HMS Bellona by Frecap - Corel

[Frecap]

Hello everyone I bought a Bellona set from Corel for the occasion. The previous owner started assembling the ship, but apparently quickly came to the conclusion that it was not just necessary to assemble ready-made parts to make a beautiful model. The enthusiasm ended at the stage of assembling the frame with several slats of the first skin belt glued to it. I am also not an expert in ship modeling. But I have some skills, and I hope that I will build this model anyway. Why Bellona? As I said, on occasion. Specifically, the price turned out to be too attractive compared to the price of the set from the store. Besides, I looked at a lot of options, the sailboats are all beautiful, but for some reason it was the Bellona that caught my eye with its appearance. Having already started to assemble the model, I began to search for information about similar projects on the Internet in various forums. As it turned out, there are quite a lot of them, as well as various information about this ship. Of course, I will use all this information in my work. So, I'm getting started.

The person from whom I got the model started gluing the first layer of the cladding incorrectly, so I tore off all the slats. I decided not to disassemble the frame, just glued all the joints, removed the small ones where necessary, and started the first layer of cladding again.
