Bookmarked this post. Love them

They are great - with the thin part / reduced width which will be between the frames
and when I see correctly - The end is not fixed to the axis - you have only to turn the outer metal plate by 90°
Great idea !!!!!!
Can I order some?
These would be a bestseller for scratch and POF kit modelers

Thanks to all for the comments.
My chance to become a millionaire with ship modeling!
Unfortunately, it is a terrible job to mill brass with my tools. Never again, better to continue to stay poor. But I will upload a revised engineering drawing, then anyone can rebuild it. After my vacation...

OK - no millionaire ....... But maybe an idea for any small production line by somebody else - I guess you have a patent right

Wish you an enjoyable holiday - and keep care

I bought this after Karl's recommendation. I'm building up the outside of the stern at the moment, then it can prove whether it's useful.

A very good decision. Recently I bought Proxxon PS 13 sander, a small helpful tool.

 

[Olivers Historic Shipyard]

I used the PS13 on my La Belle. Absolutly helpfuly tool for the small corners!

Oliver, your build is a great example of the marriage between technology and the artistry of a modeler working with their hands. Great stuff!

Thank you Ken @Hoss6262 , for your interest and your kind words.

Short and quick update: the side counter timber

Hi Oliver,
it's nice to see you back on the model.
Very neat work, the side counter timbers kept me on my toes.

 

[Olivers Historic Shipyard]

Thank you, Tobi. Its good, if its over . Can it be, that the next corners will be easier ?

 

[Uwek]

very sofisticated work - Great idea

 

[Tobias]

Thank you, Tobi. Its good, if its over . Can it be, that the next corners will be easier ?

Once you have made a few (3 attempts) it becomes easier. As far as the next rear timbers are concerned, these are much nicer to make.

Love to see this in action. Great idea, excellent exuecution!
