POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph- Gérard Delacroix) By Shota
A nice combination of various connections, Shota. A lot of work but with a very nice outcome.
Regards, Peter
Very nice work Shota, curious to see what the results of the French square bolts is.
Good morning Shota. Excellent, excellent. Cheers Grant

Good evening my dear friends 
For the last two weeks I have been working on repairing the Beam arms. If you remember I made an initial version from local pear wood, but I didn't like the shade as much and I made a mistake in the direction of the wood fibers. So I made new ones from Swiss pear wood.
after that I have made more parts on the upper deck of the bow.
I started by making the Mast bits.
I had to make a second version because the first one didn't turn out to my satisfaction as you can see in the comparative picture.
The reason for this is that I was unable to fix the parts to the milling surface stably. The solution I found for you is to create precise recesses in a way that is adapted to the part, including gluing to the bottom with double-sided adhesive.
I have not yet installed the metal parts such as the screws and brass wheels, this will happen soon when the shipment arrives.
I wish everyone a pleasant and enjoyable weekend
