Looks absolutely great, fantastic work.

A wonderful result on this mini-project Uwe!
Those copper bolts looks great, Uwe.

Bonjour,
Petite question technique. Comment avez vous positionné les 2 pieces encadrées en rouge sur le modèle (voir img-9268), alors qu'il n'y a aucune indication ou marque (voir img_0081) ? merci.
Hello, Small technical question. How did you position the 2 pieces framed in red on the model (see img-9268), when there is no indication or mark (see img_0081)? thanks
Hallo @Cathber
many thanks for your interest and your question, which I try to answer - it is already some time ago, but I try to retrace
The information can be found in the drawings and have to be transfered to the real deadwood of the model
The first drawing is this one, showing the keel structure and elements and also the frames sitting on the keel
In the top we can see the front edge of the deadwood (red arrow)
and in addition in the drawing under the part with the steps you are asking. Here we can see that the lweor curved part is following the fairing line (green arrows)
On the deawood we can see the fairing line, which is prepared by CAF in the part (green) and the front end of the deadwood (red)
Now we take a look at the second drawing
Here we have in addition to the green and red information also the front edge of the "step-part" (I do not know the correct english term for it) marked with blue arrow
with this information you are able to find the correct location
Merci @Uwek pour les renseignements, Je comprends mieux.
Pouvez vous également m'indiquer le processus pour la partie avant ?
Je n'ai pas encore acheté le modèle. J'attends la retraite (en milieu d'année) pour me lancer, mais j'étudie avec attention votre journal de construction qui est trés riche.
J'en profite également pour m'équiper de matériels divers.
Au moment voulu je ferai également un journal de construction pour partager ma construction.
Thanks @Uwek for the information, I understand better.
Can you also tell me the process for the front part?
I haven't bought the model yet. I am waiting for retirement (in the middle of the year) to start, but I am carefully studying your construction journal which is very rich.
I also take the opportunity to equip myself with various materials.
When the time is right I will also make a construction diary to share my construction.
What is amazing to me, Uwe, is that this very same detail appears on my Kingfisher but I thought it might be unique to that class of ship. But here it is on your ship as well (in my ignorance it probably exists universally). My point is I have been following your work attentively but never noticed this detail. Amazing what we 'see' and 'don't see'...

The priciples are the same. The only difference is, that the curved lower edge of the part is following the rabbet
Merci @Uwek pour ces précieux renseignements. Encore mes félicitations pour votre construction et pour la partager à travers votre journal de construction.
Encore une question: En cas de casse ou perte d'une pièce, est-il possible de se la procurer facilement chez CAF ?
Thank you @Uwek for this valuable information. Congratulations again on your build and for sharing it through your build diary. BRAVO
One more question: In case of breakage or loss of a part, is it possible to obtain it easily from CAF?

I following this with interest, because I'm making the plans for the Dutch 2 decker and there are now drawings of this kind. I need to search for the info in history books, and other builds to design these frames and keel. These builds help me to find my way in it.
Many thanks to all your interest in my log and also the comments and likes received
Started with the treenailing of the deck - in order to check how it will look like on the deck planking
Here you can see the adjusted plank row 7 which is fitting now between row 6 and the mortar box
The treenails are only cut, but not sanded down
after the first sanding
Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued .....

Beautiful work!
The treenails looks great, Uwe. And the caulking became better after this first sanding. Caulking with the Ecoline is always a bit tricky because it absorbs into the woodgrain, but with the Ecoline pencil it seems to be going well. Then it is better to dose. I also use that pencil more and more, also for touching on details.
