It depends on the set of drawings you got from the NMM. I have an old copy which has some discrepances to the MSW design of all double framws. Last year I bought a new color copy of the as built drawing at the NMM. This drawing fits really well with the MSW drawings For a "single frame build" you have to draw all cant frames by yourselve. These won't work with the original ship. For the midship frames I think it's possible to use the MSW drawings. At which frame it makes sense to draw new frames I can't say in the moment. Last weekend I started with redrawing the lines. Then I will check which frames I need to redraw to build the model as I dream from the beginning of the community project. I don't know how much time I need but I hope that I have the first results until the end of the year.

@Chris If not, perhaps it is possible to publish your drawings. The Prince is allways a very fine ship to build a model.

@dgbot I know the model of Mr. Cole. He published his model on a website. @Ed Thanks very much for your description. I will give it a try before I made my decision. I made some other tests but these don't work very well, so I am trying and learning in the moment. The rabbet of this small vessel is really challenging and I don't want to break anothe backbone.

Mark, that looks like a promising start. I wish you all the best for your second attempt

Dan, I don't know, what I can write what was not written before? It's a fantastic build and build log with lots of tips. Thanks very much

Ed, thanks for the info. It's a completely different model and that is what I like

Congrats for reaching this milestone, Ed. Your hull is looking very impressive. Do you think of publishing your drawings later?

No pictures this weekend. Yesterday I tried to cut the rabbet but I am not really happy with the result. There are two main problems. The keel has over the whole length a curve wgich is quite difficult to cut precise. The second problem is the prepared rising wood with the notches for the frames. At this smaller parts the timber will bunk. So I decided to build another backbone for my small cutter and try the rabbet again. I am thinking of only cutting the loer half of the rabbet at the midshipframes. During fairng the completed hull I am thinking of doing the upper half of the rabbet. Has anyone did a rabbet this way? I hope that the changes I made in my design will help me to get a better result. If not, I will decide which of the finished keels looks better and use this for the rest of my build.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
