You are coming along quite nicely, looks very nice.
Le Coureur 1:48 - Caf - by Hammer80 [COMPLETED BUILD]
Your start of the planking with nailing is looking very good.
A small hint which will reduce some of your work.
On such clinker planked hulls there are only two nails at a plank-joint - one on each end of the plank
The second row of nails (here marked with the red arrows) is not necessary, due to the fact, that the plank was secured by the next row

I am very happy to see, that your break on the Coureur work ended !
Did you also finalize in the meantime the hull planking on the other side? very good progress - I know, that this work is really taking a lot of time.
The boat in the front is not from CAF, I think. Who is the manufacturer? Looking very good

I am looking forward to see the guns on the deck - good work
Good idea -
WOW very good progress, it looks very good.
Actually, that looks really good. That has developed very nicely.
with installed mast and bowsprit we can imagine the total size of a fully rigged lugger like the Coureur.
It will be impressive - good work

Hello Jean-Bernard,
maybe Uwe's view will help you. Unfortunately I do not have more.
