1/12 for a Swan Class Sloop would be a dream. 1/32 is the biggest scale which is possible for me. Fully rigged the model would be 5 feet long and around 3 feet height. I own Alexanders drawings for HMS Anson and think if it is possible to build a hull model with all frames in 1/32. But this is a project if I am retired because a lot of time and much more experience than I have is necessary.

Mark, is ist right, that on French ships thy don't use the 3 But Shift or 4 But Shift System for the planking sheme? If they use it, you have to change the ends of the planks in your last picture.

Per, I've had a nice hour reading through your build log. If you are finishe, you will have a really nice longboat model. Very well done and documented. I will definitly come back and read your log again, if I start building the boats for my sloop.

I remember on your last 74gun ship. It was also a marvelous project. After starting my sloop in 1/32 I know, why you like the big scales.

I love, to follow your log. It doesn't matter what kind of ship you build next, I will do it again

Very nice, Pawel -
Very good video, Kenny. Your hints and -sorry to say- your small inaccuracies are very helpful for me, to avoid the same mistakes. Normally a model maker doesn't like to show these details. But these are the points which will help others. Thanks for sharing

Hi Roger, exist a build log of your long boat? I am very interested to see your model.
-
I agree with, Daniel. For a ship of the later 18th century, Druxey is right. For a dutch ship of the 17th century option d is also possible.

Daniel, I was in the Netherlands for a job last week. I know that I am a bit to late. If it is possible to get the Utrecht for the preorder price. I like to order a kit.

Congrats for reaching this first milestone of your project. I think you have to be very proud about your model
-
Really wonderful project. I've never seen a working boat like this before as a model

How much are you willing to pay
AnobiumPunctatum replied to Worldway's topic in Wood ship model kits
I am a little bit surprised. 1000$ for the Amati Pegasus. In Europe the kit costs around 400,- € which are aroud the same in $. Perhaps it is possible to order the kit by a European seller? I don't know what tax you have to pay later. -
Really interesting project. I've never seen this ship type before. Very well done, Anthony

Found your log this morning. Very nice build.

Anguriel, the thickness of the regular frames is not that important in 1/48 (1'' is 0.5mm in that scale). If you take the medium thickness and make all frames the same it's absolut ok. I think the typical position of the single and double frames and the special frames at midship are typical for an English ship and special for your choosen pattern. But if you like the fun to build it more close to the original ship, do it the more complicated way. I wouldn't you black paper for the frames. The joint is not stable enough. There exist a one layer pulp, which you will find in a hobby store. If you use this the joint is much better. Black paper should show the caulking. As far as I know there is now caulking between the tmibers of a frame. If you want to higlight the joints, it is better to use brown color which is a little darker than the used timber, Have a look on page 4 in my build log.

Anguriel, I checked the values. They are correct. I've had a look to my drawing project. At cutters the first futtock is also wider than the floor timber. As far as I remember the position of the gun ports of the group build matchs the original drawing.

Anguriel, I will check it this evening.
