Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

Many thanks for your likes and comments. Now it's back on the inside again. It is now the turn of the mast well. I will omit the ballast box and choose the 2nd variant, fill everything with barrrels, boxes and various other junk.
Uwe's preliminary work was also a great help to me here.

Then I noticed that there is a difference between the drawing of CAF and Boudriot regarding the top cover on the mast, I chose Boudriot.

Whether the nail imitation can still be seen after installation?

As below I image that later.

Hallo Adi,
your work is looking very good Thumbsup
The nails of the mast-foot box will be hardly visible later on - I know it from mine, especially if you will make some stone ballast in the hold
But definitely they are looking good, and you know (and we also) that they are there.
The "top cover" you mentioned are the mast partners, very strong timbers against the mast was fixed with the help of wooden wedges - you could make then also see my post #806
Your imitation of the single boards with bolting of the partners is done very good - do not fix it now, only together with the deck planking

During the time living in Bayerisch-Schwaben, I was also several times in Lego-Land with my daughter.
Enjoy the rare times with your grandchilds - they are growing so fast :cool:

Oh yes, you can see it in our children yesterday, children and today 21, 22 and 26 years old.
Thank goodness everyone lives nearby and there is always one of our children there and thus also our grandchildren.
 
My dear friends, thank you all very much for your likes and comments.
Starting today, it's down to the nitty gritty, i.e. the small decks. First I put in the templates for deck 5 and 6 to see how the whole thing looks from above, as well as from the side through the bulkheads. Then it was on the construction of deck 5. A model in a model, great thing. As Uwe is a unique spiritus rector, it is an honor for me to follow him in many ways. Thus, one cannot hide a similarity between his and my work, but I think that is the purose of our forum.

Then I prepared the individual parts from the 2.5x2.5 timbers supplied in the kit with the help of the template.

After everything fits, the sticks are very lightly stapled to the template with glue.

Then 1x5 planking is applied with some overhang. After drying, thr edges are sanded. Finally, the template is removed and the sides are sanded at an angle so that the deck fits into the hull.
