jose_b Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Posted August 14, 2014 Hello. I'm building L'Amarante, a french corvette, at 1/40 scale, a bit smaller than the original on the monograph (1/36) by Gérard Delacroix. I'm using pear wood and ebony, by now. I've done the keel and the stern frame (except the fashion pieces and its upper parts). This model has got 52 frames. I've started from stern (52) to stern (1). Best regards. Landlubber Mike, Omega1234, Mike 41 and 4 others 7 Quote Building Le François: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9952-le-fran%C3%A7ois-by-jose-scale-1-48-1683/

jose_b Posted August 20, 2014 Author #5 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. A small progress: some frames put in place (from 41 to 52), not glued of course, to have an idea ( some frame's foot was moved before taking photos).
