Here is the tutorial how to send Private MessagesUwek,
I'll be very glad to make a contribution to the forum. I'm not sure how to send you a private message containing my email address (ou en français, mon adresse email).

Dear my friend FrancisÀ la demande de Uwe, j’ouvre ce sujet concernant la construction d’un vaisseau de 118 canons d’après la monographie de Gérard Delacroix « Le commerce de Marseille ». Construction dont la décision fut prise fin 2008 et a débutée par l’adaptation des plans de Gérard.
Le travail a véritablement commencé en février 2009 – onze ans déjà. Au cours de ces années, le modèle a évolué et, de 118 canons à l’origine, s’est transformé en un vaisseau de 120 bouches à feu équipé de caronades sur le pont des gaillards.
Uwe est en possession de l’ensemble des images postée sur le forum « Marine et Modélisme d’Arsenal » que je lui ai transmises. Il s’est chargé d’en traduire les textes pour ensuite distribuer tout cela sur le forum SoS.
J’espère que cela vous plaira.
Francis Jonet.

At the request of Uwe, I open this subject concerning the construction of a 118-gun vessel from the Gérard Delacroix monograph "Le commerce de Marseille". Construction whose decision was taken at the end of 2008 and started with the adaptation of Gérard's plans.
The work really started in February 2009 - eleven years already. During these years, the model evolved and, from 118 guns originally, turned into a 120-gun vessel equipped with carronades on the forecastle deck.
Uwe is in possession of all of the images posted on the "Marine and Arsenal Modeling" forum that I sent him. He was responsible for translating the texts and then distributing all of this on the SoS forum.
I hope you will like it.
Francis Jonet.

When I told you I was a little bit stamped ...
in spite of everything, I am not dissatisfied.

Here are the benches, two is already not bad and it's the opposite of a sinecure. I went into the classic for the realization, drawing Gerard is too complicated for my big fingers (six feet per bench and spacers between each pair on the length as the table). But I do not think I have distorted the thing. I have ten left to make my account.

All the tables and all the benches are finished, I made a table and two more benches to be able to show them outside I do the same for the carts of the canons.
The twelve benches were a horror to achieve, it broke all the time until I understood how to do ...
... Unfortunately too late, all were finished.
