Pandora by marsalv - FINISHED - 1:52
Ondras71 replied to marsalv's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Greetings marsalv. Your HMS Pandora is beautiful, I wish her at least as good results in international competitions as your Royal Caroline had. -
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.

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

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.

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"

foredeck rear deck wall After completion of the hull I wondered how to create the stern, I refused the crooked metal castings the kit included. I wanted the ship to have a wide mirror, as for example HMS FLY does. I created a new mirror including the side galleries Here I made the deck equipment

Lining of the deck made of maple laths 0,5 x 3 mm, joints made of black thread. Wales according to the instructions, wooden laths 2x3 and 2x2 mm added to the plating. I have created these using strips of 1.5 x 3 mm recessed in the second plating of walnut strips 0.5 x 3 mm. Pinning indicated using a needle. The model endeared our cat, it ended this way.. Ram repaired using putty and blue painting. Finished railings and decks before placing pins.

I am sorry. I saved the text in English, but I also had patches compiler, error ... Here is the original, can be adjusted..? thanks Ondras 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..
