ppddry got a reaction from KORTES in HMS Pandora 1779 in 3D
It has been a long time since the last time I visited this website, check the messages (I am very sorry that I did not check them and reply earlier), or updated the model. A lot of things happened over these years, and I had much less time to indulge myself in my hobby than before.
I made small progress on the model over the years, but still far from completion. As can be seem from the attached pictures, the beakhead and bowsprit are completed, with their standing rigging in place. The 6-pr guns are also placed at their ports.

Hi Tim, will the following pictures be of any help?

Hi Daniel,
Sorry for the VERY late reply . The process is as follows: firstly the 2D drawings of the frames are imported on to different reference plans in Solidworks, then draw the boundary of the hull surface with the help of other imported 2D drawing curves, finally use the boundary surface feature in Solidworks to construct the hull surface guided by the curves. As can be seem from the pictures below. And Yes, a set of 2D drawings can be generated from the 3D model.
Best regards,
Jingyang

2011-06-15: main wale
2011-06-15: shape of the external planking
The frames can be seen by setting the external planking transparent!
2011-06-16: Cutting the bottom planking into individual planks.
2011-06-17: Finished cutting the bottom planking.
2011-06-18: The main wale was also cut into individual pieces.

2011-02-26: details of the chains and deadeyes
2011-02-28: HALF-BREADTH PLAN added - keel assembly, main half breadth, toptimber half breadth, top side half breadth, half breadth of the rising line, projections of the diagonals
2011-03-02: BODY PLAN added. A set of lines for the inner surface of the frames are also drawn but not shown in this figure.
2011-03-04: water lines, cant frames, fashion piece, hawse pieces, transoms, inner post, apron, keelson, first thick limber strake next the limbers
2011-03-05: deadwood knee, disposition of the frames
2011-03-08: disposition of the square frames
The 3D build began from this point!

Hi Mark,
That's a good point! I think I will dig deeper on this. Thank you for pointing it out.
There is another inaccuracy you may notice is that the gammoning loops are not arranged correctly. I tried to draw them in the correct way but the results always look awkward. So I drew them as they are now.
Best regards,

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much to pointing out the inaccuracy! The following picture shows the standard as of now. It seems that I need to modify it further. Also, do you mean the two light blue edges should be rounded near the stem post but remain sharp near their front end?
Best regards,
Jingyang

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your explanation! I deliberated on this very issue during the build.
I read Ed Tosti and David Antscherl's books and was aware of that they shew different configurations for the knee of the head. But since they are of different classes of ships and I did not have the contemporary plans showing the construction of the knee of the head of the Porcupine class of ships, I decided to just follow the plans in the Anatomy of the Ship book. I think I will have to do more research into the contemporary sources before I can further revise this part.
As for the rounding at the front of the knee of the head, I have been trying to maximize it while keeping the width at the top of the timber marked as 5 in plan B2/2 in the AOS book the same as the width of the front face of the timber marked as 1 in the same plan.
Best regards,
Jingyang

Hi Experiment,
Yes, it is done from the cross sections in the book, corrected with the scantlings of the frames listed in The Shipbuilder's Repository. I just sent an reply to your PM.
Best regards,

2013-03-10&11: waist rails, sheer rails, drift rails, fife rails, plank sheers, cutting the external planking above the main wale into individual pieces
This is the progress up to now. Enjoy!
