After they were trashing Caf for 10 years as cheap and bad quality kits,now became suddenly high quality?Isn’t that telling you somenthing is fishy??
Alright,it was enough the politics ,lets not highjack further CAF’s log.

Hi Tom,
your 3D model is really fantastic. Is it based on the DOF drawing I send you? It's the first time I see the design in 3D. I have only one point: you should add the short toptimbers with the timberheads between the regular frames shortly. Also there are two blocks in the frameing you must add.

Yes, I agree with you, that it is looking very good - but I guess it is not carved, but a clay or another plastelin material
Interesting point - thanks for mentioning it.
I have one question:
I was looking around and found only these drawings of the Fly 1776
Are there other drawings f.e. the framing somewhere of the same Swan-class ?
BTW: This one is a high resolution with 55MB of the Fly drawing:
Written too early..... I found the Swan and Kingfisher
highly interesting this one:
once more a high resolution:
and this one of the Cygnet and other from this class (but from a later series of this class):
another very interesting drawing, which could of some help is this one:
Scale: 1:48. Plan showing external planking (in black ink) and internal planking (in red ink) layout for Hornet (1776), a 14-gun Sloop, as taken off while building. Hornet was launched in March 1776 at Deptford by Messrs Adam & Barnard.
Sorry to highjack your topic - but I thought it is interesting for some members and also underline your great work with your 3D-model - Great Work

Yes, there is a lot of work to do. Anyway, I'm not going out recently. I can draw pictures at ease.
there are two blocks in the frameing you must add.? Can you elaborate
This is the first draft of clay sculpture, which needs to be optimized
The arms and thighs need to be modified
Yes, he doesn't have much information, but there are many similar materials for reference
There was a lot of information left at that time, which was really great,
Unfortunately, China did not leave these materials at that time.
This may have something to do with our working mode at that time. Many shipbuilding skills were lost in history

The frameing Tom uses for his model is based on the Cygnet frameing. which was also the base for my reconstruction. There is a change in the DOF of first ships and all later ships, if you compare the room and space details.
@Uwek
Thanks for the find of the DOF of HMS Kingfisher. This drawing I've never seen before. Double and tripple frames in the center and than the normal double and single frame layout. Looks like an really interesting detail for a larger cross section.

oops, but what do I know.
It's used to make boxwood carvings
Did the British National Maritime Museum actually stamp original drawings?
As I know, all of the contemporary drawings, means all of them which are registered and archivated are stamped with handwritten registration number, the archive number and often, if known, the name of the ship. But these information are on the drawings already since long time, definitely before the existence of online archives....when you order to 1:1 copy from them you are getting such a drawing-copy also with this information.
f.e. see such a drawing copy photographed during our Vienna-modelers meeting
Sorry for highjacking your topic - back to the HMS Fly
