Well done and well made. I admire your craftsmanship considering what you had to work with. I am afraid your model fell into the camp of a list by Rob Napier from many years ago. It is model that shall not be made. Not enough documentation first account info or data and incomplete plans. Who cares. I look foraward to your Hannah. There is a ton of info and several commplete plans. It will depend on how you wish to tackle her.

hi all
been busy over the last couple of days.unfortunately its back to four nights of work.boo hoo!
almost ready to start rigging.forgot to make the pawl bit for the windlass but will get round to that next time im off.
had my recent delivery from chuck passaro,beautiful pear wood blocks plus some more rope.
once the riggings complete theres a lantern for the transom,another of chucks offerings and then finally the swivel guns.

found some more pictures of current build.should bring things up to date. almost ready to start rigging.will be using chuck passaros blocks and rope.
already used some of chucks cannon barrels on scratch built carriages.absolutely superb qaulity turnings.
will also be using chucks lantern kit as a final stern embellishment.
postman brought my latest kit this morning,direct from model expo in florida . rn pinnace based on chucks prototype. should be an interesting build.
also have just subscribed to deagostini for their hms surprise kit.this will form the basis of a heavily modified kit build.some of the components are crude to say the least. i was intending to build this as the refitted ship circa 1798? hence the purchase of the original draft from the nmm.wont be starting this for another 12 months or so, lots of planning to do first.

this will be my first scratchbuilt project.based on a set of plans first published around an article in modelboats cica 1996 by a chap called peter danks. (myrmidon man?)
apparently this vessel was originally built for service on the great lakes of north america during the america war of independance.
built around ply wood bulkheads on a similar system to some of the billing kits ie in two halves.
wales planked using 3mm x 4mm beech.
all other planking in lime wood.
various fittings will be in a mixture of other timbers including boxwood,ramin.

Thanks Andy
Reading thru the article again the original source was The sailing navy list by David Lyon. The fraught was originally purchased from the nmm and notes on the fraught suggested that two such ships MAY have been built.no names for vessels were given. He also quotes the armament as 6 four pound cannon and up to 10 swivel guns. I have previously contacted the nmm with regards to this fraught quoting all this relavent info but they were unable to locate the fraught. I even contacted peter dank on the model boats forum but he was unable to provide any further info. So the model is treated as somewhat speculative. But an interesting exercise for a first scratch build...and not too complicated.many thanks for your research on my behalf.
I think the next scratch build will be the colonial schooner Hannah in 1\48 . my first go at proper framing.....plus model expos pinnacle...jean boudroits l'jacinthe......jean boudroits. LA belle....and the a seriously reworked HMS surprise in 1/48 by artesania. That's the plan anyway.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers.......mick
