Coming along very nicely, PA. After the bow is framed, the square frames will be a walk in the park! -
Top and butt was amore economic use and was more likely. Hooked joints were probably only used on larger ships of war for additional reinforcement. I think you would be safe with a (double) strake of top and butt and one strake of butt jointed planks. I'm sure variation occurred between shipyards. In this shipyard, you are master shipwright!

L'Amarante by marsalv - 1:36 - POF

An interesting solution to 'glazed' windows. Any difficulty with static and dust from milling on the plastic? -
Shaping up beautifully, Mark!

Thanks for this morning smile, Ab! A wonderful way to recycle. Heer ter Velde is an original thinker.
-
At least you had a good reference with the grid of waterlines and buttock lines, as well as diagonals.
-
Much closer now! Distortion is a pain to eliminate....
-
Looks like serious distortion in the body plan that will need to be addressed.

Congrats, Clare! A 'launching flags' model would be very attractive - especially if in a diorama setting - and not need rigging, for sure.
-
Looking lovely, Cri-cri. Formidable!

The lower channel appears to be protective of the chains at dockside.

In interesting way to construct a framed hull!

LE CENTAURE 1783 by Jeronimo

Lovely work, despite a drafting error - that so easily can happen! -
Superb, as usual, Gary!

Everything was standardised! The Fully Framed Model lists and shows these (page 211): Leaguer 4' 6" x 2' 9", puncheon 3' 6" x 2' 8" and hogshead 3' 1" x 2' 4". Construction was also standard. Powder barrels had withy rather than iron hoops, for obvious reasons!

Just stumbled on your log. The model looks beautifully done. Love the canework!
-
Looking great so far!

The foot bars are called stretchers. Some are simply vertical pieces of plank that fit into slots on longitudinal pieces each side of the boat or between vertical struts.

Thank you for this primer in proper usage of images, Chris.
-
Impressive little beasties! Well done, Chuck.
-
Yes, Greg, you are correct: She is. The model is much more advanced now than in the photo posted. The hull, decks and fittings are almost complete. The headwork will shortly commence. But I don't want to hijack your exemplary build!

The principle of a tally stick or tick strip is an old and very reliable one for transferring measurements error-free. You will find this very useful in many applications while building a model, Chris. I have a small pile of paper and card strips that I use for the purpose.
