Lovely under oil. Bravo!
Looking very good - I like the overall appearance very much
Good evening, dear friends of model making,
I have started building the small guns. I am deviating from the CAF plan and following the Ancre plans.
The difference is as follows:
CAF -> Round brass tube
ANCRE -> Square wood
The reason for this is that I simply like it better.
With these rifles, the trigger and the fuze and a small holder are also included. They are so tiny (more than tiny
) that you can hardly see them. @Uwek put them on his Le Coureur as far as I know, respect Uwe, I can hardly see them. As of today, a magnifying glass with a light or something similar is on my wish list.
However, I have paid attention to the mobility, at least somewhat
.
Oh and one very important thing before I forget Thank you for the thumbs up and your comments.

Very nice Tobias, I also like your variant quite well. If you want to have a look at my Coureur, I have solved it a little differently.
With the difference between CAF and ancre you mean the pilar on which the riffle is fixed, or?
In order to show the members these small brass elements, please have a short look on my solution
in a distance of 5 or maximum 10cm you can recognize these parts, in a normal distance not at all
at the end I will also install these wooden pilars - very good work my friend
Hello Uwe yes I mean the wooden stands on which the cans are mounted. Great that you show your pictures and describe it to see what I meant.
I like the square pillars more. Good job, Tobi!
Definitely there were wooden pilars as basis visible in the drawings
Contemporary Drawings
Jean Boudriots Planset
but also CAF is showing something similar - maybe in the manual (which I do not have by hand in moment) is something different shown

So guys, you can't really tell from the CAF drawing if they are wooden posts, but you guys are turning me on so I'm going to replace my pilars with wooden ones.
Sorry for that - maybe is written by Boudriot in the text in the booklet about the used material .......So guys, you can't really tell from the CAF drawing if they are wooden posts, but you guys are turning me on so I'm going to replace my pilars with wooden ones.
Visible in the contemporary drawing, that the pilar has a bigger cross sectional area (Querschnittsfläche) at the foot compared to the top.
Either Boudriot and also CAF have the same cross sectional area all over the height
So at the end it is a pure interpretation and all solutions can be correct - I like your interpretation also very much
Hi Tobias. I also had to do some catching up on your build. Nice little details. And looking forward to the start of the build of your Rochefort.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2023 and thank you for your support and trust in 2022.

Hello everyone,
I have to admit that Adi has infected me a bit and I don't want to leave him alone on the floor. Le Coureur is not quite finished yet and my goal is to finish the deck before the holidays. There are a lot of small construction sites. Since I'm sticking to the plans in the monograph on deck, I've removed the rear mast holder (red circle) and installed the rigging bracket.
Also turned the aft sail pole (sorry I don't know what it's called). I also rebuilt the pumps.
Further updates will follow.

Some beautiful re-do’s Tobias. The metalwork on the pump is looking very nice.

I agree with Peter, You have been awarded with a beautiful look for your redo's!
Your pumps are absolutely beautiful. Nice metalwork.
I love how you look at a task and think, “I‘ve got a tool that I can use to make that“ (here - a mill to cut an 8 sided stick). When I look at a task I think, “how am I going to make that without a tool?” And I do that even though I have the tools 
.
Nice metalwork!
