Illustration of the "squarred ship-yard" that I can use during all my model build :



En français, ce référentiel géométrique classique s'appelle un espace orthonormé O, x, y, z

Hello boys,

Here, a view of the hidden side of the planking, bilge side, which is quite
well adjusted (don’t ask me how I did it, I’m just satisfied with the result) :



And now, a simulation as a joke : it shows how replace an heavy wale by a... graceful flying fisch :







It's possible to make such a presentation with turned beech handles from a kit furniture store...

Can I just say, that scratch build is looking amazing so far! Can't wait for the final result!

Planking of hull done, next step, beginning built of the ship sides :

Congratulations for reaching this first step of a closed hull.

when we look close, we can see the four small gaps in the first plank close to the keel caused by the metal recess you used in your "squarred ship-yard".
How you close these gaps? Or will you use the same locations for a stand?

Hi Uwe,

I think to a presentation stand with wooden turned columns, the model being removable :



For doing that, I shall use two "U" iron pieces introduced into the small gaps you've seen

Other presentation would be too "heavy", inelegant (it's my feeling about this question)

Best regards,

Christian

First cut of gammoning knees, (the monograp was to be adapted...) :

Gammonings after symmetric copy of the two knees (not glued...) :

Down gammoning knees done and glued, with this preview of fore gripe ensemble :





Upper knees are soon cut, and I prepare adding the couple of bolsters between knees

End of today work about the ship : the bolsters (into the mono, they are without holes) :

Beginning planking of the first battery, with horizontal alignment of gunports :

Following preparation of cut for the down line of gun-ports :

The gun ports seem have a good look, an I've provisory a good luck :

You are making very good progress - I am very happy, that you show us on regular basis your work.
So it like visiting regularly a good friend in his workshop

Thanks Uwe,

Without sharing, an artist cannot exist

Testing a fast modelisation of wooden guns (the size is same with the plan of mono 1/72) :

 

[Uwek]

Comparing with the size of the gunport, the gun muzzle is looking maybe too big - but this is only a first feeling looking at your photos
