I am wanting to build a scratch built ship and woul like to know how to determine the correct number of frames I would need to make. I have the sheer half bredth and body plans but I know that those will not be enough as I would like to leave one side so I could show the interior of the ship. I am new to this form but havebeen building ship for a fe years mostly POB and kits. Woulld like to build the next one like it was orginally build any help with drawing the frames and determining how many would be a great help. Thank you.

I have the model shipways kit of the Fair american. I would like to build it as a plank on frame instead of a POB. I would also like to show some of the interior of the ship. I have been researching different ship; techniques; sites ;books and the like. I built this ship many years ago as a POB and it turned out fairly well. I am also wanting to know how one would use the sheer and profile plans to increase the number of frames along the keel. I know that the main frames go from the perpendiculars thes the bow are cant frames I like 17th18th century warship mostly however i also like other ships like junks viking and other unusual ships.
The drawings do show the station lines but no room and space. I am trying to learn how to draw the hull frames using the sheer profile and halfbrethd drwaings. I know that it would be alot of work to build a miodel the way the real ship was built ,however,I think it would be worth the effort. I appreciate all of your thoughts.
