Aware that arsenal modeling has always caused a lot of respect among naval modelers, even though they are already very experienced in this trade. At the time of undertaking the start of a new ship model in arsenal from planes that are nothing more than some papers on the table, nothing of assembly box with the pieces already cut, slats already prepared in quantity and size as well as many other pieces already made, it scares a little.

But if we are already used to making our models from kits, the work in the arsenal modality that can be considered as the logical next step, although it can give us a little respect it does not have to scare us at all, since the knowledge in we have them in naval modeling and we will apply them in all phases as our construction progresses.

Although a monograph of a commercial model of easy acquisition has been chosen, the indications of the guide in general are applicable to any other monograph, only with the exception of the measures

With the achievement of the chapters the guide accompanies us, following a logical order of work one after another the different situations are resolved, always taking into account that not all modelers have the same tools, for which various forms of do the job, with more mechanized tools to other more manual solutions.

Consciente de que el modelismo de arsenal siempre ha causado muchos respeto entre los modelistas navales, aunque ya estén muy experimentados en este oficio. A la hora acometer el inicio de un nuevo modelo de barco en arsenal desde unos planos que no son más que unos papeles sobre la mesa, nada de caja de montaje con las piezas ya pre- cortadas, listones ya preparados en cantidad y tamaño así como otras muchas piezas ya fabricadas, asusta un poco.
Pero si ya estamos acostumbrados a realizar nuestros modelos a partir de kits, el trabajo en la modalidad de arsenal que puede considerarse como el lógico paso siguiente, si bien puede darnos un poco de respeto no tiene que asustarnos en absoluto, puesto que los conocimientos en materia de modelismo naval los tenemos y los iremos aplicando en todas las fases conforme avance nuestra construcción.

What I forgot to mention in the previous post:
Here the Book Review of the planset from Gérard on which basis the shown model was built
 
THANKS UWE, I WISH IT WAS IN ENGLISH, I REALLY COULD USE IT BADLY. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP THIS IS WHAT MAKES SOS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THEN ALL THE OTHER FORUMS, HELP FROM ALL FROM NOVICES TO MASTER BUILDERS AND TO TAKE THE TIME TO HELP OTHERS TRYING TO LEARN. THANKS Don
 
Latest news from ancre related monographs published by Gérard Delacroix, our member @G. DELACROIX

Gérard mentioned the following in his forum two days ago:

In front of the multitude of small problems which prevent me from working serenely, I transferred all my publications to ANCRE which will henceforth assure the diffusion.
These are the following monographs:

Le Commerce de Marseille,
La Fleur de Lis,
L'Amarante,
La Machine à curer les ports,
Le Rochefort
and finally
L'Égyptienne.

ANCRE will therefore take care of the distribution of the books and, good news, will take care of translations for those that do not exist.

Time to put everything in place and the monographs will soon appear on the ANCRE website.


and

Stopping publication does not mean stopping monographs. I hope that new subjects will see the light of day.

Since today you can find all the publications now under the Ancre-webpage:

 
Two more monographs are now also available in english language

and also

the spanish original text of Synopsis and Content from ancre:
Consciente de que el modelismo de arsenal siempre ha causado muchos respeto entre los modelistas navales, aunque ya estén muy experimentados en este oficio. A la hora acometer el inicio de un nuevo modelo de barco en arsenal desde unos planos que no son más que unos papeles sobre la mesa, nada de caja de montaje con las piezas ya pre- cortadas, listones ya preparados en cantidad y tamaño así como otras muchas piezas ya fabricadas, asusta un poco.
Pero si ya estamos acostumbrados a realizar nuestros modelos a partir de kits, el trabajo en la modalidad de arsenal que puede considerarse como el lógico paso siguiente, si bien puede darnos un poco de respeto no tiene que asustarnos en absoluto, puesto que los conocimientos en materia de modelismo naval los tenemos y los iremos aplicando en todas las fases conforme avance nuestra construcción.
Esta guía esta realizada justamente para ayudar en este paso, como sus nombre indica “Guía de introducción al modelismo de arsenal”, nos llevara de la mano en este proceso de iniciación, en la primera enramada que vayamos a afrontar, de manera fácil y amena con muchas, fotos, muchos comentarios, analizando y explicando cada uno los pasos a seguir; nos introduce en este mundo.
Desde el primer contacto con los planos hasta la conclusión total del modelo, que una vez terminado lucirá con brillo propio en nuestra colección, “la guía de introducción al modelismo de arsenal”, cubre todas las fases de la construcción
Aunque se ha elegido, una monografía de un modelo comercial de fácil adquisición, las indicaciones de la guía en general son aplicables a cualquier otra monografía, solo con la salvedad de las medidas
Con la consecución de los capítulos la guía nos acompaña, siguiendo un orden lógico de trabajo uno tras otro las distintas situaciones se van resolviendo, siempre teniendo en cuenta que no todos los modelistas disponen de las mismas herramientas, para lo que se ofrecen diversas formas de realizar el trabajo, con unas herramientas más mecanizadas a otras soluciones más manuales.
Elección de las maderas, interpretación de los planos, realización fácil de las plantillas, técnicas para el trabajo de la madera, uso de las herramientas de corte y manuales, elección y aplicación de los diferentes materiales, latón, ébano, boj, plomo, hojalata etc. Son explicados en esta guía, así como la realización de la grada de trabajo para nuestro modelo.

