Mobywon Posted November 3, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2015 Hi all I started this model early in 2010, and wiil herein post some photos of her construction along the way. Having perviously finished my first scratch built model of Confederacy, I decided that I wanted to further improve my carving skills and felt that RYC would be the perfect way to challenge myself. After drawing in Autocad the interpolated frames and keel from Chapman's drafts, I started construction of the half frame blanks as per the attached photos.

Mobywon Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted November 3, 2015 The framing started and progressed as shown, using a jig to hold the frames in position unitl I was able to add some internal planking for support and stability Mike 41, woodrat, tadheus and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbot Posted November 3, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 3, 2015 The Royal Caroline makes into a pretty model. I think you will have fun with the carving. I think I have a photo of her somewhere and will post it if I can find it.

I'm a fun of RC , i have one on my shelf waiting ....Surely I will follow along if you don't mind. As far as i can see, you did a great and difficult job on the framing.

Mobywon Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted November 3, 2015 I then paused to take on my biggest challenge, which was to carve the figurehead. I estimate that it took me a total of about 70 hours to complete the four major pieces of the group.
