Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

[Uwek]

Other countries (except for the belgian Trappist beers) should learn from German breweries and introduce the reinheitsgebot!

Oh JA
We do not have these fancy tastes - but very good beer tastes
Looking at the four bottles shon by Adi - I am getting really dursty
As a Franke / German living since 20 years abroud - I miss also the german beer quality - maybe once Adi has to send me a "Care-Paket"

Wow, I didn't know that the Berg comes from Ehingen. We offer it in our hotel (now, of course it is closed, except for a few business travelers and ambulant patients of the university hospital) and it is very well demanded.

Here is one of my favorites (all time)!!

Our beers - Weihenstephaner

As the oldest brewery in the world we are proud of our various beers. Our wheat beer, dark and light wheat beer, crystal wheat beer, vitus and korbinian or our original helles.

...must be real good and yummy.

I would like to briefly show my current status. I am slowly working my way upwards from the fully planked side and the same time pulling the row of nails a little underneath.

 

[Jimsky]

Greate progress, Adi! I can see your shipyard near the railroad...must be loud when the train passes by.

 

[Maarten]

Greate progress, Adi! I can see your shipyard near the railroad...must be loud when the train passes by.

That is infrastructure to bring beer to the yard.

 

[Jimsky]

Yea...you are correct, the beer comes via railroad, the cognac by sea.

 

[pianoforte]

Dear friends, absolutely correct.

 

[pianoforte]

Thanks for all the the comments and likes.
I'll show you today's status. I have made a little progress, the planks set, drill and nail requires the whole man. Psychologically, I mean,

 

[Uwek]

Your planking and nailing is looking very good my friend - I know, that this work is one of the harder one´s, but some time it will come to an end
Congratulations, that your vertical stern timbers are still alive - at this stage I had already 3 or 4 broken

I am crossing the fingers .....

Uwe my friend, so far, this has not gone completely without breakage, if you look closely. I have learned from your experience, which is why I use the clamping bracket on the keel.

 

[pianoforte]

Today I have pretty much reached the top with the planking. Looking closely at thr Boudriot drawing, I recognized the change from clinker to caravel planking in the wales. So I put the first wale 2C 1-3 on the top plank No. 3.



I worked my way forward from the rear.
To then arrive at the old wisdom, 2 times cut is still too short. Oops there is something missing.





Quickly inserted something before anyone notices.



Am just setting the 2nd wale series 2B 1-3 and hope to finish the nailing soon.

 

[Uwek]

Hallo Adi,
it is looking very good - and you did it in the correct way.
Boudriot is showing in the cross section, that already the last plank is in "carvel - contact" with the lower wale


and also the english contemporary drawing of the original captured vessel is showing this detail


Due to the fact, that this joint is hard to acchieve I overlapped the plank with the wale - at the end only visble at the stern

Very good work my friend

 

[pianoforte]

Today, the nail row on the fully planked side reached the wales. Despite the mental confusion caused by the continuous nailing, this should still be done on the wales also. Then comes the planking of the "open" side.

 

[Uwek]

Congratulations for finishing the first half of the hull - so you made much more than 50% !!!!!!
This knowledge is helping very much to treat your mental confusion
Very good nailing work I have to say !!!

 

[Jimsky]

Congrats on yet another millstone, Adi! I agree with Uwe - accurately made bolts. Let's celebrate this accomplishment with a bottle of good Bavarian beer! It is hot for cognac thought.

This is a wonderful idea. Accepted.
