Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

[Tobias]

Very nice hook, Adi. They fit very well. @ Uwek I can't see anything negative about your hook.

This is my opinion also.

Thanks for all the likes and comments.
Since I have decided to use the Boudriot solution for the gun rigging, the combined hook and ring design is now to be produced after the bolts and washers.
What can be done well in a larger scale, e.g. 1:30, brings problems in 1:48. The smaller the more difficult.

I should make a few attempts.

First with CAF delivered brass hook and brass tubes.

This combination did not prove to be stable enough.

After thinking about it for a while, I came up with the idea of alienating Syren Ship Model's black rigging hooks a bit.

That seems to be working.

Thank you for your much appreciated likes and comments.

The small 3 pounder guns are my next task. I have prepared and assembled the carriages of 4 cannons. The manufacture of the split pins the wheel hubs are a real challenge.

 

[Uwek]

Isn´t it a good time puting the first time the guns on the deck?
Very good work on these small and fragile carriages

Dreamlike guns Adi.

 

[Heinrich]

The guns really look great Adi - wonderful work! I agree with Uwe - give her some teeth!

Thanks for all the likes and comments. Today all gun carriages are ready. The first gun as a complete pattern build to see how it comes out.

Very good work, Adi. i have said it before, and I will say it again. You manage to create a patina in your build which is so authentic looking. I really have the sense that I am looking at a real ship in miniature. It has a natural and well-worn or used look to it that I really find fascinating. Well done!

 

[Tobias]

First class, Adi.

 

[Uwek]

Looking very good my friend

 

[RDN1954]

I'm no expert, but your canons are looking very authentic!

 

[dockattner]

Really nice work here Adi. I agree with our colleagues that these are turning out just right!
