I've finished the "Disposition of Frames" drawing. I am not quite happy with the position of the timberheads between station line 17 and 19. But this is the position I got from the As Built plan of the Fly. Next I will built my building board and start with the model.

Thanks druxey. That sentence helps me a lot. I hope now, that I can finish the drawing until this weekend.

@Ed Thank you. I use also the waterlines of the half breath plan. I am sure that's a lot more work to draw this manually because it was more than enough work with my CAD. You're right. But it made a lot of fun to do this exercise. Also I had some points I want to check with the drawing. On the Half Breath Plan were only the positions and angles of every second cant frame given. I wanted to check the reconstrction of the other cants. What's with the position of the gun ports? WHich cant frames do I have to shift? Is every timberhead given in the Sheer and Profile drawing on top of a frame? If I compared the position of the timberheads given in the Sheer and Profile of Fly and in the DOF plan of Cygnet, I found some alterations, for example at the fore cants. I wanted to check the consequences for the frame design. @druxey I've checked the position of all timberheads of the Sheer and Profile drawing and my reconstruction again. At the after cant frames I found two timberheads whose position do not really match with my cants. The position of the other four timberheads is ok. So I think to change my design will not solve the problem. What do you think is the better solution? To move the timberhead or to add a timber between the frames and not to change the position. @all Thanks for your interest and hints, which I really appreciate.

Thanks for the Likes and comments @druxey Hopefully yes, but I will check this again and add them to the drawing. There is one timerhead, which was also shown on the Cygnet drawing that is positioned between two frames.

Today it rained all day, so I had enough time to finish the design of the cant frames The Bollard Timbers and Hawse Pieces are missing to complete the planning of framework. The individual components and the frames I'll draw later during the build. Next, the construction of the two-stage slipway is on the ToDo list, then I can lay down the keel for the model.

Hi Mick, I'll follow your log with interest. It's a very uncommon type of ship and so very interesting

In the moment I am working on a corrected disposition of frames drawing for my sloop The basis are DOF of Cygnet (ZAZ4691) Dimensions given in "The Ship Builders Repository", 1788 (1) Dimensions given in Steel "The Element and Practice of Naval Architecture", 1805 (1) Antscherl TFFM, Volume 1 (1) The dimensions I took from Allan Yedlinsky "Scantlings of Royal Navy Ships 1719-1805". The original books are unfortunately to expansive for my hobby budget. The different timbers for the keel and the knee of the head, I took from David's book. I only adapt these to the other proportions. After a lot of measurements in the DOF of Cygnet and comparing with the given dimensions, I decided to follow Steel. I am really surprised how well the frames fit to the original drawing. If you compare the numbers of the sweep ports with the original drawing, yo see that there is one port missing, because it was not shown on the As built drawing. In the moment I am drawing the cant frames, which is much easier as by my second project.

Dan, it looks like that you've nearly finished your build and also your log. These are very sad news. What should I read in the future? Your log was and is a big inspiration for me. Thanks for the really lot of work you've done by photograhing the steps of your build writing your explanations and so on. Your log is in my opinion beside the book of Greg the best source of building this type of model Thanks very much.

Welcome on board, Daniel. The work on the llines is finished. In the moment I work on the disposition of frames drawing. It's very interesting to compare the Cygnet drawing with the Shipbuilders Repository and Steel to get the thickness of the different timbers. And the to compare this with David's results.

Nils, do you like to add the plating with copper or brass foil? Do you have a plating plan of the ship? I've seen a part of this type of drawing from one of the Flying P Liners and foud it very difficult to read.

Mark, your old planking was looking ok but your new planking is looking much better. The transoms and espacially the tansition to the counter timber is really tricky. I had there also a lot of problems during the build of my half model.

Very nice work. Your planking is looking really crisp.

Welcome on bord, Antony The completion of the hull of my control model in the region behind the last frames has attracted much longer than expected. When planning the last phase of the construction I realized that the body plan of the original drawing and therefore my reconstruction at the top of the last two frames is too narrow. So back to the drawing board and the frames 19 and 20 newly constructed. The hull at frames 20 is now about 1 mm wider in the region of maximum breath than originally. With the help of several buttok lines and the new water lines I have also redesigned the transoms I haven't add all changes on the test hull, so you can see in the pictures the not entirely harmonious course of the lines. The first step of my little project -the reconstruction of the lines- is complete. In between, I have asked myself several times whether the construction of the half-model was even necessary. After the problems in the reconstruction of the transoms and fashion pieces, that define the shape of the stern, have identified, the construction of the test model was more than worth. I am happy to have the mistakes now and not found during the construction of the POF model. In the next few weeks I'll construct keel, frames and all other components that are needed to build the hull. In autumn I like to start the construction of the POF model. Until then, one last picture which shows the side view of the test hull.

Jack, yes, it's the company. If they speak English I don't know. If not, I would be pleased to help you because my German is much better than my English
