  1. Hello everyone, it's great to be back on this forum again. The original plan was to take at least half a month off after 《YOUNG AMERICA 》and move on to the next project. But I'm used to being in the studio every day, enjoying the intense and difficult process. I've been reading all THE books I've bought these days, and I've decided to start making 《THE NAIAD FRIGATE 1797》. I also chose it because I like a boat with a complicated interior. More importantly, the whole process and Mr. Edt's drawings made me feel very precise, very human, very easy to understand. At least I don't have to spend any more time doing research. I will have a holiday soon, the hot Beijing lets me bury in the home earnest manufacture, and the determination completes it! It took me more than three months to learn and prepare before I started building my last boat, and this time it took me only four days to build it. It's still a tough ship for me, but I'm willing to share my every move with you, even if it means going through the inevitable process of failure. But I think perfection is the goal of all of us.
  2. here are some photos of the naiad in construction...
  3. Hi All, I am new to the forum. I am very active on another forum, but decided to join here after meeting so many wonderful people at the NRG Conference in Mystic this past fall. While at the confernece, I stumbled upon Ed Tosti's masterpiece, The Naiad Frigate,Vol 1 & 2 from SeaWatch Books. I bought them and devoured them. There is so much great information in these books for all levels of modelers. In addition to the books, Ed's log and that of Albert will come in handy as I progress. As for me, I consider myself a new intermediate modeler and welcome all constructive comments. I just finished a kitbashed POB Rattlesnake and am starting the rigging to a POF US Brig Eagle scratch build. I was not planning to start the Naiad so soon, but here it is... Since I do all of my modeling while standing in the garage, I built the building board at about 42" height. I plan to use it for more projects after this, so the construction is very solid, using kiln dried pine 1x4 and melamine. I also put in some trays so my tools wont end up on top (thats the theory...) It has the T-Tracks as specified in the book. I opted for a laminated copy of the builidng plan, since my first attempt at a spray adhesive for gluing the plans down didnt look so good. The laminated plan was less expensive than the glue. And, I like the results much more. You will note the gantry and uprights are made from Padauk. I had some laying around so decided to use it. They are also glued, screwed, and pinned. I am planning for a long life and a life time of use... The stern and stem holders are made from simple kiln dried pine and are also glued and screwed. I scored the center line to ensure that everything lines up (or so I hope...) I made multiple sets of clamps from Boxwood and 6-32 brass screws and thumb bolts. These were fun to make and really come in handy. I like them better than the small colored clips since you can adjust the pressure. Also shown is my version of the framing jib. I made a double jig as shown. In my next installment, I will share my work on the stem, knee of the head and keel. All are coming along nicely. Thank you, Gary
  4. Welcome back. We have a lot of work to do. Fortunately I have all the Naiad posts saved as Word files and all the associated images, so I will be putting up the entire 176 parts as soon as I can. The model is approaching completion, so I do not expect more perhaps 10-12 new posts, but there has been enough interest in the old posts to make the effort worthwhile. We will all need to be showing a lot of patience for awhile. I will also opening a topic in the book section for "The Naiad Frigate - Volume I. There are some content updates I want to share there. I will also be reposting the 1:96 Victory Build log, but that will be taking a back seat to Naiad for awahile. Cheers, Ed
  5. 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,
