Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

[Uwek]

Related to the height of the scuppers - I also had to cheat here a little bit with the angle.

On the outside the scupper should be on top of the wale - and inside inside the waterway -> so two fixpoints and the angle is defined
when the wale is slightly to high or the waterway too low -> problem with the angle

Thanks for the likes and comments. The formast mast partner with the wedges is ready. Next was the chimney of the galley stove. Here I kept a little more to CAF variant, because I like the slightly steeper smoke outlet better.
Then the pumps should be installed, without forgeting that they are also provided with tension straps below deck. What a shock, I should not have installed the deck yet...... But with a lot of sweat it still worked.
Now I deal with the scuppers, which I think absolutely belong on the ship. According to Boudriot, they should end outboards above the wales, but this does not work properly with the otherwise non-existent slope.

Beautiful work Adi!

Dear friends, many thanks for your likes and comments. Now all the scuppers are installed, without major injuries. Plank rows No. 2 and 1 are in place.
At the moment, I'm back to putting nails in place.

fantastic looks great Adi

You are becoming a Master of nailing, Adi. Looking very good. Over time (who knows when), copper nails will naturally oxidize, and give a nice patina look.

Dear Adi
great progress, it's looks beautiful

 

[Tobias]

Hello Adi your scuppers have become clean, great job and have fun nailing

 

[Gennaro]

Great job on those square scuppers. Difficult to properly install round ones.

 

[pianoforte]

Thank you for your much appreciated likes and comments. Nailing of planks No. 2 and 1 is finished. On starboard side I set the 1,5 mm boxwood strip and plank row 0 with the corresponding gunport cutouts.

BTW In this context, I wanted to visit my shipyard in person to get an overview of the status of the work.

 

[Heinrich]

What a nice touch to put yourself on the ship Adi! I see you did some time-travelling. And of course the big question is: Are you satisfied with the work being done?

 

[pianoforte]

You know Heinrich, there is always something to criticize, but on the whole I am quite satisfied.

 

[Tobias]

Adi, I'm thrilled with your copy on a scale of 1:48, super cool . your work on the Lugger is also great.

Is it a real figurine or some computer-animation?

Real, abolutely real. 3D print make it possible.

Geil..... (Sorry for using this word)

Indeed, really inappropriate. The correct term is "obergeil"

 

[stuglo]

Totally brilliant

 

[Dean62]

Excellent Adi! Your detail work is very lifelike and convincing. I had to zoom in to verify it wasn’t photoshop!

 

[pianoforte]

Dear friends, thank you for all the likes and comments. To date, I have been concerned with the top row of planks and the openings for the guns. on the starbord side. The rail elements are placed on top for testing.

 

[Uwek]

Looking very good my friend - really good
