Frederica Posted September 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2013 Hi to all, I am starting to build Royal Caroline by Panart. Some photos of the kit's contents. Frederica Sjors and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederica Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted September 21, 2013 I made the rabbet and bearding line using a craft knife and a chisel for the digging out. I built a construction using metal brackets to keep the keel straight and steady when all the parts which form the basis of the ship are stuck. I dry fitted the bulkheads and supports for the keel in order to check out their fit.

Sjors Posted September 24, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 24, 2013 Here I'm Frederica. I see that there is a seat available next to Anja. So I take my place and will watch how it is going on . Looks a nice vessel. And beginning is good so I'll think the finish also. Enjoy !

Frederica Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted September 25, 2013 Hi Sjors, Make yourself comfortable next to Anjia I am quite busy these days but I always find a little time to devote to the beautiful Royal Caroline. Hi Richard, Thank you. I like her very much too. Frederica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederica Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share #14 Posted September 25, 2013 Next comes bulkhead number ten on which parts number 18 must be glued before the bulkhead itself is glued in place. I placed parts number 18 one by one and using a modeler's angle in order to get the angles right I glued them in their place. Our two friends. Tame, hand fed cockatiels which usually fly freely around the house most of the day and very often like landing on our heads.

Sjors Posted September 26, 2013 Share #16 Posted September 26, 2013 Frederica, Maybe those birds can help you with the tiny stuff???? My modellers angles are a little bit bigger.

Frederica Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Ian, Don't worry about Vasileios. He has enough room to work on his Victory. Hi Sjors, The only thing the birds can do is chew up all the small parts. That is why they are not usually allowed in the workshop. Frederica Hi all, I started placing the bulkheads. The keel supports and deck supports have been glued in place. Frederica mobbsie, cristikc, WackoWolf and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted September 29, 2013 Share #18 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Frederica, Very nice. Are you planking that deck and there is an others deck coming on top of it? Or you don't see that lower deck anymore ?

mobbsie Posted September 29, 2013 Share #19 Posted September 29, 2013 Good Morning Frederica, You are off to a flying start and she's looking good even in this early stage. Mate of mine had a couple of love birds who had free reign of the house, little devils chewed all his papers up so mind your plans and little bits. :angry: You could teach a few others in this forum about keeping the workspace tidy, I hate an untidy space. Going to follow your build if you don't mind, I'll sit behind Sjors and try to keep him in check and make sure he doesn't drop popcorn all over the place. Keep up this excellent work, and be warned Sjors demands pictures. mobbsie riverboat 1 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederica Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Sjors, They are keel supports and will not be planked. There are another 4 decks that will go on top and will be visible so they will be planked. Hi Mobbsie, As I said, my birds are not allowed in the workshop. If I let them in I know they will chew on everything they find. Keeping the workspace tidy is not so difficult. Before taking photos just drop everything on the floor It's so simple. Thanks for following my build and keeping Sjors in check. We don't want popcorn all over the place because then the birds will go mad to come in.

rfolsom Posted October 6, 2013 Share #21 Posted October 6, 2013 Hello; You can see how my birds (they were in their cage, which once sat upon my workbench) reworked the port stern filler block... Luckily the deck and stern planking covered this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-E Posted October 6, 2013 Share #22 Posted October 6, 2013 Hi Frederica You are making good progress on the build she is looking great. I agree with you I think pets of any kind and models don't usually mix well Quote Cheers Jeff Current Builds; HMS Supply Completed Builds; AL Swift 1805; Colonial Sloop Norfolk; HMS Victory Bow Section; HM Schooner Pickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederica Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted October 22, 2013 Hello rfolsom You were quite fortunate that the planking covered the damage done by your birds. Birds always love pecking on wood. Hi Jeff Thank you and yes, you are quite right. Pets and models do not mix well. That is the reason why my pets are never allowed in the workshop unless they are supervised. Even then it will only be a short visit. In and out within a few minutes. Frederica Hi all, I had to place an additional piece of wood on part 2A so that the fore deck would sit in the correct position. I have started the first planking I placed the garboard plank. For reasons of ease I used a plank which is wider that the ones supplied in the kit. The first planking has almost finished with just a few planks remaining to be placed at the top part and also the formation of the rounded shape of the stern.

Ulises Victoria Posted October 22, 2013 Share #26 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Hello Federica. I missed your previous post and the start of your build. May I offer a late welcome to the wonderful world of ship building. You are doing a terrific job with your R.C. I will be following your build with interest. Your planking job looks so neat and clean. Its good you don't allow your pets in your work shop... you don't want them trying to land on your rigging lines, when you get to that stage. Edited October 22, 2013 by Ulises Victoria Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina.
