Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

[pianoforte]

Thanks, Piano! You're doing a fine job. I did hardly see any better achivement on sailmaking so far. Does that glue turn into any yellowish shade?

No, it becomes colourless, rather transparent.

No, it becomes colourless, rather transparent.

Thanks, that's good to know!

Thanks for all the likes und comments, very appreciated. The main sail moves forward. At the moment I'm struggling with the almost endless row of reefing tapes.

Thanks for all likes and comments. Finally done, all reefing tapes are set.

Thanks for all likes. Done, the main sail is hoisted and moored. Once again, everything takes time.

A very nice main sail with all those reef lines, Adi. The model is getting more and more impressive.

Lovely work, Adi! You have managed to maintain the persona of a working boat even as you have gone aloft. Impressive!

Dear Adi, wonderful work on the sails

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Great work on sails, the reefing lines can be like tying knots in shroud ratlines!

 

[Dean62]

Excellent log and work Adi. If this is my next project I’ll be sure to read all your tips again to make it easier.,

After taking a closer look at all the individual parts and their interaction, I came to the conclusion that this should be possilble.
Set the keel into the base plate, part A9 behind it.....nasty surprise, the tolerance devil has struck.
Doesn't look good, so fill it up.

As a beginner this is something I often encounter.
And I think "should I sand or should I fill?"

What is the best practice here? Are there some general guidelines?

I know this is posted years ago, but it is a great example of a building technique I have been wondering about.

Wow Adi - I had a considerable bit of catching up to do, but what a pleasure. The sails look simply wonderful and just keep adding to your already wonderful Le Coureur.

I wish you all a merry and blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
Thank you dear friends from the bottom of my heart for your support.
