Fellow modellers
Some time ago, I thought it would be nice to build Le Coureur. She wasn’t available on the CAF website for quite a while, but one day a kit popped up so I ordered it then and there.
I have reached a bit of an impasse with my model of La Salamandre - see https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/search/284353/?q=Salamandre&t=post&c[title_only]=1&c[users]=Salty&o=date - and I think Le Coureur will give me more experience and confidence to complete her at some stage in the future.
I started building a little while ago, but kept some pictures and notes of my progress which I will post before starting the log in earnest.
My kit arrived safely from Tom at CAF and I started with the keel:
Here is the jig:
There are a few blocks of soft wood from the local hobby shop holding everything square and in place, but I think they will be straightforward to remove when the jig has to be dismantled later.
Kind regards
Salty
