MICHELE PADOAN Posted September 13, 2022 #1 Posted September 13, 2022 The VOLAGE forward section and aft section, scale 1/24. Longboat of 1693, monograph by Jean-Claude Lemineur. "The longboat is a small military bastion at the base of the Royal Navy's classification. A Dunkirk specialty, the Volage is operated in 1693 by René Levasseur at a time when France launched a major racing war against English commerce. Her field of action is essentially the English Channel, and her fairly specific masting and equipment are well adapted to it.Sixty-three ½ feet long and 16 feet wide, she is armed with ten 4-pound guns. Her equipment consists of fifty men and two officers who share a relatively small space, this is limited to the surface of the battery deck and the quarterdeck; there is no false deck. One of its main features is a deck offset aft to give the commander's room the normal height below the quarterdeck, all including the height of the dead works. The role of the longboat in naval armies is mainly that of the transmission of orders. It is also used for escorting merchant convoys and coastal surveillance. Its qualities are highly valued by privateers. The existence of the longboat will end with the reign of Louis XIV. During the 18th century the size of the boat will increase, it will take the name of corvette, and the caliber of artillery will increase from 4 to 6 pounds around 1750."

Hai reso i suoi seni decisamente più grandi del disegno, e questa è un'ottima cosa. Yves And yeah, in the end I went for this solution, on the drawing it looked too masculine.

MICHELE PADOAN Posted September 23, 2022 Author #19 Posted September 23, 2022 I made the supports of the two sections. Both are centered and at the same level taking into account the boat's leaning. I also wanted to make an opening in the panel so you can see the interior when the picture is not hanging. I like the idea and find it very original, this way all the work of the interior is not "lost". So I decided to display the two sections no with the characteristic plinth but with a painting with related themed frame, side by side, showing the front of both. I also chose to use special patinas and waxes to give a somewhat lived-in look given the way they are displayed. GrandpaPhil, JpR62, scrubbyj427 and 5 others 6 2 Quote

MICHELE PADOAN Posted September 27, 2022 Author #28 Posted September 27, 2022 Good evening everyone, having finished the forward section, I continue with the aft section with the construction of the bottles. There are no doors or windows. Two panels only for decorative purposes, as simple in their function as they are complicated in their shapes. This is how I chose to set them up.
