French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Beginning work about the guard-rail (nothing is glued during the wooden shape of frame) :
Last test for the guard-rail (not glued), and provisory enclosure of the quarter-deck grating :
Quarter-deck gratings done :
The four topsail sheet bitts were glued, then I wait for a brass shup's bell to finalize the guard-rail with its belfry :
Not received the bell of ship, also, I began the double stairs of the quarter-deck :
The miniature bell of ship, with it's belfry, was not the easiest part of this built, I hope it's successfully realized :
And, ending today works, the first downstairs between the quarter-deck and the upper gun battery (not glued) :
The stairs were prepared for gluing, the principal difficulty being to keep the symmetry between the two sides :
:
:
First gun of quarter-deck and a central decoration of guard-rail (these elements are the less successful of the mono) :
Last guns with their carriages on quarter deck, after adding the wooden wheels, this part will be finished :
Ending all guns, ninety guns installed, what a punishing job it was, my friends ! I'm really happy it's coming out !
I return on the guard-rail with a central decoration, which seems to me acceptable (not glued, artificial light:end) :
After other rails, a new test before making thiner, it would be regular and more textured than my first version :
Quarter-deck done :
Today last preparation work - I hope that this quarter-deck will be finished tomorrow !
