Thank you for your continuing log.  I've finally got to get back to mine a bit.  I'm a big fan of some of the mods you've made.  I hope you don't mind if I take some inspiration from them in my own.

This is an inexpensive kit, but I believe that a nice model can be made of it. I like to draw inspiration from other forums as well.

Next in line were the cannons.

Again, I rjected those in the kit and created new ones, cannon barrels Amati, carriages

made of walnut wood.

The ironwork is partially brass and paper.

Greetings. Such a pretty boat deserves to continue !!!

You're builidng a superb President!

Amazing

I darkened the very bright deck using graphite and I've marked the pinnning with a needle and graphite

I kept looking for a pattern of this ship and I found it. Among Chapman's plans under number 52, it is the
English West India Trader. So the draft is almost exact. A pity that I did not find it sooner.

The view of the stern decoration proves this.
 

I measured the model using 1:87 figures and the kit is actually in a 1:90 scale, I do not understand why the
manufacturer doesn't present it as such.
 

Bow according to the plan is entirely inaccurrate, made of metal laths

used the figurehead from the kit, but the rest of the bow is new

forecastle gratings

toilets

A new bow

I wish you all merry Christmas and a lot of "model success"

After a long time I returned to the construction of a wooden sailboat model. As the first kit I chose a kit I found on the Internet, it´s the "President frigate" made by Sergal.
After studying the package, I found out that the model is not quite true to type, or scale. The scale described as 1:60 in my opinion disagrees. I calculated the model to be 1:90 scale, which is more accurate.
This is more of a model than an exact replica, but I decided to modify it. I´m building the deck equipment and rigging according to the monograph of the ship Royal Caroline, it is the same size and the era corresponds aswell.
I began the construction in August 2012. I aim for a most authentical processing of details for which I draw inspiration from available books and documents.
Wooden parts of the kit are good, but the details and ornaments aren´t. Since the beginning of the construction I´ve been taking photos, I´m posting a few to share the experience..
