037 – Échelles de coupée (Boarding Ladders)
Thank you David.
The boarding ladders on French predreadnought battleships are always a challenge. To reach out over the tumblehome hull, they usually come in three sections. First, a ladder descends from the main deck. Then a platform extends out to reach over the curve in the hull. Then another ladder extends down to the waterline. The odd looking wood device in image 289 is my ladder assembly tool. It helps me achieve some level of uniformity. All the parts for the boarding ladder assemblies are made of paper. Since some railing was needed, I show those being made in images 291, 292 and 293. After the paint dries (image 293), they can be cut out and installed. The vintage photo 297 was my best source for replicating the ladder assemblies. Best Regards, Mike
