marsalv Posted April 16 Share #1 Posted April 16 Hello everyone. Last year I successfully completed the construction of the Le Gros Ventre model according to Gerard Delacroix's monograph and I chose L'Amarante as the next model (also according to GD's monograph). I started the construction of the POF at the end of last year and will gradually publish photos from the construction process here. First, I made a jig for installing the individual frames on the keel and started assembling the keel.

marsalv Posted April 21 Author Share #6 Posted April 21 To tartane: - L´Amarante is sloop of war which was designed by J.L. Ollivier. There were three versions that differed only in decoration - La Palme, L´Anemone and L´Amarante. Some information about the ship's history is from the GD monograph - see photo. mtaylor, Scottish Guy, Saburo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted April 21 Author Share #8 Posted April 21 Thanks to all. Knee of the head. With Le Gros Ventre, I installed the knee of the head only on the already completely finished hull, which caused me a bit of a problem (the gap between the stem and the knee of the head). That's why I decided to make and attach the knee of the head already at this stage of the construction. In this case, the installation went without any problems. davyboy, GrandpaPhil, scrubbyj427 and 10 others 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
