Welcome aboard Joe! Greetings from STS2(SS) Guy Mengel. I was in Navy from 1974->1980 on Fast Attack Subs (SSN 649) in pic.. and then on tiger teams. You are way down southwest in VA.. Coal and good OT music! I hope you enjoy the site. I have indeed. I am working on a outer banks fishing ship (I will put a log up when I am a bit further along) is a fully POF model.. lofting frames just now.. Welcome aboard! (PS.. most here are in the Goat locker (age wise)). It would be difficult for me to get down the ladder to the diesel room (for quiet) these days.. Best! Guy

Hi Chapman, Yes you are correct. I don't want to cause any confusion but this link shows the HMS Orestes ex dutch I should have caught this. The RMG site is so so very hard to navigate and sometimes searches just disappear and the search results are just plain wrong. Thanks for the note on the Musquidobit from Admiral Paris (online).. I will search for the link. But so far no success. I had not heard of these plans before. I will fix the original post. I have not been feeling well, thus have not posted. apologies. Guy

Good day. I am starting the POF build of the 1816 Musquidobit. Tons burthen 22392⁄94 (bm) Length 97 ft 7 in (29.7 m) (overall); 73 ft 1+1⁄4 in (22.3 m) (keel) Beam 24 ft 0 in (7.3 m) Depth of hold 10 ft 3 in (3.1 m) Propulsion Sail Complement Lynx: 40 Musquidobit: 50 Armament Lynx: 6 x 12-pounder guns Musquidobit: 8 x 18-pounder carronades + 2 x 6-pounder guns The Drawings are ZAZ6139 Lines https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-85930 ZAZ6140 upper and lower decks https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-85931 The lines drawing ZAZ6139 at RMG is slightly damaged now. I have attached an image. My line drawing gotten from RMG years ago is not damaged. (attached) I also received 2 nice copies from a friend on MSW of both the lines and decks. Notes: I will be manually drafting the frames and re-drawing lines. Reason, manually drawing helps the brain heal and develop new connections. I had 2 right cerebral strokes. Some initial discussions were held here: Lynx-Musquidobit-construction methods Set up frames per discussion and learn. This will take me a bit of time. I will use my camera to share the drawings with you as well as any manually drawn things to understand how this was done. I will be updating this with some historic information too. I live just off the upper Rappahannock river where lower down where the US Lynx was captured. MAP Thanks to all (especially friends made here) PS. If things seem a bit terse. Please bear with me. Guy

Hi Pete, A technical question and I think one of a lot of discussion. I have all the plans and am starting to understand how to lay out my frames ( I am going to build a framed model, or try to do so). There is ~ a 2 deg drag in the boat. It is drawn with stations (and looks to be frames ) perpendicular to the water line. From this I am thinking that the frames are set perpendicular to the water line and not the frame. At least that is what I am thinking I see. I have all of Mr. Cothers books and am going to frame according to it. There is a large section on frames and keels. I am thinking to put the frames in perpendicular to the water line and not the keel. Is my thinking correct? Thanks for all your help! Guy

Hi USS Frolick, What a nice first read. I will need to get the CD with the articles stated. I will do this in a month or so, due to a somewhat limited funding.. heh.. Thanks for the article again! Off to Cad. Guy -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
