38-gun frigate HMS "Naiad" 1797 1/48

 
Beautiful job, excellent workmanship. My only question regards the double wheel. My research, and that of Kroum Batchvarov indicates that a single wheel was used. You scan check Batchvarov's "The Ship's Wheel" on his site.

Very nice, must have taken many man hours of intricate work. I'm now at the stage of sanding down the framing on my project which is a scratch build of HMS Dolphin 1731 from drawings at 1/64 from the Greenwich Maritime Museum, the sanding down of the external framing to quite easy, however the internal sanding down of the frames is more difficult, any hints would be appreciated.

You can also use scrapers to “sand” or work on the inside, which is a bit more time-consuming but more precise.
