Giulio Junco Posted March 22 Share #363 Posted March 22 I have been building the model of the HMS Unicorn 1748 frigate for many years. I attempted to reconstruct this model in 1:48 scale. There were no construction plans. There were very few elements for reconstruction. Fredrik Henrik af Chapman apparently took the plans from London and published the silhouette of the hull in his book. I started from there and with the help of the curator of the model collection in London, I redid the construction plans, but with some doubts. I'm well underway with construction. The thing that bothered me for a long time were the rigging systems on the bitts. (I also have sails) I found many ideas in your creation and I thank you for this. I have lots of questions to ask, but it would take a lot to write, so I'll do it little by little as needed, if you'll let me. The only question I ask now is: where did you find the little men you put on the ship. Congratulations for your ingenious and skillful work.

Blue Ensign Posted March 23 Author Share #364 Posted March 23 Thank you Giulio, apart from the Capt. included on the Quarterdeck of the finished model, the others were assembled from various bits of body parts from various sources, completed with modelling clay. The Capt. is a Mantua white metal figure. Some of the figures are too rough to include on a finished model but they serve as scale markers. B.E.
