L'Artésien 1764 - 64 Kanonen-Schiff in 1:48 nach Plänen von Jacques Fichant

[Cpt.Barbossa]

Thanks for your input, Frank.
I know what you mean. On the 74-gun ship, these battens are continuous—meaning just one long batten each. I was able to identify this type of batten from the plans and other build logs for the *Artésien*. They were installed individually. I’m not sure why they did it that way, as I suspect it results in a loss of structural integrity. Here is another excerpt from the plans. You don't see any dashed lines for these battens here—lines that would indicate they consist of a single piece. This same method was also used on the L'Anemone. Perhaps continuous battens were only used on larger ships, given that the *Artésien* isn't a 74-gun ship.

Hello everyone!

The double fish-jointed planks have been laid. The battens between the deck beams are still missing; however, the fish-jointed planks need to be prepared accordingly to accommodate them. Here is an excerpt from the plans, followed by the result:

Hello everyone!

Life itself and a garden project have kept me away from the workshop for just under a month.
I’ve now resumed work on the next deck—specifically its beam structure—which I fabricated just as I did for the gun deck and have now test-fitted in place.

Here is a brief photo tour:
