CAF 1/48 Scale La Renommee 1744

Super, merci pour les infos. J'ai une Dremel pour le ponçage et je vais regarder pour me procurer les grattoirs.
Avez-vous une adresse à me proposer pour avoir des grattoirs de bonne qualité ?

Great, thanks for the info. I have a Dremel for sanding and will look into getting the scrapers.
Do you have an address to suggest to me to have good quality scrapers?

Hi Paul, nice progress and the ships onterior parts kit look great, especially the etched knee enforcements.
Like your temporary support bar around the stern frames,
But keep in mind the stern is slightly bollow. I would already create this shape in your support bar.

Bollowed? Bowed at the center?

There is a curvature in the stern which is at the top different compared to the lower part. You can see that in the side view drawing in the space between the side frame and the center frame.

The space between the top side and center frame is smaller than at the bottom which means even the curvatures are different. This creates a stern with a slightly bollow shape.

Ahh,,,,got it! Thanks! Yes, actually looking at the kit, I can see it from the side
 
What have I got myself into??? I have much more detail sanding and some corrections on the hull prior to beginning the internal structure.

Hi Paul. Yes, this build is certainly not one for the faint-hearted, but you are doing yourself proud. Now, forward ...!
 
Dear Paul. I have a lot of understanding of all the sanding/scraping and finishing work you are busy with. This takes me back to when I had to sand my fully boxed WB hull into shape. fact is, that the work you are doing now will determine to a very large extent the overall impact of the model, so, take your time. I'm rooting for you, and I know that all the hours of work you are putting in now, will be well spent on your way to a beautiful La Renommee.

Thankyou
 
Looking good my friend.

Maybe you should fix the longitudinal upper plank first as a next step, so you have a demarcation line for the diagonal inner planking?

Otherwise you will have later on some gaps (green arrows) between this plank (red line) and the diagonals

Just an idea
