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.

Saburo Posted April 21 Share #7 Posted April 21 Wonderful, another great project to follow, enjoy, and learn from. Thank you Marsalv. Bill mtaylor and Scottish Guy 2 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.

marsalv Posted May 5 Author Share #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.

ChrisLBren Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM Share #21 Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM Great tutorial - Im still stuck on these on my LGV build - which has spacers between the extensions as you know makes it more complex.
