La Belle 1/36 - Plan by Jean Boudriot / myself
- Thread starter Olivers Historic Shipyard
- Start date
- Watchers 59
Holy Smokes!!!! Not only small Master Furniture Makers but those of providing desk and office accessories as well! Looks like some very sharp knives and fine files . . . no glue visible to my eyes. These stimulate my mind as to what may be feasible . . . or not. . . for me. Not likely under the deck on my Bluenose. More reasonably would be a hold partially full of salted cod and fish heads on the deck waiting to be sluiced off through the gurry sluice midships. Rich (PT-2)
Scale 1:24 - so we know how it was possible to make these details - but they are looking great
Assembly of the deckbeams complete.
I am playing catchup, very nice work indeed Oliver

Your deck planking laid down looks well done. What are the plank widths? Also the diameter of the nailing that you use? I have to decide if I can do it with 1/8 inch planks on my Bluenose or fake it with scribed pencil lines for butted ends and small pencil dots for nailing. I used soft graphite pencil rubbed on both edges of the planks for caulking which has turned our very well. Keep up the nice work. Rich (PT-2)
Absolutely clean work. a real feast for the eyes. Wunderschön anzuschauen.
Those are larger than my 1/8 inch planks so nailing becomes questionable.Thanks for all the comments, guys.
@ Nigel. It´s not a challenge. To compare the Saint Phillipe with the La Belle is as well a good joke.
@PT-2
The Planks has more or less 6mm. I will use a drawplate for the wooden plugs. Maybe 0,8mm....
Thanks, Rich (PT-2)
