Greetings marsalv. Your HMS Pandora is beautiful, I wish her at least as good results in international competitions as your Royal Caroline had. -

Hi my friends,
After a long period of silence I want to restart. I hope to be able to continue.
With a small accident while moving to my new address...

Rudder equipped with chains

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.

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.

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..
