François de Saint Nazaire Posted July 9, 2023 #1 Posted July 9, 2023 Bonjour, The Granado is my second wooden ship build these year. This follows the ship Endurance which you can follow the link to in the MSW gallery. Before to start I learned many things with the forum. Thank You Timmo, Joe, Kevin, Brian, Vane... I was a little bit disappointed when I opened the box because 3 sheets missing. Thanks to Glenn (Cornwall) the problem was rapidly solve. Like everybody the fitted of the gunport pattern is not easy. At the end Ithe gunport cutouts of each pattern (port and starboard) were not fully aligned (1-2mm) !

François de Saint Nazaire Posted October 8, 2023 Author #9 Posted October 8, 2023 Hi, The whale and the second planking from the wale to the false keel is finished. The second planking is laid using 1x4 mm walnut. The color of the walnut is very heterogenous. I used the darker for the bottom. I did 3 dropstrakes close to the sternpost. Next step the upper gun deck and may be the sternpost and the stern counter even it should be to a later stage according to the instructions. For the white painting I think that is too early.

François de Saint Nazaire Posted November 29, 2023 Author #14 Posted November 29, 2023 Thank you Brian, it is good to share the same project you in USA and me in France. The net is magic. Like you, may be, I will not paint the hull in white. Next step for me the stern Fascia ! Have a nice day Ryland Craze 1 Quote François ________________ Completed : - Endurance (log - Gallery)(OcCre), Granado 1756 - HM Bomb vessel - JoTiKa/Caldercraft - 1:64
HardeeHarHar Posted November 29, 2023 #15 Posted November 29, 2023 I agree, the net is an amazing help for communities like model ship builders. I'd be lost without it, and my boat building efforts would look much more pathetic! I look forward to seeing your work with the stern fascia, bending it and getting it in the right place, etc. I am considering whether I want to paint the hull on the Sphinx now that I am making some progress on it, but I have a long way to go before I really need to worry about that part. I'll be getting back to the HMS Granado in a few weeks, and I will make sure to send some pictures of the modest progress I have made as of late.

François de Saint Nazaire Posted December 16, 2023 Author #16 Posted December 16, 2023 Hello, Stern fascia and stern counter doned and also the famous quaterdeck bulkhead. My friends suggest to paint the bulkhead in red instead of the french blue and to paint the decal in gold. Quaterdeck fitted and planked with the grating, The quaterdeck bulwarks is finish and the capping rails in progress. bruce d, Ryland Craze, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote François ________________ Completed : - Endurance (log - Gallery)(OcCre), Granado 1756 - HM Bomb vessel - JoTiKa/Caldercraft - 1:64

François de Saint Nazaire Posted December 29, 2023 Author #19 Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Hello, During holidays I did the rudder ( I'm not so happy of the result, the rudder pintle straps and the hull gudgeon straps are not fully in line with the AOTS), deck guns and carriage (without the rigging I will do it later) and I start the windlass with belfry (nice piece from Jotika). As you notice I will not paint the hull in white. May be my last post before the new year. Ami modéliste je vous souhaite un excellent réveillon !

François de Saint Nazaire Posted January 28 Author #24 Posted January 28 Thank you, Brian. As you may notice, I was inspired by Timmo and Joe V for the colors of the transom. I also added rudder pendants with cable as mentioned in Wolfram zu Mondfeld's book.

François de Saint Nazaire Posted February 10 Author #27 Posted February 10 (edited) Thank you Brian, For the rigging, it was inspired by a the book of David Antscherl. I will not fit the training tackle. I will not coil the rope like a "fromage". It was not possible to used tackle hooks (too small!).

François de Saint Nazaire Posted March 2 Author #28 Posted March 2 Hello, Soon, the mast and the rigging will be done. It's already been 8 months! This kit is great. I'm currently assembling the channels, chain plates and deadeyes I'll likely wait until the shrouds are fitted to ensure the chainplates are secured to the hull at the correct angle.
