minimini got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HDMS FREYA 1789 by minimini - scale 1:48 - 40-gun Danish frigate February 26, 2019

Hi All

so on to the main wale,decided to nail a strip of wood on the hull to get the run of the wale, next I will glue 2 out of the 3 rows of 7 x 3 mm on. I do the third one after I rebuilt a few of the gun port.

finished plankning the lower counter. I use 2mm x 3mm boxwood, next is the main wale, which will be made of 7mm x 3.2mm beech.
and as I'm going to paint the wale , I will not do any Treenailing ther.

Hi all

this will be my attempt to start a build log for my model of the 40 gun danish frigate FREYA as build in 1789
She was Designed by the Ernst Wilhelm Stibolt and was one of 4 frigate that he build between 1789 - 1795

most of her career under the Danish flag, she was used on convoy duty.and on july 25 1800 she was escort for a convoy of six merchant ships. when she was stopped by four English frigates in the English Channel. The captain
opposed the referral of the convoy in compliance with its orders.
Freya had with its 40 guns no chance against the English 130. and after 30 min. The captain chose to strike the flag
but she was given back later that year.and on Sep. 7th 1807 she was Captured along with the rest of the Danish fleet

Hi

I have not make up my mind yet if I make a fully rigged model.

I have this image of the battle between Freya and the 4 British frigates on july 25 1800.

Hi Yves, I agree with you !
It is a very interesting book dedicated to RN 1st rate ships. There is lot of pictures in it and covers the matter from the first ship, the Prince Royal, to the last sailing vessels and the first steam vessels. I have a private library of about 30 of these books: they are quite expensive and are maily written in english language. Italian literature about these topics is poor and difficult to find on the market. In addition I have found on the interet a big number of books in PDF format that increase the written material available. Obviously the paper media is my preferred but the difference in space needed to keep it is a little bigger . .

Hi Daniel, thanks for your suggestion about DIY.
I remain convinced that, considering the dangerous materials to manage, it may not probably be the proper matter for my skills.
Anyway, I'm following your idea to research on the internet to find written material to manage this option. And, as you wrote, there is plenty of sites describing the photo-etching process, also videos. May be that a better knowledge will help me, although I will keep, for the previous considerations, this idea as my theoretical "Plan Z". Obviously a success in such enterprise should be very exciting . .

Kind regards, Jack.

Hi All

Freya was similar to French frigates in hull form an proportions, having shallow hulls like French frigates,by that time, which made her leewardly in comparison to deeper hulled British frigates.She weigh slightly in excess of 1,000 tons burthen
if you comparing Danish and british frigates one of the biggest differences is that Danish frigates only had 4 months stowage capacity for stores and provisions.most British-built frigates had 6 months stowage.
she was armed with 26 18pdrs. and 14 6 pdrs.and she was 149 ft. long one her lower deck and 124 ft. on the keel.Depht in the hold was 10ft. 9ins.

Druxey: yes you are right they are temporary they will be removed when I finish sanding the stern ( wing- transom )
hope it's something I've finished this week.
