Good morning Mark @No Idea, thank you. Yes, the side pieces are awful. The first time I tried Adrian's method, but I failed. Then I remembered your report and tried this, it was much better, but still not satisfactory. Somehow I can't draw well enough to get the same effect. So I went back to the method I tried with the small side pieces on La Palm. First cut out the curved shape and then the side profile. It worked very well.

Chuck · April 1

Fine work...very sharp and well executed.

Tobias in hindsight I should have used your method as it's far more accurate than the way I made these parts. When it came for me to apply the planking to the dogs legs I had to thin them out to get the correct hull shape. This pretty much showed my errors in the way that I made them. I can see by the way that you have made yours you will not have the same experience as me. I shall be using your method on my next build and thanks for sharing how you did these difficult parts. Cheers Mark 😃

Hello Chuck @Chuck, thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I am following your construction of the Speedwell with great interest, as I plan to start it after Le Rochefort and La Palme. I bought the books almost two years ago and have already enlarged the plans to 1:36.

@giampieroricciRicci, thank you too for your comment, it is always a pleasure when you stop by my blog, see you in October in Evina.

Thank you for your comments and the likes received, always much appreciated.

The waterway has been made and the first planks have found their place on the deck. As Mark already mentioned in his build log, this is a bit tricky because they are twisted and have changing angles. Make decorative strips, measure the height and mark them with the help of tape.

Thank you for your visit and see you soon.

Hello everyone, thank you for the likes. The deck is finished with the planks, I don't want to add anything else to give a good view of the interior. Testing the various structures, anchor winch holder, etc. everything is in place and fits perfectly. Next up is the nails, two rows are already done.

Hello everyone,

Hello Albert, thank you and thank you for all the likes you have received.

A little update from the little harbor yacht.

No Idea · July 13

Fabulous work Tobias your ship is really taking shape

Tobias · July 29

We continue with a small update, expansion of the rear area with the small beds and cupboards.

Mike Y · August 10

Very neat! Beautiful parts, like the subtle wood colour contrast

Tobias · August 14

Hello Mike, thank you for your nice comment, your work is also wonderful and precise.

Now a few smaller details that are very time-consuming.

Tobias · August 18

Good morning everyone,

the work on the Le Rochefort is coming to an end. A few small things will be done in the next few days, but nothing earth-shattering before the summer break begins. The Admiralty and yours truly are heading south and we will spend two lovely weeks on the coast of Croatia. Now a few final pictures, this time in original size with all the parts made so far and shown dry on the ship. This will also be the construction stage with which I will attend the international meeting in Evian in October. What still needs to be done after the holiday is the construction of the transport and exhibition showcases. I would like to thank you again for all the comments and likes, but also for the odd tip and the odd criticism, which is just as important as praise.

Hello Durxey and Mark, thank you.

Tobias · October 8

Good morning colleagues, the holiday was too short as always but that's life. Now to Le Rochefort, the whales have been installed, the port side has also been planked and the captain's cabin has got its doors. I would also like to thank you for your visit, the comments and your likes.

albert · October 8

Albert and Mustafa, thank you for the encouraging comment and everyone else for your likes. This weekend I was visiting France with the German delegation and was able to take part in a great meeting with my French colleagues. Here are a few impressions.
