HMS Guadeloupe (ex french Le Nisus), Brick de 24 by Jack.Aubrey - 1:48 scale

The fact I was successful to precisely glue the lifeboat frames, all of them well aligned and spaced apart, has enormously simplified the assembly of the next element that you can see in the two following images.

The installation of this new element has also strengthened the overall skeleton of the lifeboat which, you have to believe me, is really a very delicate object to handle.

One of the preliminary operations to apply copper to the hull of the brick is to build a tool to trace the waterline, tool I built today. It is a quite simple and handcrafted object but it has all the necessary customization possibilities.

Finally, I applied new elements to the lifeboat: in particular, these are pear elements that embellish the seats for the crew as well as reinforce them further.

Another element added to the lifeboat: these are two pearwood pieces that make up the gunwale. Its installation was not very easy but with a good amount of patience it succeeded very well. The boat structure should now be complete so that next step will be the installation of the planks.

I've been trying my hand with planking for a couple of days.
The various courses of the planking are also laser pre-cut and therefore are quite precise in following the lines of the hull. However their installation is not a very simple task.
First of all, it is necessary to hot-bend the strip in the bow area giving it the right curvature, then it is necessary to proceed very calmly and patiently so I am limited to installing a maximum of a couple of courses per session.
However, until now, everything seems to be going well.
There remains the concern for when I will have to install the last course: will it be accurate? will it be abundant? or will it leave an empty slot? We will see . . .
