LE ROCHEFORT - Harbour yacht from 1787 1:36 by Tobias (Monograph by ANCRE)

The quality of your work is extremely good - and I like your pear wood very much
If I like your boxwood planking? On the deck definitely - the hull planking I still do not know my personal taste.......

@GrantTyler thanks my friend.

The starboard side has been finished with the inside planking, we're continuing on the port side, while it was drying I started on the outside planking, here I'm using boxwood again to pick up the yellow of the coloring as can be seen in the monograph.

What a nicely aligned planking and profiles, Tobias.

Hello everyone, thank you for your interest.

Uwe @Uwek for the boxwood, it will be similar to La Palme, there will be another row, then the whale will be made of hornbeam again up to the waterline, the rest of the hull will be made of pear or white hornbeam. I based this on the color sample from the monograph. Since I'm not a fan of brushes, I'll try to do it with natural wood and if necessary, stain will be the only option.
