You are a very brave man, Oliver! Wouldn't use that drill on a tiny La Belle ever. Gorgeous looking as always.

Some small steps. The boxwood is planed to 0,5mm. I used gluepaper to handel it on the thicknesser and the table saw. I removed the gluepaper with the heatgun.

Looking very good - the joints between the parts are very accurate done.
Good idea with gluing the paper on the front face
Hi Uwek, that's caulking (tar-soaked cloth), thing to do on the axial carpentry)
Yes, but it´s not correct for french shipbuilding. The joints are only tared.

I'm sorry I can't understand this sentence "The joints are just calibrated." Thanks
Your preparation work in 3D most impressive. I have no idea how these programs work but I can see their value when it comes to building a highly detailed and complete model, a standard I could not hope to achieve in any scale. Looking forward to following your progress.

Thanks your for your interest in my project. I thought as well that i could not achieve this point where i am today. A lot of fails in my modeling career. Negative vibes serve only to don´t reach the goal. Modelling is learning from failures. Success is the price when you never give up. But only who enter the game has the chance to win it.
The La Belle will continue soon. I need a big CAD-Time for my Le Redoutable, i think the rest of modeling time of the year is for the La Belle.
