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

Now I understand what you're getting at. :) No, the keelson was crafted according to the plans and glued in place after some minor adjustments. The nailing is purely for aesthetics.
Hi Barbossa, I'm a bit confused about the nailing. According to a description from that period, the fastening method is quite different. If you'd like, I can send you the description in a private message. Frank
