bikerbob Posted January 30, 2020 #162 Posted January 30, 2020 On 3/2/2019 at 2:26 PM, DocBlake said: This will be my build log for a project I've been building, on and off for some time. The cross section is of the HMS Blandford, a 20 gun Sixth Rate frigate launched in 1720 and represents a small segment of the ship at the level of the main mast. Included are the mast, the well and shot lockers, chain pump as well as elm tree pump details and weather deck details including 2 cannons. The model will be plank on frame with hull planked down to the wales. There are two decks. As I usually do, I hope to use no paint or stain (or at least as little as I can!). The plans are based on "The 20 Gun Ship Blandford" by Peter Goodwin, one of the AOTS series. The plans were drawn by one of my cyber friends, Mike41 who posts here. He did a great job. Although there are some simplifications in the framing (no chocks or scarfs in the hull frames, for example) the plans are fairly close to the AOTS drawings. The second photo shows the cross section's location in longitudinal view. Good Day I would be interested in this build; if plans are available could they be sent to Bikerbob@magma.ca thank you Robert
DocBlake Posted May 16, 2022 Author #163 Posted May 16, 2022 I just returned from Manitowoc WI where I attended the The 45th annual Model Ships and Boats Contest. I entered two models: The British Capstan circa 1777 and the HMS Blandford cross section. I'm pleased to report that each model won a Gold Award! Thanks to Mike Rohrer (Mike41) for his excellent plans for Blandford and to Toni Levine et.al. and the NRG for the Capstan project. bruce d, Ryland Craze, ccoyle and 9 others 12 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!
