  1. Hi guys, I agree with you. There must have been quite a few different configurations as there were so many of this class built. Has anyone given any thought to swivel guns? Thanks, Mort
  2. Hi Christian, Love your build. The stern looks great as does the rest of the hull. Great idea to include the flag lockers. Have you thought about including swivel guns on the hull or the tops? Check pages 76-79 of "The Sailing Frigate" by Robert Gardener. There is a side view of the figureheads of 2 Artois Class frigates in the NMM one of which is believed to be the Diana. One figurehead looks partially painted - the top half of the Diana's - the other seems to be unpainted. All of the pictures are in color. Keep up the great work, Mort
  3. The lamp looks great. I plan on adding a lamp on my Diana when I finally build her. I bought some from Cornwall Model Boats. Would she have also had a lamp on her mizzen top? Mort
  4. Hi Jason, Ment to ask, did you use a smaller block since you used smaller line to rig the tiller? Mort
  5. Hi Derek, I have been shaping masts and yards that same way for each of my models. It works fine. Mort
  6. Thanks Ray, I am going to check my copy AOS Diana. Keep up the great work, Mort
  7. Hiu Ray, Could have made a template from the plans to assist in cutting the gun ports? Mort
  8. Best to your wife. Glad to hear she is progressing. The build looks really good. Mort
  9. I do not care what the real thing looks like. The model is nicer. Mort
  10. Hi Jerry, Thanks for the offer, I am sure I will take you up on it. I am a few years away from my own Victory. I am building the Snake and hope to build the Diana before going on to the Victory. In the mean time I am monitoring all of the Victory builds and taking lots of notes. Mort
  11. No problem Jerry. I appreciate the picture. I am going to need that tool when I build my Victory and your pix and Sids will be a great help when the time comes to make my own. Thanks, Mort
  12. You are doing a great job. Keep those updates coming. One question, what size were the fish hooks you used for the gunports? Thanks, Mort
