    I decided to equip the ship with a compass cabinet, as a ship on long voyages it surely must've had one. Created according to the monograph of Bounty. Further I've created the steering wheel rack.. According to the Sergal sails I created new sails and adjusted the height of the masts accordingly, the masts in the kit were too tall. Further work on the masts is already in accordance with the monograph of Royal Caroline .. Further created the topmasts and the foundations of the tops ..
  14. Ondras71
    Main masts made of Ramin... reinforcements .. A small test of the sails ... Placed cleats ..
  15. Ondras71
    Finished guns with hoists .. I decided to provide the model with sails, so I ordered the ones Sergal offers as a complement to the model .. The quality of the sails, however, is comparable to the quality of the model, it is poor .... I measured the sails according to the plan, modified them a little for greater historical authenticity. I had them dome by Radelshipmodels .... The quality is much better ... I also decided to replace lime logs from the kit with Ramin, it has a better color of the wood. bowsprit made of Ramin ... http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/list-of-kits-and-accessories/accessories---sails

    I made the gun restraining ropes .. Cannons placed firmly on to the deck .. Next in line were tackles. These are made of blocks of 1x2 and 2x2 mm. (Radekshipmodels..) Blocks half the size would be better, but those aren't sold ..
  17. Ondras71
    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.
  18. Ondras71
    Chain-plates placed on the hull Blocks placed under the sheet bitts The blocks, eyelets, clamp deadeyes and the belaying included in the kit were poorly made, I've purchased new ones from a Czech manufacturer "Radekshipmodels.cz" According to the monograph of Endeavour I've made the last solid deck equipment - the pumps http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/

    Greetings marsalv. Your HMS Pandora is beautiful, I wish her at least as good results in international competitions as your Royal Caroline had.
  20. Ondras71
    Greetings. Such a pretty boat deserves to continue !!!
  21. Ondras71
    Thank you very much! The deckeck equipment in the ships plan is also fabricated, I haven't seen it on any other ship. I began to arrange the deck according to the monograph of Royal Caroline. I made new sheet bitts and a new ships bell .. The flag in the kit was not in scale and it was from the bad time period after 1805. An acquaintance of mine has created a new set of flags for the year 1760, so far the back flag is made and placed on the flag pole.
  22. Ondras71
    Rudder equipped with chains I modified the first two figures 1:87 (HO trains) in commander's uniforms of the era created stairs and railings capstan made of walnut wood I've created new channels, the ones from the kit could not be used Preparation of the lower deadeyes
  23. Ondras71
    I've redone the too thick rudder fittings and finished another hinge, they were too few. I created a new rudder of wood. The one in the kit was too thick. I started creating stern decorations made of baked clay, I tried to copy the metal cast decorations. Stern decorated Model placed on a stand. I placed a temporary board under it to prevent hull damage during handling. And I've attached the rudder. Rudder done.
  24. Ondras71
    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.
  25. Ondras71
    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"
