“La Jacinthe” Schooner France -1:42 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Kortes]

The hull has dried.
I started installing deck elements.

 

[Norway]

Fine carvings Kortes, well delivered.

 

[Uwek]

Our friends already commented your work on the the ornamentation - nothing to add - only to repeat.
And when I take a look at your last photo of the birds-view on your deck - I love really very much the total appearance of your model - beautiful

 

[Kortes]

I finished the hatchway lids. As the size of the elements is small I had to make a pattern out of nail.

 

[SteveA]

Beautiful Work, love it

 

[ramonolivenza]

Muy muy bueno. Me encanta tu trabajo... Que tratamiento final das a la madera? Aceite de Tung? Danish?

 

[Kortes]

Basically I finished the spars. Material - pear tree and black hornbeam.

 

[Kortes]

Tops of the masts, bowsprit and the end of the boom were painted with printer ink.

Truly superb workmanship.

 

[Kortes]

Here are some more elements, before final fitting and assembling.
Topmast cross-trees and hoop heads, material - black hornbeam.

 

[Kortes]

Thank you very much dear colleagues.

 

[Uwek]

These parts are looking very good and will fit very well to your model

 

[Kortes]

I made dead eyes.
I cut them from the pear tree. For the drilling I had to make one simple device.

 

[Uwek]

simple and very clever - many thanks for showing us your way

 

[Kortes]

In order to make metal pieces of lashing cleat- dead eyes I have made a small rim out of a small -diameter bolt.

 

[Kortes]

And then I proceed using the technology of the master-classes. I decided to solder at the big diameter, because when the dead-eye is swaged, the deformation in this area is minimal and the probability of damaging the solder is less.

 

[Kortes]

Before the soldering, the adjacents parts were grinded off.
Afterwards - blackening and assembling.

 

[Kortes]

simple and very clever - many thanks for showing us your way

I'm very glad you found my working experience interesting.
My best regards

Kortes, has made a bookmark on this technique so that I can use it later when I do this kind of work, thanks for the good information.
