  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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..
