

 

 

 

[Tobias]

After I sanded the hull, I started the interior work.

 

 

 

 

[Tobias]

Hello fellow model builders,

 

the last few days have been fine tuning and today I milled the water groove in the frames.  Tools used Ruler and pencil for marking, a rasp and a dremel with a round head router.

 

 

[Keith Black]

 Not that I've seen every model ship ever made but I've never seen anyone add a water groove before. I see the logic for doing so, thank you for adding to my limited knowledge. 

[mtaylor]

Pardon my ignorance but what's a "water groove"? I've not seen nor heard of that nor find a reference.

Hi Mark I mean the recess at the bottom of the frames, unfortunately I do not know the correct name. In this recess is also often a chain installed to loosen larger debris and to ensure that the brackish water can run to the pumps.
