Fregate LEGYPTIENNE 225 - (1/48) Gerard Delacroix Monograph

I am based in Ukraine and have built several sailboats using Amati and Korabel materials. My dream is to build a sailing boat from scratch. In 2019, I acquired the Gerard Delacroix monograph and Adrian Sorolla textbook from Ancre. While I don't possess the skills required to build from the ground up, I am eager to learn and have begun the process.

The theme of my project is named 225 to commemorate the 225th anniversary of its launch. Additionally, I have spent time studying additional literature and participating in forums across various countries. Due to recent events since the start of 2022, I had to relocate to a different region. As a result, I have only recently begun the construction process.

I purchased wild pear wood and had it dried in a chamber. I also pre-processed the wood to create molds.

To construct the boat, I built a slipway.

I have created a housing project using the Rhino program, and I started with the help of God! I plan to manufacture some parts on a CNC machine. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to convert drawings from paper into digital format.

I would appreciate your attention and guidance. I apologize for my English, as I am translating using GPT.

It certainly looks like you have the skills to build from scratch! Those parts are beautiful. I would be interested to see your CNC setup.
 
That is a nice heavy duty router. I am envious. Sick I will follow your build with great interest.
 
it's looks beautiful work, I will keep following with great curiosity
good luck
 
For a first scratch build, your progress, skill and equipment should produce a superb ship!

I look forward to watching and learning as you continue this build.

Thanks for sharing your work!!
 
Welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your need to relocate, but your current shop looks supurb, as does your start on this ship. I am eager to see your progress.
 
Sternpost and perpendicular wings look superb!

I hope the invasion and fighting in your country is ended for many reasons.

Unfortunately , watching your beautiful build is not the most important one. We hope you and your fellow countrymen can get back to a normal life, sooner rather than later!!

Be safe and update us as you make progress...she is looking great.
