Omega1234 Posted October 10, 2015 Share #247 Posted October 10, 2015 Hi Dimitrus She's looking great, especially with the bowsprit and the figure and other gold decorative work added. Coming together rather nicely, I must say! I can also see from all the tiny detail work being painted, that there's still a long way to go, but at least it's enjoyable and satisfying.

NMBROOK Posted October 14, 2015 Share #258 Posted October 14, 2015 More great work and congratulations on your new model Dimitris My kit had been sat on the shelf for a few years when I got it,it came with both lime and balsa first planking,letting the builder decide.I tried the balsa route and sanded it off and used the lime instead.If you get a choice,I would recommend using the lime first planking,the balsa is more trouble than it is worth Kind Regards Nigel Omega1234 and Dimitris71 2 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit has no balsa inside, only lime wood and walnut . I have in mind to use lime as the first planking and then i will order pear strips for the 2nd. Also i will change the 0.5mm strips for the deck planking with 1mm strips. When i saw your RC,i was amazed by the warmth of the wood. Surely I will ask for your help regarding the treenailing of the hull (and maybe, for some other parts of the construction) .... a step by step guidance...lol :rolleyes: Also i have ordered the book "AOS for the Royal caroline".

NMBROOK Posted October 14, 2015 Share #260 Posted October 14, 2015 Hopefully Panart have realised what a bad idea the balsa was .The book is extremely useful as a guide to providing more detail,however some 'creative thinking' is required as the hull lines in the kit differ from the book. I spiled every plank from 1.5mm pear sheet on mine.Perhaps unnecessary,but I was concerned as the planks work out at 6mm wide.It did however take around a month of 60 hour weeks to plank . I look forward to following along and don't be afraid to ask,I am only too glad to help in anyway Kind Regards Nigel Omega1234 and Dimitris71 2 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgbot Posted October 15, 2015 Share #269 Posted October 15, 2015 I came upon your build and admire what you have done so far. After this the Royal Caroline will be a snap. Just an Idea. If you want to use pear for the second planking just fill in between the bulkheads and make it a solid hull then use the pear. Keep up the good work.