228 páginas ilustradas a todo color con más de 500 fotografías comentadas.

Yesterday I got via mail an information by Didier Berti from ancre, that this interesting book is now also available in english


AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANKED ON FRAME SCALE MODEL SHIP BUILDING
AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANKED ON FRAME SCALE MODEL SHIP BUILDING “DOCKYARD STYLE”
An introduction to Planked on frame model ship building through more than 200 pages illustrated by approximately 500 colour photographs and captions.
This guide includes explanations on all the techniques used during the construction of a model.
Available in English.

The translation was done by our friend and member @Gilles Korent

As soon I have my copy in hand I will make a Book Review

Synopsis:

It is obvious that building a planked on frame model has always generated a certain amount of respect within the model ship building community: even from experienced builders. Taking on the construction of a first planked on frame model from a set of plans seems daunting. No box of pre-cut pieces, no pre-milled to size lumber in required quantity, no pre-made parts: evidently, all this may seem somewhat intimidating.
If being already familiar in building from kits, the concept of building from plans may be considered as the next logical step. Even if this work may bring us some apprehension, it should not scare us away, as we have already acquired knowledge in model ship building: this is knowledge we can apply through all phases of the construction.
This guide was written to help the modeler through the various stages of construction. As the title indicates, “An introduction to planked on frame model ship building”, this guide will show us through the process of building our first framed model from plans. A fairly easy model to build while having fun and being supported by the numerous photos and extensive captions provided to analyze and explain each step. This guide will introduce the modeler to ship building from plans.
From the first look into the plans, to the completion of the model, which will be a remarkable piece in your collection, this guide covers all phases of the construction.
Although a fairly easy monograph was chosen, the information contained in this guide is such that the explanations can be applied to any other monograph by adapting the advice given and the dimension of the parts needed to whatever project you may take on.
The chapter sequence guides us through the logical construction stages. The different steps are presented while taking into account the fact that not all modelers are equipped with the same tools to fabricate the parts: varying from hand to highly mechanized power tools.
The choice of lumber, the interpretation of the plans, the use of templates to cut parts, wood working techniques, the use of cutting tools, the choice and purpose of different material (brass, ebony, boxwood, lead, tin, etc.) including the steps to follows, everything to build your model is explained in this guide.

If I read that Gilles has translated it, I hope it will be a good book.
There are a lot of differences between French and English shipbuilding, which are useful to know if you build such a model. I don't think that the book will cover these details. On the example pictures I see only details for the French method,
 
Well, there goes this year's book budget!! ;)

@Uwek , Is "modelismo de arsenal" the same thing as admiralty style models? It looks like the title " Introducción al Modelismo de Arsenal" is translated into English as "Introduction to Planked on Frame Scale Model Building", but I wonder if that term "de arsenal" has the same sense of "admiralty-style"?

Either way, it's on my short list.Banknote-EUROAnchorBanknote-EURO

Hallo Christian,
your comment is correct.
The author is showing the modeling construction methods mainly during the build of a model of the Le Rochefort.
The book will not compare the contemporary differences between english and french ship construction.
It is showing how to build a scratch model of a french ship. And modeling techniques and methods are mainly international.......
And due to the fact, that the Rochefort is a very good start into scratch this book wants to help to jump into scratch building
I will show more, when I have the english version in hand....

