Kai hello,I live in oslo,small world,I have some books about rigging to,and I find a little difficult to calculate the mast hight of diana, scale 1:64. I am planing to do some scratch build of hms surprise (ex untite,french frigate),I have the orginal drawings, and I was thinking to use the diana masting/rigging plan, with some modifications,dianas masts is a little bitt high for my build I think. I wil just use the plans as a guide. I have a lot of books to,so if anyone have some plans or some input/info it wil help. And I will try to read a little bit more about rigging of 1700/1800 centry ship models. thanks Helge,oslo,norway mtaylor 1 Quote
crayfish Posted March 11, 2020 #4 Posted March 11, 2020 Yes, it is a small world. Have you got "The elements and practice of rigging, seamanship, and naval tactics" by David Steel, vol 1 written year 1800 , reprinted 2011. ( ISBN 978-1-108-02651-2 ) I am certain you find everything you need in there mtaylor 1 Quote
Jaager Posted March 11, 2020 #5 Posted March 11, 2020 If it is HMS Diana frigate 1793 - there are copies of the Anatomy of the Ship volume for this ship available as second hand copies. The masting and rigging are covered, but the are bound plans. mtaylor 1 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.
