gjdale Posted June 8, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2015 Harvey, My recollection (from reading AOTS notes (I think the drawings were slightly out from the notes) and I think the AOTS notes are supported by Longridge, though I'm away from home at the moment and can't check): Launch - 34ft Barge - 32ft Pinnace - 28ft Jolly Boat - 18ft Cutters (x2) - 25ft (these being the ones carried on the quarter davits and clinker planked). As for scaling, the math is fairly straight forward. If "X" is the actual size in feet, then to convert to mm at 1:98 scale: "X"ft x 12 (inches per foot) x 25.4 (mm per inch) / 98 or, more simply: "X" ft at 1:98 scale = "X" x 3.11 mm So: 34ft = 105.74mm 32ft = 99.52mm 28ft = 87.08mm 25ft = 77.75mm 18ft = 55.98mm Hope that is helpful. dafi, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted June 8, 2015 Hi Grant Thank you so so much for the help In the AOTS book On the quarter davits it shows sea cutters 2 @30ft, and on the skid beams it shows 34ft launch - 28ft pinnace - 32ft barge and 18ft cutter, but on the plan view of the ships boats I think the pinnace and cutter are the wrong way round! I think I have got my head around what i will do. In the book the quarter deck cutters go from the back stay channels to the fire buckets measure the distance on my ship and blow up the image until I get the right size. will let you know if this looks right. Thanks again for your time. Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjdale Posted June 9, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2015 Hi Harvey, Glad to have been of help. You're right about the drawings being the wrong way around in the AOTS book. I'm pretty certain that the Sea Cutters are 25ft though. Not sure of my source - I'm still away from home.
