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

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.

Hello dear friends,
Over the past two weeks, I have focused on preparing the stern windows—specifically the uppermost section and the side windows.
To create the glass window effect, I used Micro Kristal Klear.Screenshot_20260821_161752_WhatsApp.jpg20260821_160332.jpg20260821_160325.jpg20260821_160214.jpg20260821_155839.jpg20260821_155826.jpg
I also prepared the transom knees (sometimes referred to as quarter knees). 20260821_155345.jpg20260821_155239.jpg
Afterward, I planked the interior of the stern around the window area in preparation for installing the interior furnishings.
Wishing us all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend.

Nice old fashion windows, Shota.
Regards, Peter
 
My dear friends
A quick weekend update:
I built the captain's table, which will be placed in the stern.
The table was crafted primarily using a laser cutter and an MF70 mill, combining pearwood and boxwood.
I was so excited by the result that I wanted to share it before even making the benches—though their parts have already been laser-cut. Wishing everyone a pleasant rest of the weekend.

Wonderfully detailed Captains Table! I have to review you last few months of posts, as you were dropped from my watch list.

I will refresh my following, every time I view your log, in the hope I don't get dropped again and miss your wonderful posts and work!
 
What a beautiful table to compliment a very good looking model. I like the different sized cherry planks used for the table it makes the whole look natural!
