Went into town this morning for to look for a birthday present for the wife and found this rather splendid book in a charity shop and bought it for £2.00. Spooky as well as in the future this is the very ship I intend building as my "big model" once I have learned enough here to be able to cope. Has some wonderful ships plans. A good mornings work.

Pardon the spelling of a non-native British speaker, but 'good on yer, mate!'

I think we sometimes overlook the possibilities of non-specialized sources for our stuff.

Hi everyone;

 

Another nice touch here is the name of the author!  I thought he'd been dead for about 300 years!

 

All the best,

Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans.

2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

 

Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB 

 

On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research.

 

Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.
