POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph- Gérard Delacroix) By Shota

Amazing workmanship Shota! Magic Mike
Your ship looks very nice Shota!
Beautiful work !
The eloquent curves you used to expose the deck beams are wonderful!!

I love the temporary plank you used to perfectly align the "floating" metal knees!

Thanks for sharing such great photos of your excellent work.

PS: Glad you are feeling better after your vacation.

Piękna praca drogi Shoto bardzo podoba mi się kolor drzewa. Pozdrawiam Mirek
my dear friends, thank you very much for your kind words and compliments, I'm happy to know now your opinion
 
Good evening dear friends,
I haven't posted an update for a few weeks, so I'm happy to share with you the latest progress.
During these weeks I was on summer vacation and a bit sick / with the flu and a sore back, but I'm happy to report that everything is fine and I've even finished preparing the parts of the lower deck in the center of the ship on its various parts and installing them satisfactorily.
The process is very similar to the previous decks, so I won't bore you with the details, so enjoy the pictures.
tthanks to all friend how sending kind feedback all the way

I wish us all a pleasant and not too hot summer vacation.

I agree with Mirek. The tone of wood is remarkable. Time files, I just remember your first post about this project. You've done a massive work
Amazing work, Shota! I just started to go through this thread. I am at the page 20 only.
Hello Shota,

Your work continues to be amazing. I always look forward to seeing your progress.

Amazing my good friend,a music to my eyes
You must bring it next week :)
Fantastic work with wood. A beautiful result worthy of a master.
She has beautiful lines and great style Shota!
Wonderful craftsmanship. This is becoming a museum piece.
My dear friends,
I am truly excited to read your comments and compliments; they undoubtedly breathe fresh wind into the sails of my creative journey.
To the friend/Y.T. who has just embarked on this journey, I wish you the best of luck
And to my dear friend Sevish—I will do my best to bring the model to the upcoming meetup.
 
Good evening, dear friends
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacations while also keeping up with our hobby.
Over the past two weeks, I prepared the deck beams for the upper stern deck.
To ensure the beams were sized correctly, I created a deck template out of thick cardstock, matching the proper curvature; this allowed me to accurately determine the required length during the heat-bending process.

I did this because the Monograph drawings do not specify the curvature or its impact on the beam length.
I would like to point out that the height on the left side does indeed appear mismatched compared to the right; this is because the beams are not glued, and the three front ones are slightly loose, rising upward by about a millimeter.
Otherwise, the process is quite similar to that of the previous decks, so I won't go into too much detail.
Enjoy the photos, and have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Using a template is often the right choice to get a proper alignment. Nicely done, Shota.
