A small update
I've made a cover layer of veneer for side galleries. I didn't follow plans so stricly because it'll be covered by windows and columns ,so it's only purpose is to cover plastic
There's also a new temporary stand/ building slip that I did with my dad. Construction is as simple as it can be but serves it's purpose very good
Stain leaves better structure of wood, but I didn't like that color. With acrylic paint details are only a little flooded, but all imperfections from glue or gaps are much better covered
Before painting with vallejo acrylic paint.

First things first.
I finally decided to finish him just a french 118-gs. 3d resigns of ornaments and decorations cost and I don't want to waste on ship that will have many mistakes.
To the more pleasant things. This's for me a big step. I was afraid I would struggle with it and nothing would come out, so instead of traditional planking I decided to make only one side to check what I can run into. Fortunately I menaged to do sth that I will not burn with shame. It's not the best or prettiest but it IS and I'm happy.

Ah, fun games indeed! Yeah Naval Action died in the water after the community-ignoring devs made stupid updates, so many veterans aren't playing.
I would LOVE for Ocean model to be released! I certainly do not possess neither your skills or patience to make my own, so very much enjoying this one coming along.
Design-wise (and not to bash any ships), the Ocean proved that simply adding the max possible guns does not equate to success. If it wasn't for certain factors, Napoléon would have produced the Ocean en-masse. Well, possibly.

There was a problem with 3D printing there.
The curve is not very regular.

There was a three decker but it was a Bretagne from Altaya- no longer continued. I think it was the Spanish tried to put max guns on deck - Santisima Trinidad had 140 so 118 seems reasoneble. I read somhwhere the English were really surprised how well those french floating fortreses handled. The 74-gs were mass produced(in comparision to 118's) the still had the fire power but much more turning capabilities

No, no problem with printing. It's all on me or rather my lack of skills

Little update on port(left-reminder for me) side of ship.
I've made a big mistake with fitment of planks, but I think it won't be so visible. I read somewhere that dust from the same wood as plank mixed with wood glue can work as a putty.So here's my attempt. Luckily as a noobie I can afford making such mistakes

To start planking first I have to add some parts to stern, finish keel etc. I still have some problems with understanding how to put measurements from plans to hull. In the worst scenario I just do them better in the next ship.
I've run out of paint, so there's no "black swan"(for now
)
First huge mistake. This planks should be little longer. Unfortunately this doesn't qualify to re-do I have to come up with some solution.

Do you have some pictures from inside of magazine?Nice stern! LOS! 63 special on french navythrough the revolution and consulat has 3d views of "le commerce de marseille", they use it to show the anatomy of a french 1st rate ship. The cover uses "L'ocean".
Or is it the same work of Bernard Huc?

Je recrée ce sujet ici pour pouvoir placer quelques images de la progression du projet d'après la monographie de Gérard Delacroix : Le poste de combat d'un cano

It's not the same, their is more like this model with inspiration taken from other models of the class
The unerside of their interpretation seem to be from this model of l'ocean:

Little update on planking.
There was a one day with really beautiful sun shine. So you can see her in true colors
As I have only 1-2h a day+weekend could I consider this a reasonable progress?
Instead of nice smooth curve I managed to to do a bump. Somehow on both sides. Is there a way to fix this or it goes to mistakes list?

Maybe use putty to fill in and then scribe it to create an illusion of wood?
