Hello My dear friends
Today I am happy to announce that I'm opening my new construction project : POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph by Gérard Delacroix)
with this beautiful I will enter an important and challenging phase, building a full scratch model.
First, I will start with a short brief background on the ship and the Monerphy:
L'Amarante was completed in december 1747 and in March 1748 it captured the British kaperskib Prince of Wales. Between July and November 1751 L'Amarante participated in a scientific expedition off the coast of Spain and Portugal. In June 1757 it leaves Rochefort together with four frigates and one other corvette to escort a convoy to Brest and it also performed convoy service in 1758. In October 1759 L'Amarante departs from Dunkirk with five frigates and 1200 men for a planned landing attempt in Ireland. It is on this occasion L'Amarante sank off Saint-Malo in February 1760.
L'Amarante had a length of 84 feet (French) 6 inches (27.44 m), width 22 feet (7.15 m) depth of 10 feet 1 inch (3.27 m). Fully loaded, a tonnage of 232. The armament consisted of twelve 4-pounder iron guns.
This monograph is based on the plans of a corvette started by builders Ollivier father and son in the years that will follow the appearance of a well identified type.
This monograph details the architecture, the fittings, the equipment and the rigging of a corvette of 12 guns of years 1745. The plans are at 1/36 for a relative ease of execution .
The model measures at 1/36 ° (L x W x H):
hull only: 0.86 m x 0.22 m x 0.22 m
rigged ship: 1.08 m x 0.44 m x 0.86 m
I recommend reading the comprehensive and thorough review by our dear friend Uwe (the details above are based on them)
In addition, I recommend looking at the construction diaries of our good friend Tobias, who helps me a lot in preparing for the start of construction and with relevant information
In addition, I will help with the construction diary of our good friend Giampy65, who has finished building a very beautiful model
In the next post I will detail a little about the preparations for the actual start of construction.
I invite you all to join me on this special journey, your company will help me on the journey I am embarking on with great excitement

POF La Palme (L'Amarante) Corvette 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph) by Tobias
Hello Frank, I will not show the keel lifted. I don't know many model builders who do this either. I don't think it looks pretty. As far as planking goes, I'll definitely do that. Sorry Tobia I just indicated a construction phase, all here and nothing special

L'Amarante - French corvette from 1747 scale 1:30 [COMPLETED BUILD]
I started building this French corvette in April 2013, using Gerard Delacroix's excellent monograph. For its construction I used pear, ebony, Brazilian boxwood and maple wood for the decking. The model is currently still to be finished as I intend to set it up with its complete sailing...
