ROYAL CAROLINE 1749 by Doris - 1:40 - CARD
Mirabell61 replied to DORIS's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Doris, your work is candy for eyes and Soul and causes admiration pure. One sits back in a comfortable chair and breaths in the pics whilst the atmosphere provided by the art, arrangement, figures, furniture, etc. creates the wish in ones mind to take walk on board, in a Long back laying century.

Beautifull Model Richard, I like these classic lines so much that I decided many years ago to scratchbuild the Endeavor and make her raedy for RC control. So into the lowest keelportion was integrated appr. 3KG lead (non removeable)as deadweight. The model was very Long and although it was a lightweight hull contruction, Balsa diagonal stripes on ply Frames, and coated with glass rowing Cloth and sealed with epoxy Raison it was very heavy because of the lead. Halfway completed and with lateral-testing in water, I found it would take even more lead to compensate and withstand the windpressure on the high mast ans sail. The model was too heavy now to have fun in handling the whole Thing, so it went into the dark Basement and out of the mind. After moving homes for 2 or 3 times I decided to sell the hull, and so someone else may complete it or not. As you are building a stand model, that sure should have been my decision as well in the beginning. Wish you very much pleasure in finalizing your wonderfull model, and shall follow your further build with pleasure Nils

Good work Richard ! looking at the fine and neat structural planking, why are you aiming for a second planking at all? I like the lines of your Brigg Mercury The kit seems to be a good choise, what one can see so far cheers Nils

Is coming on very nicely Puckotred, Looks like the kit provides good Fitting lasered parts Are you intending to do an (RC) float- or a stand model? Nils
-
Hi Puckotred till now I was not Aware that there is a Bohuslän kit (and even in 1:45 !!)on the market again, thanks for sharing the News, and hopefully for your build-log to start with the keellaying soon. Shall Keep tuned .... Long time ago I built Buhuslän from the former Billing Boats kit in 1:50 scale, which disappeared many years ago from the market. If you are interested you can see my finished kit Model in the Gallery. Cheers Nils

Hi Doug, If you wish, have a look into my (mirabell61) build-log for "HMS Pegasus" swan class... cheers, Nils

Hi Michael, your rigging and all the Fitting out and the choise of materials and their dimensions provide the confedence that this cutter could be magnified to actual size and sailed in a good breeze with filled red gaff sails and humming stays..... Beautifull build Michael I like it Nils

How to sew sails on your wifes sewing machine
Mirabell61 replied to Mirabell61's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Kimberley, the cord Comes in 50m lenth on wooden spools in either 0,3mm thickness or 0,5mm thickness. I found These at Ebay, but probably you can find them when Google-ing up "Diamantlitze", or on enclosed Web link http://www.rc-toy.de/1390+-+Graupner+Diamantlitze.htm The pics enclosed Show you what I meant relating to fastening Point above resp. underneath decks. I remember that the plastic model hulls usually come in two halves, glued together with the decks carefully fitted in place before, unfortunately not allowing Access to the deck underneath afterwards. If you require a sturdy stresstaking basepoint you shall have to treat your deck before it is permanently glued in. One pic Shows (still without ratlines) the spanners in the upper shroud cores (the smallest spanners I know of in brass are fitted with M1 left and righthand thread and spanned by the common sleeve on the two spindles. all this probably will not be of much help when rigging smaller plastic models, but I asume in case of someone rigging up a Clipper or other tallship in plastic could be considered in order to avoid slacking loose lines Nils
