Good to see your planking progress David and interesting what you say on banding of the planks, as Trial is small, the number of bands can only be two/three. As I am about to start the first planking I will try out either two or three bands of planking and see if that informs how I go on my second planking. Like you say, each go at planking is a means of improvement/learning for the next "big" project. 👍

I found this:- "Shipbuilding in Ireland in the Nineteenth Century" - Shipbuilding in the United Kingdom in the Nineteenth Century (cambridge.org) Nothing specific on the RN. but the tonnages mentioned may have included Cutters/Brigs/Sloops at a push, maybe commercial vessels brought into the service as transports etc I could imagine, but don't know. Hopefully some history buffs on here know more. There obviously Harland & Wolff, but that is much later than the period you are interested in.

Just a little update, the house it getting back to normal and the garage where I do my modelling is now emptying of "stuff", so I can get at the Trial again! 😀 I've not done much, but very pleased to be back doing even a little. Assembled the Prow and glued in place, holding it straight and true with plenty of elastic bands and a clip to hold it straight to the keel. Leaving this to cure a day or so before I progress, but I have been dry fitting the bulwark templates to see how they will sit, showing so far I need to do a little more fairing of the hull yet. Hoping to keep David @dunnock company now with his Trial build.

Agreed, a great looking and unusual project Richard. Following along with interest, the engine came out really well, I hope you will be able to some of it when the rest of the superstructure goes on.

That 'frost'? effect on the larger plate is amazing, I know its plastic, but in looks like cold steel! 🥶 -

Ha! - Just how long did that hat last! Our pooch would have shredded it in no time, he looks great fun! 🐶 -
Hi David, I feel your frustration, brings back memories of my Sherborne. But as Chris says, people can get hung up on this stage of the build. I did line out and work out the plank widths on my Nisha, but that has a more forgiving bow shape!

I’m sure if Chris did that Ancestry DNA test that by my Admiral is so into, we would see a whole linage of Coyles from Gdańsk! 🤣

Congratulations Chris on another fine example of the “Dark Arts” of card. Really outstanding and having tried card myself I really appreciate the skill and effort required to make yours look that good, wish I could get mine half way there!

Good save David, now this just the sort of “help” I was hoping for as I sit having a beer in Menorca! I promise to be alongside, messing things up in my own way, making you look the master you are, as your Diana stands testament!

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.
