marsalv Posted June 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2014 I decided to start work on another model (work on Royal Caroline have reached the stage where it can be easily done at home in the autumn and winter months). The choice fell on Pandora. It is my first real scratch build (POB) according to plans from the book Anatomy of the Ship. The first phase of construction was making a plan of the bulkheads and the keel using TurboCad.

marsalv Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted June 17, 2014 The bulkheads and the inner the keel is made of plywood, the outer part of the keel will be made of pear wood. Thanks to the large number of bulkheads (26 pcs) and small gaps between will be done only one planking. sparrow, Mike Y, Wishmaster and 23 others 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyUK Posted June 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 18, 2014 Hi Marsalv. You have made a excellent start on the Pandora. Using TurboCad has done wonders for the designing of your ship. Your bulkheads are looking spot on stacked like that. . I will be pulling up my chair and iPad and following you along with this build. All the best. Regards Antony.

marsalv Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted June 19, 2014 Hi Antony, thank you for your compliment . I continue with the production of external keel. It is made of individual parts which are glued together. Mike Y, WBlakeny, Aussie048 and 26 others 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey1847 Posted June 26, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 26, 2014 Hello Marsalv! With all those bulkheads glued to the false keel and the excellent keel and stem looks like a "mix" between POB and POF way of construction!! Excellent clean and neat work! Keep going!

Omega1234 Posted July 13, 2014 Share #13 Posted July 13, 2014 Hi Marslav Looks great! Pandora has one of the most beautiful looking hulls of any ship of her time (in my opinion); complete with beautiful, gracefull hull lines and a sweet profile. I've also built a miniature dockyard model of Pandora (see photos in the Gallery) from the Anatomy of the Ship series, so I have no doubt you're going to really enjoy this build. Look forward to following along. All the best. wyz and daHeld 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMBROOK Posted August 31, 2014 Share #28 Posted August 31, 2014 Fabulous work Marsalv I do like that you have fitted so many bulkheads,much better for planking than the handful on Caroline I do agree with Mark,it would be a shame to cover that great woodwork with paint.

marsalv Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share #30 Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks everyone for the feedback regarding painting. I still have enough time for a final decision. I soon interrupt work on Pandora and start finishing Royal Caroline. I make now only minor works from this reason - preparation of deck beams and deck planks. druxey, NMBROOK, Wishmaster and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
