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

Hello dear friends
It's been several weeks since my last update on the building, the main reason is focusing on preparing the ship's waterline.
The work included drawing the line, individual preparation of each ebony plank according to the planking plan that produces a continuous and beautiful line.
I would like to clarify that sometimes I dedicated about two to three hours to each ebony plank board, starting from the drawing stage of each plank, checking its suitability for the boards and frames next to them and on which it will be placed/glued.
This stage required a lot of sanding as well as shaping curves with steam, heat and attaching to a jig that would determine the configuration.
After that, the gluing at the bow and especially at the bottom of the stern required patience and assistance with bushings for wooden clamps/clamps.
And finally, many sandings were carried out until a smooth and even surface was obtained, on which linseed oil was applied.
In the next stage, I will prepare pear wood planks that will connect to the line of ebony extensions, creating a full cover for the keel.

Until then, I wish you all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend.
