Papa Posted May 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2023 In researching my family history I determined that my 8th great grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, was in command of the HMS Charles in 1673. Now I need to make a model of this ship. Attached is a painting I found of her on-line druxey, Haliburton, dafi and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martes Posted May 11, 2023 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) There is a plan in RMG collection (it is probably a later, 18th century copy or a reconstruction, but that's the closest you can get): https://prints.rmg.co.uk/products/lines-plan-for-vessel-charles-galley-1676-j6899 And a couple of portraits by Van de Velde: Edited May 11, 2023 by Martes Papa, barkeater, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted May 11, 2023 Thank you. I did see that plan. But that would be a very ambitious scratch build for me. I doubt that i would live long enough to complete it. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted May 11, 2023 Share #4 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Mr. Papa I built a model of her for a client two years ago and did a complete set of drawings based on drawings from RMG, discussions which Richard Endsor, drawings from Mr. Endsor's books and various other books from Goodwin & Lavery, as well as a contemporary contract of a similar ship from 1676. There is short build log here at MSW if you are interested. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28125-17th-century-british-galley-friggot-by-allanyed-164/ If you are in need of any or all of my files, please let me know.
