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.

I believe it is the ship Disnie's Black Pearl is based on, and I have the Revell kit, in hopes of displaying them side by side at some point. And yes--I really build in the drivers seat of a Dodge Caravan ( I have no where else I can build )

Yes--I have den told that several times. I have recently discovered that my track phone has 3 camera settings, and that I have had it set on the lowest one. Once I have this thread up to date with all the old pictures, I will take new pictures with one of the 2 other settings and see if this helps.
