moreplovac Posted June 28 Author #31 Posted June 28 A bit more work done today... The ruler provides close to required angle but still some work by hands needs to be done to make sure all fits nicely... A bit more filling is required... Happy modelling.. mtaylor, CiscoH, Mike Y and 6 others 9 Quote
moreplovac Posted July 18 Author #32 Posted July 18 Ok, after few weeks holidays, I am back on line and behind the mill.... will continue with build soon I finish washing my car, after 8000km.... fairly dirty.. Happy modelling.. Tobias, mtaylor and CiscoH 3 Quote
moreplovac Posted July 26 Author #33 Posted July 26 The build continues with assembling few parts, including keel... Also, I have cut the angle on the keel with a knife, file and sanding so will see end results.. Keel parts were glued together but was noted some curving on the keel so had to reassemble and glue them again with mora usage of wise and heavy objects.. Both parts done... Happy modelling... mtaylor, marsalv, No Idea and 3 others 6 Quote
moreplovac Posted July 26 Author #34 Posted July 26 Managed to get the keel straight... Now we can continue... Happy modelling.. No Idea, CiscoH, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote

moreplovac Posted July 28 Author #36 Posted July 28 (edited) Work on a bow continues. Few peaces cut and sanded not completely but enough to test assembly and some of the to be glued together... Now I need to find a way to transfer all rabbet lines on the other side of the part, most likely will use transparent paper and mirror image if original part... Happy modelling...

moreplovac Posted July 30 Author #37 Posted July 30 A bit more overnight glueing and parts are ready for final sending and cleanup... also rabbet line will need to be completed... Happy modelling.. No Idea, mtaylor, Tobias and 6 others 9 Quote
moreplovac Posted August 2 Author #38 Posted August 2 (edited) Third time - luck.... hopefully learned something from my mistakes... First one - broke the part above its potential repair.. Second one - too hard push with a chisel caused rabbet line to go sideways.. above potential repair... So now it has to be a good one, since I don't have more lumber available... Happy modelling..

moreplovac Posted August 7 Author #40 Posted August 7 After few attempts, I managed to get one done; I will leave it as-is and adjust if needed more in the further steps... it took me really much of effort to get it done, understand the curvature and how it supposed to look, what tools to use for carving, etc... Anyhow moving forward... Few attempts discarded after different failures... All work was done using chisels and scrappers.. This is it, just need to glue the last piece, already sanded and ready.. Happy modelling... I think I might update this to "Happy modelling - patiently" Cheers mtaylor, druxey, Ronald-V and 9 others 12 Quote
moreplovac Posted August 8 Author #41 Posted August 8 Continue with a keel work... A bit afterwards cleanup is needed to remove excess glue.... I do have one question, can anyone point me to some other build thread that do have a full picture of a wing-transom (#1) visible; I have some challenges visualizing the end result... really appreciated.. this is my test attempt.. Happy modelling.. mtaylor, davyboy, Tobias and 5 others 8 Quote
No Idea Posted August 8 #42 Posted August 8 Hi you are doing a great job here. These pictures may help yvesvidal, mtaylor, Tobias and 3 others 6 Quote
moreplovac Posted August 9 Author #43 Posted August 9 Yes. Thank you, that helped a lot... Regards.. mtaylor 1 Quote
No Idea Posted August 9 #44 Posted August 9 If it helps this is my Le Rochefort build - I too am very much learning on the job but I have received much help on this forum to get me to this point. Also Gerard Delacroix is a member of this forum and always answers my questions regarding this lovely ship when I get stuck. Drop him a message I'm sure he will be more than happy to help. Tobias, moreplovac and mtaylor 3 Quote
Tobias Posted August 9 #45 Posted August 9 I can only agree with Mark, G. Delacroix is always very helpful, and when I have questions I always turn to him, although in the French forum. I can only recommend it, there you will find around 15 Le Rochefort and a chapter with general questions specifically for Le Rochefort. Among others, Adrian @a.sorolla is always there to help and advise. mtaylor, moreplovac and druxey 3 Quote Auf der Werkbank: Corvette La Palme (L'Amarante) von 1744 POF nach Plänen von Ancre https://modelshipworld.com/topic/32046-la-palme-by-tobias-136-pof/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29843-le-coureur-1776-by-tobias-caf-148/ LE ROCHEFORT - Hafenyacht von 1787 1:36 von Tobias (Monographie von ANCRE) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/34810-le-rochefort-1787-by-tobias-136-harbor-yacht-from-ancre-monograph/
moreplovac Posted August 13 Author #46 Posted August 13 I was watching Olympics and those top players do have few attempts to come to the best result..... so I decided to redo my Le Rochefort keel since I noticed few small mistakes that might bite me towards the end of this very nice build.... Here we go, a new set of copied plans, transferred and parts cut... also, you might notice a speeding up attempt in my cut parts... well.... if we can simulate planking on the deck, lets see how this would work.....

moreplovac Posted August 25 Author #51 Posted August 25 Keel building process continues... lots of repetitions (my mistakes) and trying to use the most of available woods takes plenty of build time... but I am getting there... This is a final version, no more "build it again", no more wood available at this moment so hopefully all will be done fine. A little bit of a cleanup and sanding is still needed.. Continue with other keel parts, like sternson knee, which I have sanded on disk sander to get correct shape. I had one over-sanded result so ended up redoing it using some old wood parts.. The rabbet line is also taken care of, using a small chisel and lots of scraping, bellow first line with a V chisel. Copy of the plan with draw lines on the opposite site using a light table to see thru... I don't have a printing option to print mirror image of a plan part so had to mark lines using old fashioned method, light table... Still work in progress, not done with rabbet lines, which i find the most difficult to trace, at least for me. Happy modelling.. Maxthebuilder, davyboy, Mike Y and 5 others 8 Quote
No Idea Posted August 25 #52 Posted August 25 I built my axial parts twice on my build to get them right. It’s so important to get the spine of this lovely ship correct as every thing else follows. I admire your efforts to get this section correct well done mate 👍 moreplovac and mtaylor 2 Quote
moreplovac Posted September 6 Author #53 Posted September 6 To break routine a bit, started to work on frames... Just testing, no glue and no final sanding completed.. So far goes well, the only challenge is that my wood planks were 6mm thick and frames are all 5mm so need to send down each frame individually... Will be an expert in sanding at the end. Happy modelling.. mtaylor, No Idea, Mike Y and 3 others 6 Quote
druxey Posted September 6 #54 Posted September 6 Good start on your frames. Just a few more to go.... mtaylor and moreplovac 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv

moreplovac Posted September 7 Author #58 Posted September 7 Thank you Brian; it is hard to stay focused at the beginning when you are just cutting pieces but when it starts to get a shape than all exitement begins.. bdgiantman2 and mtaylor 2 Quote
