bought an old billing boats norske love kit on ebay, but could not use the ribs because I wonted full gun decks. So I made new drew and cut out new ribs from 1/4" plywood. and used them on the kit keel. Then added a lower gun deck of 1/16" plywood. Then added the kit top deck, forecastle, quorter deck, and poop deck. And began planking the hull.

The drawing I found on the internet, is the second picture at the beginning of this thread. Yes- it is a very poor print. First-I copied the horizontal distance from cannon port to cannon port on the Revell plastic kit. Then compared the vertical distance from gun deck to gun deck, and this was a good match to the Revell 1/96 USS Constitution plastic kit. I have not measured my model at the water line yet, I'll get back to you on that.

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.
