    amount of detail in the Frigates of the Royal Navy Series The Naiad Frigate

    in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I'm considering purchasing The Frigates of the Royal Navy Series THE NAIAD FRIGATE (38) 1797 Volume 1 and 2.

    It looks like a great book but would like to know first how much detail is contained within the two.

    How does it compare to the Anatomy of the Ship, the 24 Gun Frigate Pandora for example?

     

    I am considering starting a 3D built of the Naiad with the eventual aim to built one using CNC and 3D printing myself.

    Is the detail sufficient for that including the interior decks?

     

    thank you for the help,

    Brilliant work,

    I have been playing around with the idea of doing a similar project with the same plans. I am hoping to construct a 3D model while also actually building the model for real.

    I was wondering which drawing from the book you refered to in order to obtain the inner surface for the frames?  Is this done from the cross sections in the book of the different frames? Or is their an easier way?

     

    Thank you so much for the help, and the inspirational work.

    best regards,

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.
