rtropp Posted October 15, 2015 #2 Posted October 15, 2015 Are you sure they are out of business? I googled Mamoli and found a number of vendors as well as their web site. Richard Quote RichardMember: The Nautical Research Guild Atlanta Model Shipwrights Current build: Syren

ASAT Posted October 15, 2015 #4 Posted October 15, 2015 are you talking about the metal gunport castings? If so, you would be better off not using them and mounting dummy cannon strips and framing the gunports yourself - the castings and the alignment slots are cumbersome at best.....

dgbot Posted October 15, 2015 #5 Posted October 15, 2015 I have to agree with Lou you are looking at a long period of work and study and a lot of patience. If you are looking for the porthole frames you will have to make them. If you are talking about the hull frames if you are doing a full planking then just copy the lines to bulkheads and put them in.

Ulises Victoria Posted October 16, 2015 #6 Posted October 16, 2015 Hello. I am building the Mamoli R.L. Even with the plans, instructions and all the parts, some steps have been a PITA. I agree with the opinion to avoid using the metal frames. If I was going to build this again I would look for a way to skip using those metal parts.
