Le Fleuron 1729 scale 1/75 - Boudriot & Delacroix

Thanks @Mirek and everyone else for stopping by.

So I ended up using the printed galleon figurine I got from Salina01 and gave up on carving it myself (Salin is a friend from another forum). Salin's figurine is beautifully detailed and brings out the beauty of this ship.Thanks again, Salin.

Zároveň som nainštaloval aj bowsprit. Pripravil som si bobstay a tiež gammoning.

Hi Mirek, I greet you too and thank you. :)

Today I have to brag about what I managed to mess up.

The bowsprit was not at the correct angle and was almost resting on the figure's head.

And while disassembling, I noticed that the lower Deadeye was rotated incorrectly.

Fortunately, it was all easily fixed.
Do you also experience accidents like this, or am I just that clumsy?:mad:
 
Thanks for the encouragement, friends.

During the week I finished the upper windows and doors. I left them open to give a better view into the large cabin.At the same time I also started the carvings.

And he finished the taillight (that's the last LED I attached). It's not perfect, but I'm glad it turned out this way. It was a little short and the bottom almost ended up in the trash. But I finally put it in. I made the entire wooden bottom with just files and small chisels.

@dockattner niet sa za čo ospravedlňovať. Aspoň takto som mal dôvod pripomenúť ostatným klietku.

Pokračujem s rezbami. Veľmi sa mi nedarilo, najmä s dvojitými oblúkmi. Najprv som ich vyrobil z jedného kusu a pomaly som šablónou vyrezával drážky, ale museli ísť do koša.
Po dvoch pokusoch som zmenil technológiu a jednotlivé dvojité oblúky som vrstvil na seba. Nie je to 100%, ale som rád, že som to dostal aspoň do tohto bodu.
