bluenose2 Posted October 15, 2016 #1 Posted October 15, 2016 Hello Les here. Current cobuild is Darwins ship HMS Beagle. Did this ship have a carved beagle at the front of the bus or not. Any help would be great. Quote
Jaager Posted October 15, 2016 #2 Posted October 15, 2016 Marquardt has a dog sculpture and a scroll as options. I'm pretty sure it would take a wayback machine to know for sure. Unless new data becomes available, which ever option you choose can not be authoritatively refuted. bluenose2 and mtaylor 2 Quote NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

John R. McGann Posted December 25, 2016 #3 Posted December 25, 2016 Les: I also am building the Beagle and am seeking the inboard color for the bulwarks and hatch coamings. Do ypu know what they were? starsailor2@q.com mtaylor 1 Quote
CharlieZardoz Posted December 25, 2016 #4 Posted December 25, 2016 I typically see some sort of Beagle-esque design on models that people have built. You can also inquire with those who are building the replica in Chile and see what they plan on doing. This goes for coloring as well most of these images are taken from google, There is no specific answer so you may as well get creative while also working with what was fashionable for the time.

CharlieZardoz Posted December 26, 2016 #5 Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Also you should pick up the Anatomy of the ship book for Beagle and that has very accurate detailing. You may also want to research Cherokee class brig sloops there were tons of them and a few of them might have had images of them recorded. Like for example this is the figurehead of the HMS Forrester while not a beagle shows the size and placement of the bust Edited December 26, 2016 by CharlieZardoz mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Build on hold: HM Sultana 1/64th scale Current Build: 31 ton Doughty revenue cutter as USRC Active 1/64th scale (in progress) Future Interests: Ballahoo, Diligence, Halifax and beyond...
