Welcome! I have not built the dory, but the beveling is called spiling and is to allow the planks to fit together flush.

James, Artesania Latina just released a kit of the Victory with a full interior: https://artesanialatina.net/en/ships-elite/62518-wooden-ship-model-anatomy-of-english-vessel-hms-victory-1-84-8421426204032.html It looks like it would build to about 4 feet long. That would be an excellent introduction to building a first-rate with a complete interior.

Very neat idea! A full cutaway of the Victory would be very impressive. There have been many discussions lately about a first rate with a full interior, so there is definitely interest. Looking forward to seeing one built!

This is going to be a neat and fun build! Looking forward to it! Mark, Count me in on that popcorn, I’ll bring the sliced Serrano peppers to add for flavoring (Serrano’s and jalapeño peppers go really well in fresh popcorn like that).

Excellently done and executed, Keith!

The Triton’s plans are in the group projects under the Triton downloads section that will be visible to you shortly, if not already. The dimensions for the masts are in the plans. I bought the Shipyard Mercury, a similar vessel, to get a solid rigging plan that I intend to one of these days utilize with Triton’s dimensions on Triton.

Check out the HMS Triton group build on this forum. The plans are $5 from the NRG and can be built as POF, POB or a cross section. Everything is pre-lofted and the Triton is a frigate from the 1770’s. The HMS Winchelsea is another excellent project that is the subject of a group build on this forum. The plans are $15 from the NRG and it is designed as a POB build. The Winchelsea is a frigate from 1764.

Lomellina was slightly larger than the Revenge (granted built later, but similar time period), and the Revenge has a bonaventure mast.

Maybe another warship from Trafalgar?

Excellent work!

The bottom body plan is to the outside of the planking below the waterline. The top body plan is to the outside of the frames. My plans for the Solferino are from the same source. Looking forward to seeing a build of Montebello!

Amazing work!

Looking forward to this build!

Very nicely done!

Thank you very much! Here are the anchors and the spars in their fully painted and highlighted state: Next up: seal everything and then make some sails!
-
Excellent!
-
I have painted kit parts in the past. It works best with card to seal the parts first, before painting.
