I take all my courage and started with my bigest chalenge. I don't like the way Panart did the headrails. They use only shaped brass wire. I want to make them from wood. I started with shaping the main rails. I believe I'm very close to the "OK" fit but still some work to be done. 

 

First paper stencil:

Hello Peta_V

 

I also build the Royal Caroline and have constructed the rails in pear wood after the AotS of Ballabarba / Osculati. The railes are not 100% correct, but good for me. Here are some pictures of the building. First the plan of AotS.

Hi AVBiker, 

Your RC looks great! My rails are not according to the plans as hull and stem from Panart has different shape. I did not want to use the brass wire So I'm trying to create rails from wood. The shape is done to fit the model.

.              She is one perfect "royal gem'.  So much detail that makes her a beauty. Lovely build mate, top marks

Rails are done. They are not glued to the hull yet. Once attached and sanded all should be smooth.... I hope🤔

I was really afraid of this task but I have to admit that it was not that bad. I think the result looks good...... At least I am happy with it🤣

And now to one week off.......

In case anyone would be interested in seeing some photos from the start of the build I have managed (with admin of the web) to restore the thread Back from 2006 till now. IT is available here:

On the First and second Page There is still some problem with loading photos but from third Page it works OK.

Nice head rails Peta.V

.                                  with patience comes perfection. Sadly I know that the nearest I could get to rails like that if I needed them would be a 2d picture on paper, that's with a mirror image included. Oh well.

.          Great work
