FYI, Jay Brent has several other U tubes that are pretty good in showing and explaining other details about the rigging process. Sort concise and to the point. Highly recommended.

Check out this U tube video.

Welcome to MSW. Where in AZ are you?

I think Caldercraft sells a 1/64 scale copper plate that is etched (no dimples) in sheet form. You may also want to check out Bluejacket.

Wow and welcome.

Welcome to MSW.

Nice job!

Wow thanks fellows. In a way that was the way my thinking was going. I plan to using a cloth tape measure. Measure stem to stern at the waterline. Measure midship waterline to keel to stern and stem. Times two. That should give me a rough square inch amount to work with. Caldercraft sells a 1/64 scale copper plate that is etched (no dimples) in sheet form. I'll find out how many square inches a sheet covers and work from there. Probably not cheap but I do not like the look or working with foil.
As always thanks for the help timely response and knowledge sharing.

Hi, I think I want to copper the hull for the Prince De Neufchatel which comes without copper. How do you go about measuring the hull to determine how much is needed? I'm sure there is a formula for this. 
Thanks

I'd like to watch this build Jeff, I'm pulling up a seat.

Thanks both of you for your information and DrPR for your valued research. 

Hello all,

I need help in finding out the bulwark color for American privateers built around 1811-1815.  I've seen deep red and green used on the Price De Neufchatel. I've looked at the Smithsonian's on line model image of PDN and can't make out the bulwark color. Is either correct or just builder's choice. Any help is appreciated.

If you haven't down load the Alert construction manual on the Vanguard site. It it give you a great overview of the project and what to expect. Good luck.

Thanks Glen, just checked out the log, great build...but beyond my available space and skill.

Hi Glen, what is the finished size of the Kingfisher and is it cherry wood?
Thanks,

Very nice job!

👍

I'm here!

I'm going to watch this one.
