POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph- Gérard Delacroix) By Shota

HHello my dear friends
In the last two weeks since the conference in Avian, I have been slowly preparing the planking for the other side of the ship.
On this side I made two changes, first I highlighted the black line between the panels using thin black paper and I also decided to make the gun window according to the original drawing, as our dear friend Tobias pointed out.
At the end of the process I will decide which side will be removed and changed.
I admit that the last few days I am a bit tired and progressing at a slow pace, there are days like that too.
I am attaching photos of the process that is in progress20241108_182006.jpg20241108_182020.jpg20241108_182030.jpg
 
Witaj
Drogi Shoto to wykonanie według wskazówek Tobiasza wygląda według mnie lepiej ale o wszystkim decydujesz Ty. Jestem ciekawy jaką podejmiesz decyzję ? Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
Dear Shoto, the execution according to Tobiasz's instructions looks better in my opinion, but it's all up to you. I'm curious what decision you'll make? Best regards, Mirek

My dear friend,
it looks very good, great progress. It is up to you which variant you want to choose, the correct historical variant or your variant. You have to like it and that is the most important thing, I would like to say that I like your variant very much.

Tobias my dear friend
Thank you very much for the help with the close guidance and the words of encouragement :)
 
My Dear friend Marquinius
Thank you very much for your opinion and words of encouragement, I completely agree with you, our hobby is not done hastily but patiently:)
 
Good evening dear friends
Today I finished installing the planking panels on the other side that matches the original historical plans, and as Tobias called my attention.
I am attaching photos of the other side and at the end two photos of the first (wrong) side.
We are faced with two options:
Removing the boards from the wrong first side and reinstalling the planking according to the plans similar to the new second side.
Or leave the existing situation according to which there will be a small difference between the parties (I gave it to my wife and two children and it took them a while to notice the difference, it is clear to me that in the eyes of experienced builders the difference will stand out and even disturb).
Of course I would love to hear your opinion

The port side looks tighter., Shota. And the accentuated ports give a nice accent. But the choice of the captain is the most important. And historically correct ......... many posts have been dedicated to that.;)
Regards, Peter
 
My two bits:
- don’t worry what others think about it …
- if it irritates you now … you will always see it … but you’re probably the only one

A small thought: would you be able to redo that side without damaging the ship?
 
Hello Shota,
I'm sorry for putting you in this situation. Without causing too much damage, if I were you I would rework the side that is historically the correct one and make your version. Here you would only have to file the sides and the upper frames and insert the frames without removing the planks. Even if it's not correct, it looks better somehow.

Whether or not the experienced builder will notice or not, it's your own opinion which counts, well yours and of course the Admiral's, but once you've seen it, you can't unsee, meaning whenever you look at your model, your eye will be drawn to the hotspots. I'll leave the final conclusions to you, my friend.
