@Antony Thanks for the info. @Daniel I've scanned the NMM-drawing and work with the digital copy in Autocad. There I can take the measurements of all lines much easier than by hand. Also it's possible to get the information of the radii of the different curves. Be aware that the original drawing has some distortion which you have to calculate out. The diagonal and horizontal lines in the half breath except the breath extreme line are the result of the construction work in the body plan. There I use splines. All curves in the body plan are arcs with tagential transition. I will try to describe what I did, but it's not so easy to do in English. So please give me bit of time.

As written in my last post I bought last month the design drawing for Alert/Rattlesnake at the NMM. With my new knowledge about reconstruction of a line drawing I started to redesign the ship on basis of the NMM drawing. For this I did not use any information of Goodwin, because it's not a primary source. I don't have access to the archieves so I will only use the NMM drawing and later the vademecum for the scantlings. I am not sure if I like to show my model as designed and shown on the drawing or as shown on the Marshal painting. Both presentations have the same origin: they should show the design for a ship to the people who allocate the funds. The drawing isn't finished but I like to hear your meaning about the the reconstructed lines: It#s my first reconstructed ship, so I am not sure if everything is right.

Really wonderful progress, Jürgen.

Your new cannons are looking much nicer than the kit ones
-
Congrats for reaching this milestone. Your model is looking really nice.

There are some very interesting items on the agenda.Damned that Germany is to far away from St. Louis

This book looks like a good Christmas present for myself
-
Christian, as Mark has written, you can follow Goodwin in this detail for your model
-
Really wonderful windlass. This is one very tricky part and you make to look it so easy.

Hi Daniel, very impressive progress in the last month
-
Andy, the kit and most models of this beautyful ship are based on drawings from Höckel or Quinger. Quinger published a book in the 70th of the last century. I don't know if there exist an English translation of the book.

Jack, I found your log today and will follow your build with great interest.

Dan, really nice progress on your masts. It's allways a pleasure to follow your fantastic log.

@Rich, I fixed the broken picture links. Hopefully all pictures are now visible again. @all Sorry that I didn't make an update for a long time. Sometimes real life lets not really time for modelbuilding. In the moment I am waiting for the original plan of the Rattlesnake which I ordered at the NMM. There are a lot of details where I am not happy with my design which I made on basis of the AotS book. Last year I traced the lines as described in an article of the MSW database. But meanwhile I learned a lot about doing an new reconstruction on basis of an original drawing. This I will try to do for the cutter after the original drawing arrived. Perhaps one of our admins can change scale in the title, because I like to build the model in 1/32. The bigger scale gives me a lot more possibilities for makeing the klinker planking. At last I have a question: Roger Cole refers in his article about his model on an article which was published in Nautical Research Journal Vol 29, Number 4 December 1983: Kingman, Irving H: Modeling HMB Cutter Alert - 1777. Perhaps someone can help me with a copy. Thanks.

Looking very nice, Ben.

Dan, the pictures of your fly are just outstanding. Really really beautyful Christian
-
The stove and the cabinet are looking really nice. Perhaps the cement joints are a little bit to thick.
-
Really wonderful progress
-
Very interesting build. I will follow with great interest. I have the Romero PRcaticum and the drawings of Portia Takakjian. Where can i find the prcaticum of Gene?

Wow, really wonderful! It's a pleasure to follow your log, Dan

Thanks for the drawings. It's a nice addition for my full hull model.
