Good morning Tobias. May you, your family and friends have a rewarding and memorable Christmas 2024. Cheers Grant
Happy 1st Christmas,
a mini update.

Good evening everyone,
we've achieved a small success, the carriages are finished. Next comes all the brass work. And then, yes, then comes what Paul and I don't like at all. The rigging of the cannons.

A nice collection of jigs. The carriages look perfect!
Great update. I love the presentation on a slipway and the beautiful finish. I'm also picking up on my Coureur build, which is at about the same stage but not even close to yours in perfection-yet passable. I'm going to copy your cannon jigs-that's my next step.

Pretty. Is that Klinker style?
Nicely milled axles and nicely build carriages Tobias.

Nicely build carriages, but in my opinion they are always looking not high enough. The guns should have more space at the lower edge of the ports.
Witaj
Piękne zrobione lawety Tobiaszu, jak również cały model piękna praca . Olinowanie armat nie jest takie trudne nie zniechęcaj się zrobisz je na pewno pięknie. Pozdrawiam Mirek
Hello
Beautiful carriages made Tobiasz, as well as the whole model, beautiful work. Rigging the cannons is not that difficult, do not be discouraged, you will definitely do them beautifully. Best regards, Mirek

Beautiful work. This was on my short list but I ordered the La Belle instead.
Thanks Paul, not quite perfect but more stable and slightly adapted to the original plans.
Thanks Alex, the slipway is from the presentation in Augsburg, even though Le Coureur is not glued to the slipway, it is very stable.
Hello Vic, yes you are right, Le Coureur has clinker planks. Personally I really like this type of planking.
Thanks Peter, I had to experiment for a long time, the front axles are only 2mm x 2mm. Thank God the new indexable inserts and parting mandrel arrived yesterday, so it went very well.
Good morning Christian, you are absolutely right, unfortunately the cannons are still about 2mm too low. These 2mm somehow run through the whole model. It is probably due to the plan, as Uwe, Adi and I already noticed this in the interior construction, i.e. the doors which had to be shortened by these 2mm. I suspect that the beam traveler would simply have to be set 2mm higher and then there would be no difference. I could build the gun carriage 2mm higher, but I don't yet know how it would all look.
Hello Mirek, thanks for your encouragement, it will probably be a very fiddly job but somehow it will work out.
Witaj Mirek, dziękuję za zachętę, prawdopodobnie będzie to bardzo skomplikowana praca, ale jakoś się uda.
Hello Tony, thank you. La Belle is a very beautiful model and I hope you will enjoy it. In any case, I am very excited about your construction diary and will follow it with great interest.
Wonderful work Tobias, all to your usual very high standard. Rigging the cannons? As Paul would say “ugh”, but no doubt you will do an excellent job of them.
