Carpathia, JSC, 1:400

Started buildeng a ew model.
Lasercut framework makes the build so much easier and quicker. All parts fit perfectly. Glad I got into habit to read all the instructions and dry fit EVERYTIME before putting a glue on parts.
A good news is - lasercut framework is included in each model!!!
It's an integral part of each Carpathia model kit.
regards,
Kasia

Interesting choice Kasia, and a great start.

The laser cut framework certainly makes it look a lot easier!

And a great choice - for me anyway as I love the looks of the older liners. This one picked up Titanic survivors after the Titanic sunk.

Here's a nice picture of the ship from a Cunard Postcard of the time.



I love the sailing ship in the distance and the barrel floating around!

Great to see that you have another ship under construction, Kasia. I really like late 19th-early 20th century steamships, and this is a historic one.

Thanks for the information on building the laser-cut frames.

Don

Looks great Kaaia! I’m inspired to add it to my order in fact. I am very interested to hear your experience as I am quite new to this and learn by hearing people describe how they actually did it, or indeed describe how they dodged a problem.
I particularly like the fact it’s a JSC person actually building it, all the family owned business, so it’s quite authentic!!
Regards,
Alan

Thank you for your comments!
@Kevin - very nice postcard!
@Don Boose - I like them too. This one is a very nice little ship
@Herky - we've finnaly found the way to ship your order and hope you will get the delivery very soon
@Wyvern - thank you!
@Positive_Rate - I am sure you will be happy with this model. Lasercut parts make the model so much easier to build. So far - i haven't had any problems with the build. Everything that looks strange is just my lack of experience.

Today's update - lasercut deck supports. I can't even imagine cutting them out with a knife or scissors!!!

Funnel, hatch covers and masthouses. Glued and wrapped the funnel with some thread to keep it’s shape. It needs a time to dry out, so in the meantime I started on hatches and masthouses.
All the rigging that the funnel requires scares me a little I must admit. Well, “I’ll think about it tomorrow” as Scarlet O’hara says. For now working around the funnel as much as I can

Hi Kasia,
Ok, I’m relieved to hear your comment about the funnel, will be interested to see how you manage it. Maybe one of our fellow modellers will part with a few closely kept secrets for our mutual benefit?!

I find with these things there’s a certain ‘knack’ or ‘trick’ to it, then suddenly there’s a lot no mystery (well, less!)

Some years ago I competed the Revell ‘Thermopylae’ it’s just like Cutty Sark. Got the hull, masts and spars are thought to myself ‘job nearly done’. Had a look at the rigging diagram and did the first couple of lines. That was the ‘aha’ moment. It was such a spiders web of running rigging (brown) and standing rigging (black) that I had to think carefully about the order I did each one so it didn’t restrict access to the next one, but didn’t over-tension the the whole rig one way or another and bend the masts or spars.

Now I am working on your very own JSC 1:250 SOLDEK. I wanted to fit 2 lines to the derricks although I'm sure the kit only says 1:
a) ‘cargo runner’ [lifts the actual cargo hook and goes from the winch to the base then to the head of the derrick]; and also a
b) ‘topping lift’ [lifts the head of each of the 8 derricks over the spot where you want the hook].
Since the cargo runner runs under the derrick suspended between a block either end, it wouldn't be seen if I don't install them so I made miniscule square 'blocks' and put them on the derrick.
I did one of the eight derricks and now I stopped cause I need to be in a certain frame of mind to do it and I need a break!

As if this isn't enough, I then need to fit the standing rigging for the masts. I have an idea here. Each of the cargo masts has no less than 8 stays. But they are paired. So, to help me I have taken lengths of string, cut it and joined them into pairs at one end using Cyano. When dry the joined pair are rigid and thicker. I can poke a miniscule hole in the deck where I want that pair to be secured and the rigid string helps a lot. Similarly, lines paired at the crosstrees are joined onto the masts.

Regards,
Alan
