druxey Posted April 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2015 A little more information would be helpful. Have you any idea of her size or tonnage, for instance? robin b 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jparsley Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted April 26, 2015 All I can find is she was originally a packet ship owned by the royal navel and was captured by the Spanish I'll try to find some specifications Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jparsley Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted April 26, 2015 Best I can come up with Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted April 26, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2015 That would be the wrong one. This is the one you want: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Royal_(sloop) What you show is a second rate ship of the line, not a packet ship. I'm not seeing much else Googling. No plans listed in the NMM.

Jparsley Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted April 26, 2015 Ok got those specs didn't figure the big ship was her what would this girl look like since I am a complete noob when it comes to ships Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 26, 2015 Share #7 Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) That information is much more helpful! Illustrated below is very much like what her appearance would have been. The plan shows a slightly later and larger ship, after conversion in the navy. Take away all those gun ports and the barricades along the upper deck, replacing them with open rails, and you will have a pretty good idea of what your Princess Royal looked like.

Jparsley Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted April 26, 2015 The only problem I have is I'm not a scratch builder so I would need a kit is there one out there that looks like these plans Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
