CAF-HMS FLY 1776 1:48

I always wanted to challenge myself. I got some drawings by chance.（Thanks for the gift from my good friend）

This is a British Royal frigate. It should belong to Swan class. Its decoration is gorgeous. Yes, that's his charm

I will show his skeleton meticulously, which is very important and also a difficult challenge



First of all, determine his length. These drawings are so perfect that each one has a very clear scale.



This is 100 feet，



Building his frame, he has a very detailed outline

Hi
This project has now been completed to the main deck stage, and has been started since last year. I am carrying out 3-4 projects at the same time, and some projects involving copyright issues will be gradually cancelled

That's excellent news and certainly a step in the right direction.
I think you have well and truly proven that you are more than capable of producing world class kits that stand on their own merit

We are working in the background with Caf and other Chinese mfg’s to fix and figure out any copy right issues .

I have contacted Mr. David and got permission to build my HMS fly

He was very friendly and helped a lot. It was he who urged me to change the copyright.

Hi,

I worked a few years ago on a reconstruction of the Fly. I reconstructed every line with arcs as in the old time.
I love your 3D work. I did everything in 2D.
There are some small alterations between Fly and other ships of the class. If you're interested, I can show you my version.

His HMS alert is very good

I mean the Sheer and Profile plan. Then I worked on the Disposition of Frames. HMS Fly has two oars-ports less, then other ships of the class. Other alteration is the after deadwood.
