    That is a really interesting solution for the ships framing.

    Congratulation for finishing this beautiful frigate.
  25. AnobiumPunctatum
    Did you make the drawings by yourself? You made really good progress in the last year. Now the fun part will begin.

    I had a look in Winfield: Triton was coppered in June 1778.
  28. AnobiumPunctatum
    No and Yes. In the beginning of her career HMS Triton had white stuff. In the beginning of the 1780th I am quite sure that she got a coppered hull. I will have a look this evening.
  29. AnobiumPunctatum
    I didn’t work with both timbers. In Europe lots of modellers choose pear and cherry. Expensive is relative. You work a really long time on such a model. So the monthly costs are also for box and pear are not to high.
  30. AnobiumPunctatum
    I think it depends on your personal taste. I have looked at all the woods mentioned. Since I paint my models, I finally decided on boxwood and holly. With natural wood models, the combination of pear and boxwood also works very well. It's best to get some samples and then decide what you like best.
  31. AnobiumPunctatum
    You should better use pear, cherry or boxwood for visible parts. Oak has a much to big grain for the small model.
  32. AnobiumPunctatum
    It's looking really good. Let a little bit more meet on the outside of the frames. This makes it easier to fair the hull after installing all frames.
  33. AnobiumPunctatum
    Have a look in the log of Jorge. He describes especially the start of his project really detailed.
  34. AnobiumPunctatum
    I am not sure, but the first deck you need is the lower deck (orlop). More important is the gundeck which is midships fully visible. For the keel you can use the keel drawing. There are some detail drawings which should help to cut out the parts. Have a look to the different build logs in the forum. I think they are really helpful, to find your way in the project.
  35. AnobiumPunctatum
    If you print the parts of the model check on your program that the scale of the printout is 100% and not fitted to sid or something similiar. You can check the scale of each print out with the ruler shown on every PDF. It is given the length of 10 feet in the scale 1/48. In metric scale it's exact 63.5mm. Don't worry about your thoughts. It's the beginning of a really long journey. For me the MSW project was also the start in scratch building. If you have not much experience I can recommend the cross section as a really good entry point. It hase the same scale as the full hull build but is much less complicated.
  36. AnobiumPunctatum
    If you like to use thinner bulkheads you have to rework the cutout in the centerboard. Forwards from middle bulkhead (0) you have to change the fore edge of the cutout and backwards the after edge. Then everything should work again. What is the thickness of the centerboard?

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.
