The hull is waiting to be done. For now, I am making sketches.

“La Jacinthe” Schooner France -1:42 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]
I have finished sketching, I still have half of the broadside to be filled with treenails. 
You are making a great nailing pattern on the hull, and we can see, that you follow here the given by Jean Boudriot.
Following the location of the different frames. Also correct at the ends of planks at the joints.

BTW:
You are showing a very good way with this simple, but well working jig to make accurate lines for the later nailing - many thanks for sharing this with us

Dear KNUT,
I didn't kept count in the process of buiding, but approximately there are 3700 treenails.

Dear Uwe. I corrected this mistake later. You have a photo of the brother of La Jacinthe - Topaz , a great model.
That is a lot of treenails!! How many hours did it take to nail them? One more question, the trenail head will be flush with the deck (заподлицо с доской обшивки) or you will leave the head?
Dear Jim.
Treenails on the deck are flush with the deck , on the hull too, although on the hull in ideal, 0,1 mm could be left.
I have apent two weeks of my vacation to make nailing.

Basically I’ve finished nailing.
I finally got around to overhang. It is painted, taffrail is covered with pear tree and black hornbeam. I made it with a small margin, when the enclosures are set I will finish the taffrail.

I have refined the taffrail a bit. 
I have constructed the bulwarks. 
Top timbers are installed.
Beautiful work, congratulations on a fantastic build.
Thank you very much dear colleagues.
Now it’s time to make cap rail and waterways. I bent it after putting under steam, using a pattern. After fixation i dried it using a hot air gun - it speeds up the process.
Cap rail fore body.
Material - black hornbeam, after installing, I fixed it in place with 0,6 mm brass nails.
