ancre L'Amarante 1749 by giampieroricci - FINISHED - 1:30 - French Corvette

Hi Giampi very nice work.

[giampieroricci]

Wonderful Giampiero. You rarely see the rudder coat included on models. I suspect that fitting and nailing it over the tiller opening is not easy!

 

In fact it was like performing surgery, especially because ebony needs to be drilled before nailing.....

[wyz]

G man, everything you do turns out beautiful.  I think you hit more home runs than Hank Aaron.

Following your work as well. Just catching up, and as usual updates are brilliant. From a few clicks back, those doors and hinges are beyond perfect. (:-)

Thank you for your likes and comments, fiends! I'm happy that you like my work!....

 

I prepared the stern coffers:

 

 

 

 

to fix the hinges I have used these wonderful rivets 0,5x2 mm

Your "small updates" would be for most of, well major milestones (:-)

As usual brilliant. That chair. for example is well - (as we say here in the USA) - "ridiculous"  It's a huge compliment (:-)

 

Cheers,

Just beautiful, Giampiero.  Is the ebony laid onto the decoration of the rails in the last 4 pictures?

Hi Giampiero, beautiful work.

[archjofo]

Hello Giampiero,

wonderful detail work!

[giampieroricci]

Just beautiful, Giampiero.  Is the ebony laid onto the decoration of the rails in the last 4 pictures?

 

 

Yes, Mark! It was very difficult to build it....

 

This is the other, with the small bell:

Love the photo that is 2nd from the bottom. Very elegant lines of the frames, and a beautiful finish! Sweeet!

[mtaylor]

I love your inlay work.   And as Mike pointed out, that 2nd from the last picture is wonderful.

[md1400cs]

Here we go again - with "little progress" awesome indeed. Brilliant work.

I am learning a lot from you, apart from just enjoying the absolute beauty of your skills with this log. Thank You !

[giampieroricci]

Thank you, my friends!

 

Another little progress:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[giampieroricci]

I completed the formwork railing

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started the construction of the gun deck with the construction of the hook pins for the artillery:

 

 

 

 

[mtaylor]

Now that a detail one doesn't often see actually done on the French models.   Impressive work, Giampiero.

[GuntherMT]

Everything about this model is impressive, and your attention to details is simply amazing.

[albert]

Hi Giampiero, great work very nice.

[dgbot]

Your  railing is perfect.  Not clunky but stream lined.  As for your hooks well done.

David B

[giampieroricci]

Thank you for your compliment, friends!

 

 

Wow, how many of these hooks you have to made?

 

Dirk

 

This corvette has 12 guns: I have to do a total of 24 hooks.......      

[giampieroricci]

I finished all the hooks with ring and set them on:

 

 

 

 

[giampieroricci]

I started to build the doors for the oars; the major difficulty has been to be able to realize the hinges so that they were functional.

 

 

First, by a thin copper foil has formed the curved part:

 

 

I filed the interior with the grinding wheel after drilling the holes 0.3 mm

 

 

I finished the outside

 

 

 

I made the hinges by cutting half with the grinding wheel

 

 

 

The part of the hinge to be fixed at side

 

 

 

 

[giampieroricci]

burnishing

 

 

the little door

 

 

I fixed the hinges with these beautiful rivets round head  0,3x2 mm

 

 

and this is the end result: the photos are all in super-macro!

 

 

The door is fully functional, although it is terribly delicate!

 

 

 

 

[mtaylor]

Fantastic micro work.  I'm surprised you could make something that tiny functional.  Very well done.
