druxey Posted October 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2020 An interesting assortment! Many of the models seem to be sailor-made. bruce d, Ryland Craze and mtaylor 3 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss frolick Posted October 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2020 I’d like to see more pics of that Brig Rattlesnake model of 1812! That is the only contemporary visual representation known of her. She shared similar lines with the Argus, but was built by Edward Hardt as a privateer and bought by the navy. mtaylor and bruce d 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find another image (yet) but you may be tantalised by item 77 on page 36 of this ... b1479729.pdf ... and perhaps a copy exists?

uss frolick Posted October 8, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 8, 2020 Unfortunately, no. That was painted in 1828, probably long after the USS Rattlesnake was broken up, and way too large vessel carrying 28 guns. The RN had many Rattlesnakes, and that is surely another. But it does sound like a nice painting, however, by Antione Roux, no less. The catalog's author seemed duly impressed with his painting. Here is the Atholl-Class 28-gun ship of the same name, built in 1822, painted by Sir Oswald Walters Brierly. This was probably the ship pictured there. mtaylor, druxey and bruce d 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss frolick Posted October 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted October 9, 2020 Here is the Rattlesnake model in question, enlarged as much as is possible: [url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRidUp][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50440982983_554872ab82_b.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRidUp]0-2[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/165793220@N04/]Stephen Duffy[/url], on Flickr [url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRifh4][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50440987603_bfb3e7ffa6_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRifh4]0[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/165793220@N04/]Stephen Duffy[/url], on Flickr [url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRmPAv][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50441685021_ea2c812f62_h.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2jRmPAv]0-1[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/165793220@N04/]Stephen Duffy[/url], on Flickr Remember, this was 1920. There were no books available then by Howard Chapelle or Charles Davis. Nobody layman model builder knew of the National Archives resources, and the Admiralty draughts in London were still inaccessible and not yet unclassified. Yet these models were old in 1920 , so what did they use to build them, I wonder. The USS Delaware, 74 model actually looks pretty good.

Oh no, this was in reference to uss frolick who tried to post some Flickr links but they got jumbled up in the copy/paste. I pulled the links out so you could see the images from Flickr but I couldn’t get the link to the Flickr user page who the links came from to work. mtaylor and bruce d 2 Quote Current Build: HM Sloop Echo 1781 (First Scratch Build) Previous Builds: HM Cutter Alert, Sharpie Schooner, Chesapeake Bay Flattie, Half-Hull (NRG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
