EJ_L, I also have this same kit. I hope to someday have time to begin it. When I was looking around for sails and other items I came across this site that had all kinds of castings and other things for this model, and many others. I have not purchased from them but understand they are a good company. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk Just type in La Couronne in the search menu.- 608 replies

Lori, welcome aboard. What kind of repairs are you looking for?

Seems they have only released it to a small group in Eastern Europe and they are hardware specific. I see many people are requesting to add them to the list. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/392-focus-testing/

Thought this was interesting. A new computer Naval Action computer game. http://www.navalaction.com/ If you look in the forums they are looking for 3D Modelers to model everything from ships to canons to deck furniture. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/507-2014-establishment-architects-shipyards-fitting-companies-ironworks-wanted/

3sheets10, MSW has many great articles in the Articles and Downloads section. Take a look at the planking guide and it may help with explaining spilling and stealers and a few other things. http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf

3dsheets, it looks like you filed the bow flat. Can you take some pictures of the bow? You will want it to come to a point in the front and some of it will be filed down for the false keel but some of it will be at a point at the top.

Al Sieffert, welcome aboard. I would say based on my experience is get the deck done, planking done. Paint if you are painting anything, and then varnish the deck and hull. Then as you go, varnish any deck furniture and accessories, etc. I would also check any build logs in progress or complete to see when they were at the point of varnishing as well. That may give you a better idea as to when. Also, start a build log so we can follow along and give advice when needed.

Fir the side where the decks do not line up I would sand the edge of the deck down to get it to match the edge of the stern step deck. don't worry about getting it too close to the bulkhead as you will be planking that area. As far as bulkhead 10, you do want it to be recessed as you have it now but you want that bulk head to be even with the end of the deck. so try to put a wedge in between bulkheads 10 and 12 on the right side of your picture to lift 10 up a little so it is more even with the deck. Hope that makes sense.
-
I am not sure I see where it is uneven. Can you draw on the picture and circle the area's that you think are uneven.
-
From what I recall the angle of the deck looks correct.

I know a photo speaks a thousand words but I don't have any from my build. Wish I did bit I finished my Swift well before I discovered this site. Anyway, on my plans on the photo page, step 5 shows that you have to file part 12 and 10 so they are flush and flat. if you jump to photo 7 in the lower right corner it shows that when you plank it the planks will have to set flat all the way to the end of the stern. Just remember that all of the bulk heads will have to be filed down so that the planks will rest flat on them so when you glue the planks they will have something to adhere to and will not have any kinks or sharp bends in them.
-
I hate to tell you but you have allot more sanding to do.. You need to fair the bulkheads so that when you lay a plank down on them they will set flush and not bend funny or buckle. Please download the Simple Planking Tutorial and pay close attention to page 9 to see what I am referring to. http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php You need to file that bow down to a point so the planks make a point at the bow, then part way down you will grind some of the point down so the false keel fits. Your instructions may not be the same as mine, but steps 4-5 talk about it but it sure isn't clear. Go to the builds logs for kits in progress and type in Swift in the search window. There are a few Swift's in process and you can see how some of them accomplished this.

I am glad it's working out for you. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
