It looks very nice indeed Thumbsup Personally I do not fancy the separation into an upper and a lower parts though. Anyway, I think I have enough to build for a long time with Le Coureur and Alert. However, should you ever decide to make a 24:1 POF kit of the Royal Caroline to suit the nice figurehead you are making, I'll be there :)

Royal Caroline, we are gradually completing her woodcarving. There are too many woodcarvings. We have paid a lot for her, but I think it is worth it. Her greatest charm is woodcarving

We are also the first time to try to separate the structure up and down. If we simply use the saw to cut it, it is still very simple to separate it up and down, but it seems too rough. If we can separate the upper and lower structure from the natural structure, it will be better。
 
Keep up the great planning work on this kit!

It will be fun to see plans slowly come together to complete the kit down the road!

I still have to wait on my Alert kit to be ordered when my name hits the listing!

Maybe you take a look also at these photos.
In the Hamburg museum is such a model of the La Salamandre and I made several photos of her

LA SALAMANDRE - bomb ketch in 1:48 - in Maritime Museum Hamburg

A very interesting version of the bomb ketch La Salamandre in scale 1:48 is on permanent display in the Maritime Museum in Hamburg. The model is cut horizontal, parallel to waterline, into the hold and the upper structure. In this way the interiour of the hold is completely visible. Model based...

@Uwek do you know (or have a picture) how the underside of the upper part looks? is it "closed" with a "deck" or open?

We will first make a section model to verify the accuracy of the design method
In terms of materials, we will use more delicate wood. It will be more delicate than pear wood, and its texture will be harder than pear wood, so that it can show sharp angles very well
This will better reflect the charm of the original plan

With the different wood and sharper edges of the parts, the real framing can be executed much better I guess.

It is great to see, that you will make also the changes in width of the frames from floor timbers over the futtocks up to the top timbers. (red arrows)
Great also to see, that you show the lateral displacement of the frames because of the oar or gunports (blue arrows)

So you can follow the framing plans of the Anatomy book

-> Will be a great POF-project Thumbsup Thumbsup

That's the charm of this model, which doesn't simplify the ribs, it follows the plan

My friend - you are reducing the modelers work too much - so no beveling any more...... :D
Great preparation with 3D cnc cutting the parts - I like your attempt very much, so you can count on me as highly interested in this kit :cool:
