Time for an update!
It has been a while, but progress has been made and Le Alceste will be finished soon.
During the build Captain Greenhair and Admiral Croissant paid me a visit, and the Alceste looks much better since their visit. Thank you guys!
The rigging is not quite finished yet, I'll complete it this week if everything goes according to plan. Then it's time to make and adding the sails.
Here are the pictures, I have to aplogy for the quality though. It's already dark outside and my lamp is just a small one.
Of course the red hull piece will be replaced by a proper brown one.
Another overview shot.
A deck view, the new helmstick (?) looks better then the former steering wheel I think. Credit goes to Captain Greenhair, as well for the idea to add large barrels to the deck.
An overview of the bow. Here you can see I've made a new capstan design. The small area between the bowsprit and the capstan will be done in dark tan.
A close up of the capstan.
And here we have the proud Captain Lucas.
