Helmar You might want to get "The Gaff Rig Handbook" by John Leather. You can usually find a second hand copy at a decent price. It will give you a lot of information on rigging.

After a further shipyard layoff I return once again to building. I had now drawn all the frame templates. Some will be solid frames but most will have internal cut outs to facilitate below deck detailing. by way of example here is frame 37. At points A and B i will drill 6mm holes to take silver steel alignment rods to me used during assembly of the skeleton. At point B is a further alignment slot to locate the frame on the building board. At C is the cut line for the upper edge of the deck beam. The cut will be made as far as the centre line lug, leaving only the lug to be cut through to release the building board up-stand. D is the level of the top of the bulwark. E is the slot for the keel. G is the level of the interior deck (In the case of frame 37 this is the engine room floor level). H is the datum surface for mounting on building board. You might recall from earlier that I am only using half the frames that appear on the original. The spacing at model scale is 1.5" or 3 feet at full size. I have included all the frame cutting templates for those who might want to build Cangarda in future.

Good progress Pat. The brass work looks very good. I enjoyed catching up, thank you. The bending jig for PE looks like quite an easy workshop project.- 973 replies

The hull is looking excellent John. Are you planning to do a log on your restoration project?
-
Superb work as ever. loved the anchor buoys and the rails. The images of the gun emplacement are wonderful. You ended your summer break much sooner than I.

My you have been busy Nils. I love the way you press every day objects into service - i.e the vent cowls. Well done.

Wonderful project Andy. It will be a pleasure to watch the model come to life.

On 13 May I commented "i can start generating the hull transverse sections corresponding to the frames on Cangarda". Somehow we are now at the the last day of August and I have just completed the task. My productivity is sadly lacking, Cangarda has frames on a 18" pitch or 3/4" at model scale. The pitch is a bit over the top for model purposes so I plan to make every 2nd frame giving a frame spacing of 1.5". I have kept the numbering as per the plans supplied by Tr1-Costal Marine so every second section is missing. I took a lot of care with plotting (using the pencil, dividers and french curve method). I then spent some time reviewing the nested section to identify and obvious glitches. Generally the nested lines seem to have turned out reasonably well. I have included all the drawings as PDF files in the event that others want to have a go at building Cangarda. Full frames 01 to 35.pdf Full frames 01 to 37 to 39.pdf Full frames 41 to 45.pdf Full frames 47 to 61.pdf Full frames 63 to 81.pdf

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
