DocBlake Posted February 24, 2015 #1 Posted February 24, 2015 Does anyone know of masking and rigging plans for the "Oliver Cromwell"? The Hahn plans at the Lumberyard don't include them.

allastairj Posted March 31, 2015 #3 Posted March 31, 2015 I have a model ship book with diagrams and rigging details if you require I `ll look for it and give more description.
michaelpsutton2 Posted March 31, 2015 #4 Posted March 31, 2015 Have you looked in "Ships of the American Revolution" by Hahn. I know the plans are in there. Drown you may, but go you must and your reward shall be a man's pay or a hero's grave
mtaylor Posted March 31, 2015 #5 Posted March 31, 2015 The rigging plans aren't in the book. I'd send the Lumberyard and e-mail and ask them. Not all plan sheets are on the website.

CGN39BCO Posted April 6, 2015 #6 Posted April 6, 2015 There's a basic rigging plan in Grimwood's American Ship Models, facing page 113. The author suggests "The dimensions of the Oliver Cromwell's spars can be scaled from the rigging plan." Lee's The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625-1860 or Marquardt's Eighteen Century Rigs and Rigging would probably reasonable guides to details of the spars and rigging details. mtaylor 1