I am not so extremely specialist in this, but I try to explain, how I understand this, but I guss f.e. @Gilles Korent could explain in more in detail.

In french wikipedia is a web-page describing this term in detail:


This is a google translation of the main part:

Naval modeling is a leisure activity, which consists of building a reduced-scale model of old wooden ships, mainly from the 17th and 18th century, from monographs.

Considered, from the point of view of “model making”, as the pinnacle of art, the model making of arsenal obliges the model maker to respect in every detail not only the external appearance of the ship, but also the methods of construction of the different elements. components of the ship: frame, lining, interior fittings, rigging, going so far as to reproduce the techniques and artifices of assembly and assembly of the original model, such as mortises and tenons, embedding of parts, studs and pins, caulking bridges, fodder for ropes…

The arsenal modeler finds his pleasure in manufacturing, as close as possible to the original model, all the parts used in the composition of his model, going as far as cutting his own wood himself and making his ropes to diameters adequate.

This activity requires looking for reliable sources of information in local, regional, national and international archives. Some authors publish very complete monographs of ancient ships. Many websites and forums on the internet deal with the subject.

I am going to assume that your are talking about model ship building only: in regards to "French and English shipbuilding", knowing that real ships were definitely framed / built differently in those 2 nations during the time period. The Book only covers the method used by the author Adrian Sorolla to build his model of Le Rochefort. He built his ship one way, and the method happens to be what we most often see coming from the French modeling community: at least online. This is or course not a method that is exclusively French as many use this method throughout the world. As well, many french builders use other methods.
As for the translation, the version of the book contains the text included in the Spanish and French version: I did not make Adrian's book a new book by adding details or methods he did not include in the original text and illustrations.

Briefly:
An "Admiralty or Dockyard model" is the equivalent to a "modèle d'Arsenal".
In most cases, ships commissioned to be officially built under the "Royal Navy" banner or "King's order" or by "the Admiralty" in Britain, were built in one of the Nation's dockyards (British Admiralty shipyards) and or "Arsenaux (plural), Arsenal (singular)" for the French. In the late 18th century, shipbuilders in France were somewhat mandated / required or asked (the same is likely true for the British) to produce a basic model of the ship commissioned to be built: and at this point, only the hull was presented. Once that basic model was built to show the general lines and framing, the model was used for official "approval". In some cases, the model would have been completed afterwards, including most details: decor, fittings, rigging, etc.. Some of these models have survived through time and now on display in Museums or are owned by private collectors.
Models referred to as "Dockyard or Admiralty models" for the British, or as "modèle d'Arsenal" for the French present the characteristic found in the models built back then: they are built in detail ..... while respecting a certain degree of accuracy when built from historical sources: which, the model by Adrian is.

Modelismo de arsenal can not be translated to Admirality style.
It is a little bit more complex.

The arsenal modeler finds his pleasure in manufacturing, as close as possible to the original model, all the parts used in the composition of his model, going as far as cutting his own wood himself and making his ropes to diameters adequate.

That is right.
And to briefly complement my previous post (above) ...
For most builders, a model ship is a model ship... from there, for a smaller circle of model ship builders, a planked on frame model is a planked on frame model. These models can be built in many and any ways... And historically, for an even smaller circle of builders practicing "Modelismo de Arsenal" or "Modélisme d'Arsenal" or "Admiralty / Dockyard model shipbuilding" implies following stricter references and sources: the models do have a certain appearance as well.

The title of the book should conveys what the content is. Limiting it the translated version of the title to just "planked on frame model shipbuilding" would have implied, building using any method in general: and the reader may actually think that several methods would be described. Including the term "dockyard style" give a sense as how the model was built, what the ship looks like as a completed piece, the references used, etc. I could have use "Admiralty style": I did not as it may have implied the construction of a British ship.
The french built ships ordered by the King's authority in a shipyard called an "Arsenal".
The British built theirs in an "Admiralty shipyard".
Dockyards installations are found in both.

Most of the book is about building the hull of the model ship that could have been built at the time as a "modèle d'Arsenal" or as a model built in an"Admiralty shipyards" (again, see my previous reply).
And as written by the author, the book could have ended at that stage (building the hull only), but Adrian chose to describe making mast and spars as well as describe the simple rigging of the vessel. At that point he, himself, diverges from the initial intent of the book by saying that this parts of the construction could be applied to any method the modeler may have chosen to build the hull.
