  1. Mike, you don't missinterpret AotS. If I look on your last picture (plan copy) I think that the replica will be build as French ships would built. The deadwood and the only use of double frames looks like it was drawn in the book "The 74gun ship" by Boudriot. As fas as I know -but in the forum are a lot of people which have more experience with American ship building- it is common that American ship would built in French and English tradition.
  2. Alan, it's holiday time and I used it to reread your log. Your journey for reengineering the 74 gun ship is excellent. I like especially your 3D skills,which I don't have in the moment. It makes it much easier to check your reconstruction and avoid mistakes. I hope that you can make sawdust in the near future.
  3. Looks like you had a good start building your model after the long period of planning - it's exactly the same stage I am in the moment. I wish you a lot of patience and success for your build.
  4. The coppered hull looks fantastic. I like especially that you don't coppered the false keel, what was common for this time
  5. All frames are drawn and I started to build the keel. Thanks for your interest and and a Happy New Year
  6. Be careful with black paper. I've the exerience that the gluing is not stable. The problem is that paper has different layers and the wood glue will not go through all. I prefer black pulp, which I found in an hobby store. It has only one layer.
  7. Really wonderful model. I got a lot of inspiration from your work. Thanks for that
  8. Welcome to MSW. I will follow your log with interest.
  9. I can only second the comments of the others. Really wonerful work, Karl
  10. You're absolut right, Mark. Order is order. I only got the order to finish my sloop, before I start another project. So I am very happy with my admirality
  11. Mark, I don't know if you've written something about this. But I don't have any idea, wha do you do the whole work of a POF model (or a Hahn styled frameing) and plank both sides of the hull? The planking job looks really nice
  12. Really wonderful progress, Albert.
  13. Mick, a Swan class Sloop is really a nice project.
  14. I second the compliment of the others. I find it very interesting what you do with the color on your model. I got a lot of inspiration from this.
  15. Space is something which is allways insufficient. It's the same with the time. I made the mistake some years ago to think too much about the space my models need and forget to build one. So I have space but no model. If you like to build such a big model perhaps also as POF do it. You will need several years for the research and the build and no one knows what happend in the meantime. Hope you understand my denglish.
  16. Your capstan is looking really good. It's a clever idea to make the ring from timber.
