a.sorolla Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Hi I write to justify the lack of news on this subject. I spent many months preparing the monograph of this Spanish frigate, using the plans of Fermín Urtizberea. I hope to have the texts completed in two months, by the publisher ANCRE, soon. The monograph consists of 38 plans at 1:48, commented, and the inclusion of many 3D drawings to serve as a guide when making the model, as well as as as a historical part that introduces us into the era of its construction and its career. I’m putting in excerpts from the monograph, the book that accompanies the plans. I wish you a happy new year Adrián Sorolla Edited December 28, 2020 by a.sorolla GrandpaPhil, Siggi52, dvm27 and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.sorolla Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share #52 Posted May 29, 2023 Hi In the previous message he showed that he was mechanizing the woods that form the water ways of the deck main of the frigate La Mahonesa, now this one is installed water ways, I put 2 photos taken from stern to bow and the other from bow to stern. The next step for which I am preparing the woods, is the placement of the two water ways (against), this which is stuck to the side, and in the center the installation of the two sets of binding streaks, all these parts together with the knee deck are the main part of the structure of the deck, and since it is a battery deck are robust parts. In a 3D graph of Fermín, in marked all these pieces for a better identification, which I guess will be useful to those who are not yet familiar with this type of structures. The gutter ledges of the beams and ledges, will be installed then, and as final will cover the remaining space with tracks of boards of lesser thickness In a zoom of the deck over the central area, (in the mid ship frame), we see where there is the investment of the layout of the structure, here in the deck is visible in the placement of the gutter ledges, we appreciate the shroud on one side of the beams, and more to the bottom in the same face of the bao is a notch, to insert the gutter ledges, the two halves look at the mid ship frame.

Hello The name of this frigate was " Santa Monica" alias "La Mahonesa" because it was built in the port of "Mahon" on the island of Manorca in the Baleares Islands in Spain Though not far from the denomiation of "Mayonnaise", which is the deformation of the name of a salsa called "mahonesa", which was made on the same island of menorca, during the time that this belonged to England and is known internationally.
