HMS FLY by cafmodel - 1/48

[cafmodel]

I was shocked when I saw this set of drawings for the first time. He was so gorgeous and had so many beautiful paintings. I watched for a long time and slowly appreciated them, trying to understand the craftsman's state from my current perspective

The ribs of British wooden sailboat are very complex. When making HMS enterprise, the ribs are simplified. There are two advantages: 1. The difficulty of making is reduced, the production is convenient, 2. The cost is reduced

But for HMS fly, I want to show its original structure as much as I can, which is a big challenge for me, but I like to challenge

Here's the scale, which can be adjusted to any scale

This book is free and very detailed

There is a little difference between the original design drawing in 1775 and the completed drawing in 1778

I look forward to seeing a lot more of this project as you move forward.  Thank you for sharing it with us.

A very nice subject for 1:48. I'll be watching this one progress 😎

[cafmodel]

This book is very good, with a very detailed structure introduction

Great seeing how you approach design in CAD. I'd love to see more images of this model.

 

Looks VERY interesting 😍

You might get more insight into construction of a Swan class sixth rate using The Fully Framed Model series of books. Frames are not all the same width all the way up.

Thank you, I'm looking for more information.

Hope to get more suggestions

This is a link to purchasing the framing plan for a Swan class ship from the Royal Museum Greenwich.  This illustrates Druxey's comment that the frames are not all the same width.

Thank you very much for your help

I noticed this situation in the initial drawing. According to the data measured in the original drawing, the change of the thickness of most ribs is not obvious, especially 1 / 48, which is not well reflected.

Not very obvious at all! But those diminishing futtocks, along with the shifted and cast toptimbers make this sort of modelling both fun and challenging (midships photo of my Swan class  Pegasus attached). I wouldn't include them in any scale smaller that 1:48 though as I don't think the human eye could pick out the 1" differences in width.

 

Happy New Year, CAF (don't know your name). I very much enjoy your innovative work in ship model kits

Hello ,Greg

Thank you very much. I like the challenge. I hope it will succeed this time

This one is very beautiful. What's the proportion of it? 1:48?

Among the ribs of some ships, the gradual reduction of ribs will be obvious, and there will be many changes, but this one is not obvious, especially the change of 0.2-0.5mm in the ratio of 1:48. I think that the change size can be increased appropriately during construction, which can be 0.5-0.8mm. I want to hear your suggestions

Happy New Year

Those perspective drawings would have been nice to have while I was building Atalanta.  Beautiful work.

[cafmodel]

Atalanta and Fly are very similar

[tlevine]

Yes, they are both Swan class ships.

First draft of clay sculpture

[knightyo]

Wow!  That is beautiful work.

[cafmodel]

It needs to be refined

[cafmodel]

[James H]

I can't wait to see this progress, Tom. 

 

How accurate to the real thing will frame construction be, and will it have a full interior?

[cafmodel]

Complete internal structure

Your kits seems to bring the hobby to a whole new level.

Hi Yves

Thank you very much for your attention

Now most young people are playing video games. There are fewer people making wooden sailboats. Part of the reason is that it's difficult to make.

(of most model toys, wooden sailboats are the most difficult to make.)

So I think how to reduce the difficulty of making the model so that more people can make a beautiful sailing boat, so that the industry can develop.

Hope to have more excellent works

Lovely, clean CNC work there Tom. That will certainly save the modeller time when it comes to building.
