One thing I really like about this forums and build logs, is it doesn't matter what nation you are from, we can all enjoy beautiful craftsman ship in model building.
Fantastic work!!!

Looking great ! Congratulations for the finalization of this important working step
One comment (but more related to the original drawings of Boudriot):
I am every time surprised (and I tried to check it also already in the past) that the capstan is looking for me too high.
The bars for turning the capstan would be appr. in the height of 1,80m which would be too high for seamen using it.....I think, that here an error in the drawings happened - my personal thought)
The Salamandre was a french ship, so here you can find some old french songs (singing also during lifting the anchors)

On the plans I measure the capstan at 3cm. So it would be by my rough calculation 1.44 metres tall scaled up. It looks taller on the model. Maybe a distortion from the camera?
