La Couronne 1636 ( scratch build ) 1:96

[calinous]

Lots of work remains to be done on the rigging, knots, flags, sails, fighting tops (if those exists). But it already looks like a jewel

Thanks a lot for your replies, my friends

Glen: she could be tall about 62 cm
Mike: I´m glad the ship is nice to you.....
calinous: I know, I have just a half of progress behind me and I have a lot of work with rigging mainly...


I made about 100 deadeyes, they are made from 2 mm ca and twice painted, in each of them are three holes 0,8 mm, each hole was tefined after each part of progress......rtoon, each of then is twice impregned........but what a hell I have to do at the evening....



I have to produce about 100 smaller ones (1,5 mm smaller)

On each model and plan are rounded deadeyes, but as I knowm rounded type was used during the second half of the 17th century, so I decided to use triangular deadeyes.

Several photos:

I used the Reveell bronze color No. 95 and patined them a little with graphite from pencil

I spent several days by producing of the lower row of tops. Dimensions on the drawing are ABSOLUTELY WRONG I had to improvise absolutely - but I did it succesfully

Hello Jan,
One can see with the way you produced those tops, that was a lot of work.
With the paint on them, they really look great.

Nice work, Jan!

Your tops came out great, they will look superb on the masts!

Cheers!

The summer is almost over, so I have a little bit time to continue again. Some ropes and deadeyes are on the ship
