It's time to put the dust away. Ten years ago I started with great enthusiasm the build of the small cutter. But to be honest I was not able to reconstruct the framing of the cutter. So I stopped after some time and paused the project. In October of 2022 I started a new try.
I lerned a lot and made a complete rework of my reconstruction. The first two pictures are showing a 3D-model which I used to check my lines.
As written in the old posts I was not happy with the frame design in Goodwins AotS Book. In my opinion, it does not fit into the time in which the cutter was built. There are several DoF plans of small ships of this era in the NMM. What almost all of them have in common is that the double frames were dissolved. A space was also left between the first futtock and the floortimber. However, the "double frames" were still connected by chocks.
The picture shows my reconstruction. I have it a little bit simplified, because I w like to plank the hull, so the shifted top timbers will not be visible. Many many thanks to @Chuck who gave me the inspiration for the simplification.
Since February last year I am working on the model. All parallel frames have been built in the meantime. I am now busy with a second version of the backbone.
The build is more or less a test to learn working with my CNC. In November I have started working on my sloop Fly again. The plan is to build and test the building methods on Alert and use this than for my ship sloop.

@allanyed I refer to Kirsch "Galleon - Great ships of the Armada Era". In German the title is "Die Galeonen"

Really interesting project. I know the book and used it many years ago during my build of the Revell kit.
I wish you a lot of fun during your journey and will follow with great interest.
Are you sure that you have enough meet on the upper parts of your frames? It seems that they are to thin for the necessary curves.

In my opinion the framing design changed in 1775 - 1776. You will find similiary changes also in other classes, for example the Swan class sloops.
I think that Portland has the conventional framing pattern with double and single frames. For Bristol I don't know but had the same thoughts as you.

Really wonderful pogress, Mike

Congratulations for finishing this beautyful model and for reaching the awards.

I guess that scratch building is sooo yesterday....
Definitly not. But to learn from Chuck and some other producers can help to make it possible or much easier to build the ship you like to have.

Your model is a dream. A model of one of of the most famous ships in her original (as far as we know today) appearance.

Congrats for reaching this milestone during your design and build proces. I like the innovative ideas you share with us and your hull is looking amazing.

Hi Tim,
this was my first try. I used the Design and not the As-Built drawings. I was not really happy with the result and could not solve the points I did not like. Last year I started with a new reconsrtuction following the as-built drawings of Rattlesnake. In this I have solved the problems of my old design.
If you find the old design helpful, feel free to use it.
