I have numbered the frames so that we can discuss the correct frame I think that: frame 17, 18, 19, 20 = frame 3 on the drawings frame 21 = frame 2 on the drawings frame 22 = frame 1 on the drawings frame 23 = frame 0 on the drawings frame 24,25 = frame A on the drawings what do you think ( the forum) ?

Druxey : dead flat = the biggest frame, google give not a good translate. I find it a good question of Mau wich numbers next to 0. where must come frame 1 and 2, wich side of the zero. I numberd the frames, but what with frame 18 to 25. ???

I don't think that druxey has a problem with this. Going to find out to forward his mesages to you

Thank you, now I know why my calculations would not add up, was already starting to doubt my own brains.

Firstly, I would like to thank you "Druxey" for forwarding me the missing Frame.(one problem less) thank you very much !! Second I want to thank you, with the quote "converting measurements from duodecimal to metric and then dividing by 48" Last year I took classes in Belgium to understand Ancre's monographs. The teacher gave these documents as an extra, never thought I would use them, but they are now very useful. Thank you very much again !

I copied this from Mike (Stuntflyer) topic The Hayling Hoy He tapered the aft end from 12" to 10". the rabbit is 2 1/2" deep I think that " means something else.

I have a little question? As a European, I am used to working with the metric system. These plans are drawn in the English / American system and use inches, feet, etc. On the plans for the width of the frames I see dimensions in inches (I suspect) I am supposed to do these values each time multiply by 2.54cm and then convert them to a scale of 1/48 Or am I wrong? Why am I asking this, my calculations don't match what I'm measuring on the plan Example:

I hope that this is better

My new project, do not expect long texts because I don't like to write and my englisch is bad, but through this way I still want to let other woodbuilders enjoy my work, just as I enjoy their work on this forum. Why this ship This ship would be ideal as a beginnersboat to make a full frame without having to make 100 gunports and 3 identical decks. Everything that is present in a large ship is also reflected in this boat. (Except armament) A good exercise if we plan to build a larger ship. Furthermore, this has the advantage that this is a project of 2 years, while a large ship is quickly a multiple of this time. Let's start. After waiting for 2 months, a package finally arrived in the letterbox from America this week. After opening the package this came out: A complete building description in book form 3 plans by The Hayling Hoy Advertisement And a correction because a frame would have been omitted from the plans. The book looks decent with beautiful color photos, but saddly (from belgium) the plans are not drawn up in the metric system but in inches, feets etc. A bigger disappointment, the paper with the missing frame. A mistake has happened here somewhere because the supposedly omitted frame is on the plans. What I do miss is frame AC5 In place of AC5 is frame 7, and instead of sending me AC5, they send me frame fc7 again. I don't know yet how to solve this? Does anyone has this frame? Now the study of this ship is starting, do not know yet whether I will make it in steamed or plain pear wood. Time will tell.

and a last question : brass casting, how do you do that?? I never seen this before. Do you have a tutorial ???

Johann, another question : where did you commissioned the etched parts. (I am from Belgium) regards Luc

beautiful work johann, and thank you for showing your work , i learned a lott After reading you work, i have still a question. After you used birchwood for making the brass parts black, do you use a glue (like CA) for attaching them definitly into the wood. regards Luc

Very nice indeed, are you still using walnut wood for nailing, and what's the thickness?

very nice done

thank you Greg the progress of the last month. finishing the first planking and putting the lines on the hull so i can check of everything is still ok. On my stern there is a different of a few millmeters. In the kit the frames are 6mm thick , i used +/- 9mm. this give a mistake of 1.5mm, not much , but to much for the basic to build on.

Friday the wood arrived so i can begin the first planking. Swiss pear from Arkowood.

very nice done ,Jerry

KeithW : The Santisima trinidad was painted with humbrol paint. Now I want to really just plain wood. Vic built his ship also with pear, therefore this choice. What would you use ?? ps: the pear would by painted with G4 , a colorless varnish. Pete: Found you resourcefile a time ago. Becaus i build this ship Rc, my approce of the building is differnt. My next step is the first planking and the rudder and to make everything rechabel and functionel. Once this is don, I need your resourcefile much more.

Thank you Simon, found it. I know i had seen it somewhere a time ago, didn't found it again. thx Luc

Because i want to build this boat in swiss pear (from arkowood) . It's now time to find out how much wood i need and wich dimensions. I'm searching for a list of the wood that in the box of euromodel, but i can't find nothing. Is there a link of these list ??? thx Luc

A few photos of the work I did the past week('s). Because my english is not very good, even bad, i post pictures instead of text. the end result bow stern Top (u see the holes for the frontmast and bowsprit) Everthing must be maked strong for sailing and transport the ship) My newst tool for copy hights from the plan onto the ship

thx Keith, also following your topic as a guidline.

After finishing the santisima trinidad (07/2013) it was time for a new adventure. HMS Royal William From Wikipedia and buildlog of KeithW HMS Prince was rebuilt by Robert Lee at Chatham Dockyard in 1692, and renamed at the same time as HMS Royal William. During the War of the Grand Alliance the ship saw action at the Battle of Barfleur of 19 May 1692. The Prince belonged to the red squadron and carried the flag of Rear Admiral of the Red Sir Cloudesley Shovell. She was the first ship to break the French line during the battle. Later she was rebuilt for a second time by John Naish at Portsmouth Dockyard from 1714, relaunching on 3 September 1719. She was laid up after her re-launch and saw no service at all until she was reduced to an 84-gun Second rate ship in 1756. One year later, she was part of an unsuccessful expedition against Rochefort led by Admiral Sir Edward Hawke. Her squadron, under Vice-Admiral Charles Knowles, attacked the Île-d'Aix and forced her garrison to surrender. In 1758 she participated in Boscawen's and Wolfe's attack on the French Fortress of Louisbourg (Nova Scotia) and an indecisive skirmish with a French squadron. The following year the Royal William returned to Canada under the command of Captain Hugh Pigot to join the attack on Quebec. After the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the capture of Quebec she sailed back to England with the body of General Wolfe. In 1760 the Royal William was Boscawen's flagship when he took command of the fleet in Quiberon Bay. However, after a severe gale he was forced to return and shift his flag to the Namur. During the expedition against Belle Île of 1761 she was detached with several other ships to cruise off Brest and prevent a French counter-attack from there. The Seven Years' War seems to be the last time that the Royal William played an active role. She was broken up in 1813.

From Wikipedia and buildlog of KeithW I 'd seen Vic his Royal William on the forum Rcgroups, and the build was so wonderful that i knew that i must build this ship also. After a dip in building boats over more then 1 year, i started the last month with the Royal William. I used plywood 10mm for the false keel and the frames. Behind the false keel was another boatbuild that failed. A swedisch privateer. Must remove the plans.

Hoi Vic, Searching for information about the royal William, this topic shows up. Beautiful work as always. Luc (santisma Trinidad rc)
