Hello Oliver, you have a really massive base plate, clean.
Yeah, Thinking big. It´s a massive hull as well. The problem is that a baseplate with this size is more or less twisted. Better to fix this !
Hi Oliver, I have massive respect for your build… Not only the quality of your finish, but also the way you build, the order in wich you execute the different tasks…
Great work!
Great work!
Thank you Ronald,
This build is a evolution from my first build, the La Belle. All the errors, the problems, i try to avoid here because the lessions what i´ve learned.
But there a lot of space to make new errors
.
Thank you for your interest in my project.

So you are thinking already about the third model .....But there a lot of space to make new errors
Great work on your jig - I am looking forward to see the work in natural during spring when we meet in Augsburg.
"Boltplan" - how you design theoretical the location of each metal or wooden bolt (wooden bolts in this length?)
Are you planing to execute all these bolts - they will be hardly visible, especially in the midship area.....
Very interesting to see your efforts
To speak the truth... I have created my timeline for the next 5 models. All of them will be own reconstructions and there exists no models from these ships. Only one Project has a contemporary model in a museum.... Arrieved today a bunch of plans for some research activitys.
I try to to take along Le Redoutable to Augsburg. But only if she can stand free without Jig. Augsburg this year, not in two years !
The bolts i will put all on place. As well the bolts in the underwateraerea. They are not shown on the sheet. The wooden bolt is a bolt as well to substitute the metalbolt in the gunport area. The space between the frames is to small, yes. In der middlesection they will be more or less inivisible.

Your work is simply stunning, clean and precise, very nice to look at.
First assembly. Quick and dirty to test the results from the last 6 months.

Mega. A giant compared to mine. I'm thrilled Oliver.
Wow! She's a beast! I am always impressed with you guys who are scratch building.

it's looks wonderful progress, well done
Thank you all. Yes, it was a great day. Forgot to open a beer.
Isn´t it a good feeling to put the frames inside the jig - to see first time, that there is really a hull of a ship ?
And your frames are fitting very well inside the jig - Bravo
In the evening I will drink a beer with a "Prost" on your model
Cool

I can only agree with the good Uwe, I will also toast tonight with a beer to your excellent work. Zum Wohl. 
Prost for you all ! I think in Augsburg i will drink a beer together with you all.
Yes, Uwe. Its a magic moment to lift the frames the frist time and place it on the right place. Its a little bit like Kinderüberraschung.
You never know what you get.
