Jparsley got a reaction from Canute in right size davits and life boats
see that's the problem in am having Mark. there just isn't any good references to the 1797 build all the draft designs are destroyed and only a few letters here and there describing its build are left. there really isn't any tangible information of how she was originally built and outfitted. I would love to have her look as close to her original build but alas I don't think I will be able to do that. I don't really want a hybrid but I think I am stuck with it. there are a lot of people on here a lot more familiar with her history but I just don't have the knowledge back ground. I've read several books that mention her history and what she did while in service but nothing that helps with the look of her. I think the next build I do will be a more documented ship and not one from someone's gestamated design. in a lot of ways I am more of a realist when it comes to projects.

Jparsley got a reaction from Piet in Licorne 1755 by mtaylor - 3/16" scale - French Frigate - from Hahn plans - Version 2.0 - TERMINATED
Mark I think she is taking shape well Not sure what the original looks like but everything seems to have smooth and sleek lines the way you brought those around the stern without buckling is a feat all in itself great job

Thanks guys for the comments slow going as of late but trying to improve on what I've built I could use all the suggestions you could give. Having some issues building the railings (top rails). The wood isn't wanting to keep shape. I've used supper hot water, bending iron and a lot of hand pressure. After getting it in shape it tends to straighten out as it dries even glued down I noticed after a few hours it has stretched the glue and lost its bend. Kind of irritating. Oh well. Guess ill just keep after it. I'm thinking my next effort will be to build the front supports off the bow. Not too sure what its called looks like a cage. if anyone has any suggestions as im building please tell.

Ok Let's see I decided to go with the pseudo tree nailing look on my upper decks Used a very sharp pencil to make little indented marks Think she looks a little better this way She's not perfect but learning as I go
