La Mutine and La Topaze by Gregor – 1:64 scale - French Schooners - La Jacinthe Type


Recommended Posts

hello Gregor,

 

thank you very much for the photos, especially the Langton cutter.

Sorry for the late answer, but I did not check the modelshipworld forum page until today.

Your model is extremely inspiring for me. I am playing around with the same kit at the moment.

The kit is not very satisfying, I am afraid.

I made some clinker planking on the lower outside of the ship, scraped off the complete deck and made a boxwood deck with single planks and new hatches. The cannonballs were replaced with 0,5 mm steel mini balls.

I also discarded the masts and yards and made them from degama wood.

And now I am trying to find fine metal wire for the rigging.

Maybe you can give me a hint about the rigging material.

This is my first attempt at a scaler smaller than 1:48.

But sometimes I think It would be better to change to a little larger scale than 1:300...

 

Franz
