RossR Posted October 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2022 I am currently building my first model, HMS Beagle from Occre. Going pretty well. I have made a few mistakes including one big one on the main mast, but have learned a lot. I started about 10 months ago and am currently about half way through the rigging. I hope to be done after Christmas. I will be starting the Frigate Diana next and I am planning on creating a build log as I go. bruce d, ccoyle, Dave_E and 5 others 8 Quote Completed Build: HMS Beagle - Occre Current Build: Frigate Diana - Occre https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33530-frigate-diana-by-rossr-occre-185/ On the Shelf: Santisima Trinidad Cross Section - Occre, NRG Half Hull, the US Brig Syren - Model Shipways and USF Essex - Model Shipways.

allanyed Posted October 27, 2022 Share #7 Posted October 27, 2022 Welcome Ross!! For a first build, your model looks very nice. For your next project which Diana are you planning to build? If the one from 1794 have you acquired a copy of the Anatomy of the Ship book on the Diana by David White? It will help you with the details. There are a lot of contemporary drawings of the Artois class of which Diana was one on the RMG Collections website that you might find helpful. There 8 photos of a contemporary model of the Diana 1794 as well www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66303 Looking forward to your build log!

bruce d Posted October 27, 2022 Share #8 Posted October 27, 2022 Hello Ross and a warm welcome to MSW from the UK. Your Beagle looks good, why not consider a build log for her? There is no rule that says you have to start at the beginning!

RossR Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted October 27, 2022 The Diana I am building is the Spanish Frigate Diana that was built in 1792 not the British ship. Thanks for the tip though. I would love to find more information about the ship I am building if anyone has any suggestions. bruce d, mtaylor, Keith Black and 1 other 4 Quote Completed Build: HMS Beagle - Occre Current Build: Frigate Diana - Occre https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33530-frigate-diana-by-rossr-occre-185/ On the Shelf: Santisima Trinidad Cross Section - Occre, NRG Half Hull, the US Brig Syren - Model Shipways and USF Essex - Model Shipways.

Small things like making belaying pins to scale and realistic looking gratings can be kit bashed though. Looking forward to your build log!
