my dear friend Oliver
the visit to your home together with Uwek and the conference in Augsburg were unforgettable and most enjoyable also thanks to the most charming hospitality.
I also tell to my colleagues about the great experience I had with you and all the friends. :)Coffee
I will be happy to meet again next year at one of the conferences planned near Geneva/Lozan on October 24
 
Thanks to all for all the likes and positive comments.

@Uwek Good that you have an eye on the details. Its everytime good to check other opinions!
But why do you think that they folded out?

Why in?
I found a lot of contemporary drawings that shows a removed light. Removed or "maybe" folded in. Folded out i never view.
But maybe exists, i dont know.
A drawing on Page 46, Second book, of Jean Boudriots V74 shows a folded in window. Thats why i decide to go this way.

It was just a feeling.... sorry
and it seems that you are right - just found a photo of the frigate replica of the hermione - definitely inside

btw: from inside I made some photos, but can not see exactly how the window is fixed folded to inside

Hermione - a 32-gun Concorde-class frigate fitted for 12-pounder guns - dockyards of Rochefort, France

During the visit of the modelers event in Rochefort I had the chance to visit also the frigate Hermione in the docks of Rochefort. In the first post you can find a short description, following the photos I made during my visit....if questions, please do not hesitate to ask photo by Uwe From...

Thank you very much for all the feedback.

@Uwek
Another famous example for the window.

Many thanks for showing us this famous model of the Egyptienne.
In the meantime I am convinced, that the windows would swing inside, because they had a chance to fix the window in a certain angle, maximum horizontal on the roof of the cabin - swing to outside would need a mechanism with sticks etc. -> I am convinced :oops:
Interesting also the false windows at the sides - my Coureur has them all over the stern......
Thanks for showing us this detail
 
I spent the last days before the well-deserved summer holiday making new clamps. Unfortunately, due to the narrow frame spacing incl. bolt heads, I could no longer use my clamps from the
La Belle. So new ones were needed. With the focus on subsequent projects, I oversized them a lot. I could now also build a Valmy in 1/48 with them (actually a nice project).
I will also make new clamps for the bow area. But there I will copy the La Belle principle 1:1, because they worked great there. I will show this in detail when it is ready.

Beautiful work. I really like your build, your shop, and your tools! Handy to have a vacuuming assistant, too! Your plan work is great.. I'm learning 3D CAD because it is very useful. It's a great time to model. What a ship she'll be.
