DORIS Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share #572 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Dear friends,I warmly thank you for your praise and all comments, I am honoured a lot and appreciate your kind words. Doris I have made cleats before and they look ok until I blow them up. But yours look real even under the unforgiving eye of the camera. Well, these cleats are my newest and I spent plenty of time searching suitable way, how to make them. I have to admit that my first cleats were not very good. Wonderful railings and cleats! What wood did you use for the cleats? That's a walnut-tree wood. I like this kind of wood, it has a nice colour and it is quite easy to machined it. And now what's new on Royal Caroline... There are finished all cleats and now I am working on channels and deadeyes - they are made on CNC lathe (not my own - I purchased them here: http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/list-of-kits-and-accessories/accessory---blocks ), but it is necessary to improve the deadeyes for more realistic appearance and better looking surface. Here are some pics, please enjoy them: All channels were glued onto wooden beams - one of them is highlighted with red spots on first picture below. These beams were embed into the hull and secured with glue. I tested the durability and bond strength and it proved to be a very good solution at card models.

DORIS Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share #580 Posted March 11, 2014 Hello dear friends and warmly thank you for all your comments and praise. Your words mean a lot for me and I am pleased very much. Really astounding work. I think the crew is about to move. I hope you case it soon. S.os Well, the crew is interested mainly in the bottles with delicious drinks inside the cabins. I have to watch them not to be drunk. Maybe during the nights, when I sleep, they have a party on board..... because sometimes some of them fall over during the model construction.
