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

Looks like you have most every power tool you need to build a first-rate ship from scratch.

 

[shota70]

Without the hint from Uwe, I had totally missed the start of your new project. I wish you a lot of patience and fun during the build.

Good to see you're embarked on another build journey and a scratch build to boot. Good luck with this adventure. At least you have a couple of knowledgeable people around, who are not afraid to give you feedback.
I'll take a seat and will watch patiently qnd quietly how this build will unfold.

Thank you very much, my dear friends, I am really happy that you are also joining us on this interesting and challenging journey which I hope will also be enjoyable and beautiful.

Dear Daniel
almost everything
As you know it's hard to satisfy our desire for more tools.
For example, I lack a good lathe

Indeed shota, I know what you mean.

I am everytime smiling, when modelers are saying, that scratch building is cheaper than kits - when we are honest, we spend a lot of money for new power and hand tools - and we have never all or enough tools - we humans are still hunters and collectors
Good to see, that you already started with making sawdust

Hi Shota,
I discovered your project today and it will be an amazing project. I agree with a recent member who said that your jig is a work of art in itself. I always admire those who are able to build such projects like this from scratch. I do not think I have the skillset to accomplish this type of build.

 

[shota70]

Dear Donnie
I am really excited about your joining to the new journey, thank you very much for the warm and kind words.
I admit that few years ago I did not believe that I was able to reach the qualities of the models and the work of the amazing members of our group.
but we all have a hunger and passion for progressing in the creative abilities of the models and qualifying for new peaks.
The journey and the peaks to which we achieve create the joy of creation and pleasure for all of our lives

my dear friend
I agree with the analysis of the situation as you described!
indeed I create a lot of sawdust

 

[Kortes]

A very beautiful and interesting project.
Wishing you inspiration in your work, dear Shota.

good evening dear friends
In the last two days, I continued the work on the back of the ship, which includes the following parts: sternpost , Deadwood, Inner post and the Rabbet (I hope I am accurate in the professional/historical terms).
I removed the paper only on parts where there was no carving/engraving/milling work left.
it's little bit late and I'm tired so I'll let the pictures express the process and the intermediate results in building The back parts of the keel of the ship
Good nnightmy friends

 

[Uwek]

Maybe you check once more the final form of the sternpost on the left
it seems, that there is a slight bow sanded, so that on top and also at the bottom you have a gap (red arrow)
in the middle part it is looking that the two parts are in contact (green arrows)
If the parts are not 100% straight in the contact joint, you will have a visible gap between

My Dear friend
You are absolutely right, but as I mentioned before, this is not the final result and that further adjustments and sanding that must be made in order to achieve accurate results.
I intend to make wooden jigs that will help maintain the required angle and reduce the gaps.

 

[shota70]

I have a A question for Tobias, Giampy65 and anyone who can help
In the drawing of the keel you can see that under the four central parts there is one long strip underneath with a thickness/height of about 1.2 mm.
I am attaching a picture of the drawing, the strip is marked with a black arrow


The point is, is it really necessary to produce such a long strip of wood that is glued under the four parts and in what color?
Or as I saw in the construction logs of Tobias, and Giampy65 this wooden strip does not exist and then you may have included it in the height of the 4 parts or it was glued or will be glued in another step or an advanced step. Thank you very much for your help

 

[Steef66]

I know that below the keel of a dutch ship there is a strake over the lenght. It protects the keel and can be replaced after a while. This looks to me the same.

 

[kuba91nt]

I once wondered about this too. it is a protective slide or strake as Steef66 wrote.

 

[Jimsky]

This part is called a false keel, The false keel was a timber, forming part of the hull of a wooden sailing ship. Typically 6 inches (15 cm) thick for a 74-gun ship in the 19th century, the false keel was constructed in several pieces, which were scarfed together, and attached to the underside of the keel by iron staples. The false keel was intended to protect the main keel from damage, and also protect the heads of the bolts holding the main keel together. The false keel could easily be replaced when it became damaged.

I found something like a worm shoe on keel? Maybe that's what it's about ?
