Alex, your log is wholly unique to the site and a pleasure to read, with marvelous works that both inspire and amaze.

 

It is really fascinating to see the progression of your carving skills, through your earlier vessels like L’Ambiteaux, Le Francoise, etc.

 

The detail has always been there, but there is now a lightness and animated quality to the work that is really extraordinary.  It’s such a vague and indeterminant quality to describe or quantify, but you have certainly achieved it.

 

Here would be a fun, never before modeled winged project; Puget’s exuberantly ornamented Le Paris of 1668 (later renamed and redecorated as La Royal Therese):

 

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am very happy to have received grateful readers. It is a pleasure to share what is going on in my work. It concerns emotions, thoughts or some difficulties that unexpectedly appear. 
And I'm glad that I can always ask for help when I don't get something right or have questions about theory. I always see support here. It is inspiring. Thank you very much!

You once again give unique images. I have a separate folder on my computer where I collect all your sketches. Thank you. You are a great connoisseur of ship's history. I can't imagine how long it takes to find so many unique photos.

Aleksandr: The name is derived from an American English slang word meaning 'to vomit'. 

 

I absolutely agree with Hubac's comment on the quality of your carving work.

Thank you very much for your patient explanation of meanings in English. Now I can add another word to my vocabulary after “I need your clothes”. Just have to be careful with it. I don't want to accidentally say it in front of my spouse. She might think I'm making weird innuendos about her kitchen. And then I'd have to yell Help me! Somebody help me! 🙂

I hope it's clear that this is just a joke. 

 

I actually adore both my wife and the way she cooks. 

 

Honey, if you read this, read only what's highlighted. You don't need to look at the rest.

Yes, because this early period in the development of the French navy - before the widespread use of plans - interests me so much, I am constantly searching for contemporary portraits that give an overall sense of line, proportion and decor.
