marsalv Posted April 16 #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. Matt D, Mike Y, CiscoH and 23 others 21 5 Quote

marsalv Posted April 21 Author #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, Saburo, GrandpaPhil and 3 others 6 Quote
Saburo Posted April 21 #7 Posted April 21 Wonderful, another great project to follow, enjoy, and learn from. Thank you Marsalv. Bill mtaylor and Scottish Guy 2 Quote
marsalv Posted April 21 Author #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.

marsalv Posted May 5 Author #12 Posted May 5 To allanyed: Material used for this part is boxwood. The part is made using a cnc milling machine, which enables precise milling from both sides. The procedure can be seen in the photos in post 8. I continue with the construction of the wing transom. Mike Y, mtaylor, Tony Hunt and 16 others 13 1 5 Quote

marsalv Posted May 29 Author #25 Posted May 29 Making the hawse holes at this stage was a mistake, so I blinded them with a wooden plug and will drill them again after the planking. mtaylor, KentM, Ondras71 and 4 others 7 Quote

marsalv Posted June 12 Author #27 Posted June 12 I decided to finish and fit the frames in the front and back of the model first - these frames require more beveling and I want to get this done as soon as possible. druxey, albert, Ondras71 and 17 others 16 4 Quote

marsalv Posted June 16 Author #29 Posted June 16 To Hubac´s Historian: Thank you for nice comment, but be careful, we're just at the beginning (that was a joke ). The most beveled frames are done, the frames in the middle part don't have as much beveling anymore so it went a little faster. Saburo, Erik W, Ondras71 and 17 others 17 1 2 Quote
