Hello friends,
this will become a building thread in some years recently it is a collection of ideas to cardmodelbuilding in "tight method".
The L'AMARANTE monography offers a fully
three part decor to her sister L'ANÉMONE in ink by Cassieri - beautyfull drawings that will have to be stretched to fit the drawn transom.
The bouteille is of a nice floral design with it's late Baroque / early Rococo layout:
The figurehead will give me some headache:
Here the original drawings in 1/36 by Gêrade Delacroix showing the differences to the Cassieri art work side by side (later on I will place the frostpaper drawing onto of the Art Copy on my under light tablet).
But this is what I do crash into at the very end; my Idea came while leafing through the plans' set - why should I not start using the huge
number of frames' drawing in card model building, too? Ab Hoving did it for an Admiraity model - so it does work,the proof of concept is made. So I could take the plans and scale them down by 75% to 1/48
as shown in the sail plan giving a good idea of the real size.
Certainly there are a plenty of formes - 53 at all,
so I may not to have double the bookbinder's cardboard of 1mm thickness but creating a centerboard looking like a crazy harp...
So there is a possibility to use the plates 5, 6, and 7 for the beauty lines of the hull.
so this will give a plenty more of glueing surface than the usual bulkhead method - even when only every 2nd or 3rd frame will be used.
So due to this I do call it the "tight method" for a hull model with closed gun port lids.
As all my three building slots for models are filled by MEERMIN, LAMANTIJN, and SESTRORETSK, this projekt will stay aside and nothing is cut out untill one card yard place is emptied by finishing.
Best wishes from Berlin Card Yard,
Chris
