New design Le Cygne 1806 in scale 1:48 by Modelship Dockyard

[Jimsky]

Thank you for the additional information and fast response, @Modelship Dockyard! The Blandford looks really good and promising. I would love you to continue and posting any updates for the Blandford pilot model. Get ready to answer our questions, We are curious folks here.

• The frames are cherry wood timber, correct?
• Can you show us photos of Blandford at earlier stages like keel and frames?
• If I am correct, the Blandford kit is already going on sale or?

Please start another thread for LeCygne, we would like to see that kit in development and pilot model. This way you can attract more members to your products. If you have any questions, please let us know.

I was confused by the Blandford images, LOL. Thanks, Zoly!

@Modelship Dockyard Is it possible to start a separate build log for Blandford since this one is dedicated to LaCygne?

 

[Bryian]

I would assume this is based on the French plans from Ancre.

Hi Jim, I will soon post another thread for Blandford as it's a seperate product. 5 high quality kits will come within a year!

Great, as I also just purchased the ‘Anatomy of the ship’ book of HMS Blandford! Can it be ordered from your website? What is your website?

Planking, used Pear wood. We also designed clamps to help do the planking. And the planking is full expaneded(idk if that's what it called, it's just a direct translation from Chinese). The photo before last is shot before sanding btw, and the last one only sanded a bit.

Part of the etching sheet, rigging things will be on a seperate sheet.

Very good details on the model - promising quality
One question to the hull planking - which is looking very good by the way:
Are these planks laser-pre-cut? they are looking like pear, or is it cherry?

The planks are Pear, and they scored (laser cut)

These clamps are brilliant

The Stern of Le cygne. Worked all day on Speedwell, felling tired, more progress of Le cygne will come tomorrow, but maybe not today. And you guys will soon see Speedwell, in a new thread(LOL and there will also be a new one for Blandford), trust me, it will be really impressive.

Early version of 3D printing gallery, I hope that's what it called in English. Didn't change much in the later version, just forgot to take pictures.

 

[Modelship Dockyard]

Cannon and carronade(Top half)

 

[Modelship Dockyard]

Moulds and carvings(part of). More fittings will come tomorrow.

Great carving work! Whenever I see those machine carvings, it amazes me what those machines can do, and it actually reminds me of my age (not that I forget about it).

As we can see, there are some plywood templates for propper positioning (red arrows). Is this by design and the kit will provide those templates?

Ofc Jim, all the clamps, templates etc., you see and will in the posts, will be provided in the kit.

That would be nice, to see all those small gotchas and all the details.

I am looking forward to see this kit in detail...... Looking very good

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Looks like a highly detailed kit build. I like having all the insert for the bow almost pre-shaped to fill the gaps for good planking.
