  1. I found that it was part of the French Temeraire class but I'm unable to find any sort of plans
  2. Can anyone help me find plans for this. America gave This ship to the French as a gesture of friendship. America was the first ship of the line built for the Continental Navy, but she never saw service there, being given to France after launching. French ship America (1788) America was a Téméraire-class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. The Royal Navy captured her in 1794 at the Glorious First of June. She then served with the British under the name HMS Impetueux until she was broken up in 1813. She became the prototype for the Royal Navy America-class ship of the line.
  3. Well how about a good sorce for plans to do a scratch build then
  4. I'm looking to find a decent French 2nd or 3rd rate ship of the line. Hopefully 1/48 scale, something that will compare with something like the HMS Bellona from CAF model. for a gift to a friend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
  5. I have looked through all the downloads offered in the group build logs 3 times and unless I'm mistaken, I can't find it
  6. I very much appreciate your help
  7. Thank you very much this is very helpful
  8. I think I'm going to take a shot in the dark and set it at 20° to the horizontal that should give me a decent sail size for speed without putting too much stress on the bowsprit when I go to make this remote controlled. hopefully fingers crossed
  9. Hello, I am trying to build the HMS Triton found in the Group projects. The build does not include any of the masting construction and I am wanting to include the masting with bowsprit hoping to find info on how there all built into the hull of the ship before I get too deep into the build so I can add the necessary woodwork needed for their construction into the boat. I'm needing this info because I'm planning to make this a remote-controlled sailboat. I have looked everywhere I can think to look for something that might help me understand how the bowsprit is attached to the hull with no or extremely vague results hoping someone can help. Thank in advance to any able to offer anything to my dilemma.
  10. I dream of having the ability to perches and build a kit but I'm an old man and on a verry tightly fixed income I can't see me being able to afford one in this lifetime unfortunately. Hence my choice for a scratch build
  11. My concern is in placing them in their proper locating and with the bowsprit especially that it's at the proper angle. also, I'm unable to find anything that tells me how much doubling it required when connecting the main mast to its 2 toper masts. I found this in the build plans, and it has helped allot but not with everything Triton Mast and Spar Dimensions.pdf
