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

Hallo zusammen!

Vielen Dank für das Lob!

Während ich an den Hauptspanten arbeitete, fertigte ich gleichzeitig die neun katzenkopfförmigen Knie an. Prinzipiell werden diese genauso konstruiert und angepasst wie die Spanten des Schiffes. Das genaue Nagelmuster war aus den Plänen nicht ganz ersichtlich; die seitliche Nagelung fehlte vollständig. Daher orientierte ich mich weitgehend an Boudiots Buch über das 74-Kanonen-Schiff.

Hi Andreas
That’s an excellent idea for the tool made to create square pegs! The photo with the captain standing atop the ship's frame commands respect.Gold StarGold StarGold StarGold StarGold StarOkayBeer

Genau richtig. Ich bohre das Loch und fülle es mit dem abgebildeten Wachs. Es braucht etwa eine Minute zum Trocknen. Dann kratze ich das überschüssige Material vorsichtig ab und bearbeite die Stelle noch einmal mit Stahlwolle. Zum Schluss wird das Holz mit einem Polieraufsatz für einen Dremel poliert.

Hallo Andeas,

Kannst Du den Hersteller, bzw den Bezugslink zu deinem „Kitt“ bitte nennen?
 
Many thanks for your kind words and interest! I’m really pleased :)

Here is the link to the wood repair putty: (https://amzn.eu/d/0hKyZEKj).

For finer filling work like this, I also recommend using the small applicator tips designed for adhesives, so you can apply precise, tiny amounts.
 
 
Hello Frank!

The two-part keelson was taken from the plans. I based the nailing pattern for the riders roughly on Boudiot's 74-gun ship, as this wasn't shown in the plans. I hope I understood your question correctly.

Hi Barbossa, Yes, thanks for replying. The two-piece paramezzale is new to me—I'm not convinced. Frank
 
I also found out why the Artésien has a two-part counter-keel. Maybe there’s something about it in the monograph.

Thanks for the message, Frank. But why was the counter-keel made in two parts? The monograph mentions that it is two-piece. But why? :)

Could you send me a few pictures from the monograph, just out of curiosity? Frank
 
It looks like Frank is right in his assumption that the counter-keel does not consist of two parts lengthwise. Two other build logs also show it this way. I recall following Gérard Genevesse’s approach here. I don’t know why he depicted the counter-keel in two parts. Many thanks for the clarification, Frank.

Regards
Andreas

Thank you again for your analysis; my comments are intended, in a sense, to help those who aren't familiar with axial carpentry. Frank
