L´Amarante 1:36 POF

I hope I understood your question correctly. The inner layer of the partition is made of silica sand, which is commonly used in construction industry. The sand simulates a non-combustible mixture that was used as a "fireproof" material because there was a gunpowder store behind the partition.

Perfect answer, thank you. Didn't know that at all.
 
Thank you guys :).
kuba91nt - Most of the parts (except the planks) are "cut" using a CNC milling machine, which guarantees maximum precision of the cut parts.
serikoff - The decks were not glued up to this point. I glued them in the next stage (see further in this post), of course I painted the entire underdeck with wax before that.
Below deck completed, all lower decks are glued in place.

kuba91nt - Most planks are cut with a FET saw and then planed to the appropriate thickness. The only exception so far is the deck planks, which are "cut" with a CNC milling machine.
To make the decks not look so "poor", I started making hatches.

Beautiful, a joy to watch. Incredible precision and purity. :)Thumbsup
 
This is just such a wonderful build to follow. My compliments!

A question if I might: I am surprised to see mitered corners on the hatch frames. On English ships they are not done this way. Is this universally true on French ships?
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments :).
To Paul: I'm no expert on historical accuracy, but that's the case with both models I build according to French plans.
Finishing hatches - covers, sheeting for the galley stove.
