Le Rochefort Proposed Group Build Le Rochefort group build, builders wanted.

[Tony P]

I’d like to start a group build of Le Rochefort. Scratch plank on frame. We need 8 to 10 people for it. It’s an ideal ship as a first scratch build. In addition to the great monograph there’s also a step by step book by Adrian Sorolla that gives step instruction. Any interest ?? Tony

Sounds like a great idea, but too late for me as I’m at the final rigging stage now.

18th Century Bowsprit rigging arrangement

I’m Scratchbuilding a 1/36 scale Le Rochefort and am at the rigging stage. I’m not entirely clear as to how the bowsprit shrouds are attached to the end of the bowsprit. Are the 2 shrouds looped together over the end of the bowsprit? Hopefully the attached photo will explain. Also is the...

I think there’s posts he made previously in one of the forums but it’s not titled I think. Unless I’m thinking about someone else months back.

Hi
I think it’s here

current build images - Your actual Ship Modeling Project - briefly introduced at a glance -> present it here

Looks good, what scale you build it? Due to the fact, that Dirk was not metioning it..... It is the mortar of the Caf-section-model kit of the HMS Granado, POF in 1:48

I’m at this stage now.

 

[Tony P]

Yes, you could take all those photos and add more and post it all in one post with the name of the ship into a completed build or build log. Then we could find it.

Hi Toni,I added a prefix and made the thread sticky ,should be more noticeable now.

 

[clogger]

Yes tonphil. Once finished I’ll do that. Still unsure about adding sails or not.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Is your ship at sea, or in port, or in dry dock, how you plan to present it helps make up the mind on sales or no sales, or furled sails, for short port stay.

I will join in the Le Rochefort build. Le Gros and Le Rochefort monographs in 1:36 scale will be ordered next week. However, my main focus is on building my La Palme.

Toni I thank you for your words, as far as experience is concerned I am still at the very beginning, that is also the reason to join the project, to learn.
