Really nice model and intersting log. Thnaks for sharing

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.

Really wonderful, Siggi. Where do you found the information about the painting of your model? I like to paint my Fly also later, but didnt found a good source.

Very accurate planking job. I like it very much.

Wonderful pictures of a beautyful model

Thanks druxey and Jan. @Jan This would a nice idea, but we don't have the possibility to place the half model on the wall. We live in attic floor apartement

Ben it looks that the port is a little big and so the frames on the counter timber are a little bit small. If you plank the upper part of your hull I wouldn't change anything.
