Sorry Tobia I just indicated a construction phase, all here and nothing special
POF La Palme (L'Amarante) Corvette 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph) by Tobias
...esto es una advertencia!
I love dry humor
Very good and accurate work on the joints - how you cut the curved lines, that there is absolutely no gap in the joint ?
Are you using a jigsaw? Dekupiersäge?

Hello Uwe, first of all, thank you. I pre-cut everything with the scroll saw and then work the curves with the spindle sander until they fit. It is very tedious because you have to work very precisely. However, the result is quite satisfactory.
Very nice start, looks accurate and clean. This will be something quite extraordinary, I can see. Ich guck zu.
Have a wonderful good Sunday evening everyone. A little update, this week I started with the rear, I can tell you it's pretty tricky, well that's how I wanted it 
. I had to redo frame 52 and 53 on the port side. The following error happened to me with the No. 52: I misinterpreted the plan and milled the notch for the fashion piece a little too deep. For No. 53, I glued the double frames mirror-inverted.
See you soon.
Ps.: Thanks to everyone for your comments and likes.

Schöne akkurate Arbeit - wunderschönes Holz - was braucht man mehr, um eine schönes Modell zu bauen 
beautiful accurate work - wonderful timber - what does a modeler need more to build a beautiful model

super work sir congrats
Hello everyone, I need your help. It's all about the type of nails. I understood that the nails on the connections are tree nails and the rest are steel nails (square).
Unter 4 steht es und ich interpretiere diese Info so:
Die Elemente der Spanten sind jeweils mit drei metal Bolzen (mit quadratischem Kopf) pro joint verbunden. Nur oben an den Lucken sind diese durch hölzerne ersetzt
Under point 4 it is described and I interpret it in such a way:
The elements of the frames are every time connected with metal bolts (square heads) per joint. Only at the height of the gunprts they are changed to wooden treenails
here you can see in red the metal bolts and green the wooden treenails - every time 3 bolts together
it is better to see at such a cross section - here I marked the bolts in the same colour - once more every time three per joint - means 6 bolts per frame element
BTW: the english translation of the Amarante was done by our friend @Gilles Korent so I am pretty sure, that he can compare his translation, my interpretation of the english text and the original french text from Gerard Delacroix ....... I hope my interpretation is correct
BTW: square head bolts can be very good simulated by shoe nails, which I used first time on my last model of the Granado section

The frames are prepared with all the visible nails now we have to make the riders for the mortar base. These heavy stiffeners were necessary to take over the weight of the shell room with mortar and also the extreme forces of the bomb during firing all together 5 riders are under the mortar -...

good morning Tobias, for the nails, see the ones that Amati has
Hello folks, well in the last 1 1/2 weeks I couldn't do anything because a gastrointestinal flu completely logged me out. Here you can see my attempt to build the first frames, well it is more difficult than it looks because I had to realize that the frames tend to warp when gluing and the double frames then no longer fit exactly on top of each other. Let's see how I can improve this technique of gluing. Maybe someone has a tip. Today I will first rebuild the upper part of the shipyard (waterline no. 9). Have a nice sunny weekend everyone, spring is just around the corner.
Se you
Se you
This is a very ambitious project, Tobias! I'll watch with great interest.
I agree, you are on a very good path, Tobias.
Hi Gennaro, the frames are 4.5mm (9mm) and thanks
Wonderfull woodworking Tobias, jealouse at your joints.
