French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
This morning, two new pics with sunrise light :
Without fore quarter-deck (as required about french vessels less than hundred guns), I had to rectify the beakhead frame's gun ports :
A great moment of ship's built : the beginning of the basswood figure-head, I can rejoice... 
Beginning of carving, difficult with two figureheads into one, a beast behind, and the Saint-Philippe over :
Following carving work about the figurehead :
Pussy cut or cut of the two cat heads (handy made, of course...) :
First cat head test, without problem (not glued) :
Some enforcing accessories about the cat heads :
A creative transom for cat head (I unlike the proposition of the monograph about this object) :
Today work about transom of right cat head (not glued) :
St Philip killing the monster (I don't know if it is my carving which seems so monstrous ...) :
Saint Philip received his cross, his secret weapon against the heaven monster :
Figure head done (not glued) :
Now, all is done and glued about the head part of the Saint Philippe :
On the Saint Philip, there are many gratings to do
I have the choice between false gratings at right scale 1/72 or real wooden gratings at false scale 1 mm squarred each hole :
What do you prefer ?
Thanks
