Le Rochefort 1/36 - Build Log by Moreplovac

Continue with frame building, sanding, etc... after checking the thickness on all parts, some of them will be able to reuse and some not... so new and old frames lined up... other, missing one are still on the board, waiting for cut..


Happy modelling..

Keel structure needed a bit of a extra work so here is current keel built stage..







Rabbet lines were giving me the hardest time, mistakes like missing correct plan line, too deep chisel cuts, slip over working part making bad scratch marks (not like "Cat scratch fever" Ted Nugget) etc, causing make of two extra stem, apron and forefoot parts...oh well, will have plenty of pear wood for other ship parts and other ship kits are waiting in line.. won't go to waste bin.

Continue with wrapping up keel work so I can jump on frames...

Happy modelling.

Getting inventory off all frame parts...





Missing parts are ready to be cut... recycling some old, bad ship parts...

Working now on transom timbers...






Testing on a spare wood part, wing transom..













I think I grasped needed steps for wing transom... Now, started to work on lower transom timbers, from #5..



Not sure about you but I always trying to use protective gloves when using scalpels or other cutting tools.. have enough marcs on my tomb from "I can stop it no problem"...





And a little bit of mistake...



New part on the bench..















I think I have it done right, hopefully... not all cuts are done but the most difficult, at least for me, is completed...

Here are various hand tools used for this piece..




Happy modelling..

Good morning,
everything looks very harmonious and the finishing touches will only come on the model anyway.
