"She" is 15 months...... (And just adorable too!)
The time has come, the first chips have fallen and the first 3 water drains are finished.
The scuppers are looking very good - keep in mind that the last one has a slightly bigger diameter, because of the pumps
Thanks for the reminder Uwe, I've ordered a slightly larger square tube 3x3mm. I would have liked it to be rectangular, 2x3mm, but I can't find the right sides. So far I've shopped at Conrad Electronics and found a better site, I believe Frank Modellbau has a larger selection but no rectangular tubes either.
I had the same problem at this time - so I think nobody knows exactly the form of the scupper used at the Coureur, also not Boudriot when i made the drawings - square is ok
It can be easily square - Boudriuot is showing the scupper partly covered by the wale
I'm catching up with Your log as well.
Nice work so far. I like the maple deck, gives it a little bit of contrast overall.
And a cozy, well organized shop that you have there. I'm constantly reorganizing and still can't keep it organized well. It always turns out to be a new mess

Dan, thank you very much, yes, the shipyard thing is one of those things, I don't think it will ever be finished.I'm catching up with Your log as well.

Yes, Uwe, you're right, it's very difficult to say exactly whether it's a rectangle or a square, a tendency towards a rectangle.
Thank you Phil for your info.
Hi Phil, I checked out the site, prices for brass seem very expensive in the US plus there would be freight if shipped to Germany at all. Anyway thanks again Phil.
Such a small step is done again. The scuppers on the port side are installed.
I have a question about the guns? Am I right that there were two types of guns on the Le Coureur, namely 2 3-pound guns in front and 6 2-pound guns. I am attaching two pictures of the monograph.

Correct - this was the original armament of the Le Coureur when she was french (tables from Three-decks)
after her capture by the british the armament changed and she received 8 times 4pdr guns
If we take it very seriously, with installation of the box in the hold and 8 identical guns on the deck, we are building the HMS COUREUR

First of all thanks to everyone for your interest and your likes. In the last few days I have finished the scuppers and the railing in the front area. Next comes the rear area.
I can only confirm; very beautiful

Congratulations, well made
Hallo Tobias, it turned out very nice.
I like your bolts with washers which fixed the cathead - how you made them?
It is everytime nice to see the dog sleeping next to you - when they sleep, they are not chewing any wooden parts of the model

Hello Uwe, I use a brass sheet with a thickness of 0.2mm. Then I pre-punch and drill the hole. For punching I use a hole punch for leather found at Amazone. Then I punch all the way through.
Cleat production has started
