The Swan Class Sloop and I have as some of you know a longer history. Two years ago I started my build log for the build in 1/48. A few month later I had to stop the build because I got some problems with my eyes. At the beginning of this year I started again. I decided to change the scale of my build to 1/32.
I hope that some of you are intersted in my build and like to follow my log.

So let's start again
 

Paul, it's allways a pleasure to follow your log.

Moin Karl,

I wish you luck with your new project and will follow your build with great interest. Are the new frameing set of Ancre the money worth?

Very interesting construction method.

If you paint the outside of the frames black before you glue in the filler pieces, you will have a very good reference line for shapeing the hull.

Another model of it's own on your ship  model. Really wonderful lantern

Really wonderful drawings, Alan.

I love the 3D views. Which software do you use for your drawings?

Happy birthday, Doris.

Congrats to this beautyful little model

Really nice progress, Dan. It looks so easy, if you work on this parts. But I know it is not easy. This is a really nice model of it's own.

Do you plan also to build the pinnace?

Fantastic work, Remco

Really wonderful pictures. What's the next model in your shipyard?

Wow, your figurehead is looking absolut fantastic. Really nice carvings

Really nice progress

Welcome to the Triton shipyard.

Don't hurry, model builders have normally a lot of patience.

Thanks for your opinion. I will check this detail also with the other Sheer and Profile plan.

Mike,

thanks for your interest, but I don't have an update for my log in the moment.

I didn't found the right arrangement for the cant frames until now. I found another sheer and profile plan in an Danish archive, which I have to study. If I found a possible solution for the cants I'll update the log.

in the moment I work on my second project HMS Fly 1/32.

Really nice model. I took the time to have a look in your other logs. Really intersting,I didn't know Herreshoff before.

Hi Dan,

I'll follow you log with great interest. Do you also build the other boats?

Really nice progress, Mike

 

It doesn't appear many people do these large ships in 1/48 so maybe 1/72 would be more fitting.  If I did calculation right 1/48 means a 170 foot ship such as these would come out to 42.5 inches long, nearly 4 feet, which seems absolutely massive.

and these diemensions are only the hull. If you like to rigg her, the model will be much bigger.

As allway, really neat and precise work, Paul.

Really nice progress, Alexandru

The stove is looking eally great
