This you never could explain to the doctor .........be carefull with the bandage in the vincinity of the laser before it catches fire
POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph- Gérard Delacroix) By Shota
Ususaly you are correct, but the Amarante had really a flat window
a small excerpt of a photo I made from the planset review
Thank you @Uwek, an interesting faux design! And how very French...
Hello Paul, as Uwe already mentioned, it is relatively flat, but it is not a real window, it is just a decoration on the side of the bottles.
Thanks Shota! Anytime I learn something new I am happy!Dear Paul
I'm sorry that I didn't reply to your questions, I agree with the detailed answer of the members. Thank you for your support all along
Good morning Shota. I was spending some time this morning going through posts and read about your accident from last Tuesday. I hope you are on the mend and your hand is healing well. I see you were back at modelling very quickly despite the injury - a true modeller, my respect my friend .

good evening my dear friends
In the last week, due to the temporary disability in working with my left hand due to the cut in my finger (healing at a good rate, but due to the depth of the cut it will take another two or three weeks to return to full sensation as before),
I decided to focus on refreshing my skills in working with the laser burner.
I am practice the work with the laser to start producing the planking in the bow and stern in the upper deck area and in the whales.
I saw in the logs of our friend Tobias a discussion about the composition of the trees .also I have looked at the log of our friend Giampy65.
I decided to make the whales from ebony wood, the planking board between them as well as the decorative boards from boxwood,
the five planking boards between them in pears.
I took drawing boards 1 and 23 and according to them I drew for the laser the different boards which I started to burn (first in the bow area).
I also made a jig that corresponds to the outline of the bow . I will insert the various wooden panels after steaming so that they will be shaped into a shape that will facilitate their gluing in the future.
The first two pictures are from Tobias' diary, the difference between us will be that he made the five planking boards from boxwood and I plan to make a pear. Following the photos of Tobias' amazing work I will present my work process .
Before I laser burned the ebony wood I burned a 0.6mm thick veneer to see that it came out to a good standard. I use burning as a process that may improve the image of accuracy and beauty in my work
I wish you all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend

Dear Shota. I fell behind on your log so had some catching up to do. Sorry to learn about your injury but I am happy to see that it seems to heal pretty quickly.
Despite the injury you have made real good progress and have mastered the laser cutting pretty well.

my dear friend Herman
thank you very much for your kind words and support, the injury is healing and the recovering process is well.
but since the cut was deep, the feeling has not fully returned and the area is still painful and feels like a small, painful lump inside the finger.
I believe that in two or three weeks the pain will improve. Thanks for everything

good evening dear friends
In the last week I progressed as the essay of the poem "One step forward and Two back".
First I finished shaping the five black planks in the bow of the whale.
I think the result is reasonable, but not satisfactory. However, I learned how to a better level.
after that I installed The back front of the stern. At first it looked good, but after the glue dried and solidified I noticed that on the left side when you look from the back or to the right when you look from the stern or from above , you can see that beam g does not sit all the way and is parallel to the corresponding beam g (marked by a black arrow).
This created miniature cities with the required symmetry and precision.
So I decided to disassemble g-beam and prepare a new one, as well as the included side beams adjacent to it to be readjusted.
I'm in the middle of the repair and accuracy process, so it's easy to see a bit of scraps and sawdust. They will be removed after I am satisfied.
Happily, tomorrow the monthly meeting of a group of ship model builders will take place in my country, I will update in the coming days.
I wish you all a restful and enjoyable weekend

Hello dear my friends
After quite a few hours of work, I reassembled the rear front of the stern, and in the framework of this I balanced and synchronized as symmetrically as possible all the components of the stern.
I know that I still have several spots that require cleaning from glue residue and wood shavings, this work will be completed in the coming days. It seems to me that after that I will take a few weeks off from working on the ship's hull and refresh myself by working on decorations and ornaments of the ship and thus refresh my wood carving skills.
In the meantime, I wish everyone a pleasant weekend and a good and blessed week to all of us
