MESSIS got a reaction from egkb in Royal Caroline by Messis - FINISHED - Panart - 1/48
Shrouds continue and am making my thoughts/investigations about the yards. Dontknow if they were black or pure. Do know though how they were shaped from Bellabarba's book.

More cabin progress has been made. Wall paneling is well underway and the LED's for two of the lamps have been installed. I finished designing the floor pattern and have begun building it. Very time consuming, but fun! A different sort of challenge than those normally faced with model ships.
I also took some time and milled down a pile of lumber for the outer planking. When I finish the cabin flooring I will switch back to planking to put the finish planks on.
To help with all of this, I got a new band saw for Christmas. Been needing one for a long time so when my tool store announced a sale, I quickly hopped in the truck and drove down to get one.

I know it’s been a while, but at long last an update. I have been working on the first layer of hull planking. Climbing steadily and I hope to be ready for a round of sanding by next weekend. I’m still trying to decide how I want to plank the finish layer and of what wood species.
Here are some progress pictures showing the planking process. The first one also shows the flex tube that I installed as a conduit for the LED wiring.

The waist deck stanchions:
Not much to say, except that I rounded the 1.5x1.5mm walnut strips on the deck.
A bigger challenge were the guns on the forecastle. They are 12 pounders medium guns. Their position is clear, but how were they held in place at sea? I am pretty sure they didn't glue them on the deck...
None of the books, nor the internet gave me a clear answer. Middleton put them at the forecastle gun ports, fully rigged.
I decided to follow some other model builders and used the tackle to fix the guns. This is most likely a good solution.
Lastly I added some eyelets around the (hole of the) mizzen mast. I may need them later when rigging.
And a global impression

Hi Mort,
very good question; I took a long time to find the the same answer as Ian just gave.
I don’t know the size of the actual rope on the HMS Victory in Portsmouth, but it looks quite thick.
I used 0.25mm rope, and put an extremely thin ( medical) guide wire “inside” the rope. It helps the rope to “hang” naturally.
