  1. Hi Ray, Everything looks great. Shame to cover it up. Is there a way to leave some of it exposed by installing deck clamps and beams and partially planking the gangway and quarter deck above? Mort
  2. I would rig the ship and add the anchors as late as possible. Your build looks great. Mort
  3. I like your jig. I usually make coils as per Mastini in his book "Ship Modeling Simplified. Mort
  4. I bought my Diana kit about 6 years ago and I too have only 6 sheets of plans. Mort
  5. Welcome back I look forward to more of your posts. Your build log was fantastic. Mort
  6. All the best. Have a great day and many, many, more birthdays. Mort
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Hi Jason, Ment to ask, did you use a smaller block since you used smaller line to rig the tiller? Mort
  11. Hi Derek, I have been shaping masts and yards that same way for each of my models. It works fine. Mort
  12. Thanks Ray, I am going to check my copy AOS Diana. Keep up the great work, Mort
  13. Hiu Ray, Could have made a template from the plans to assist in cutting the gun ports? Mort
  14. Best to your wife. Glad to hear she is progressing. The build looks really good. Mort
