Hi all,

I am a relative newby to this forum. Momentarily i am in the prepatory state of scratchbuilding an Artois class frigate like the model in the Museo naval de Madrid. I particularly like the plain stern and the look of the model. The first stage for me know is to get a "feel' for the dimensions and an idea for quantity of building material. Therefore i will be building the ship digitally in Blender first (somewhere down the line i will start the physical model).

Here's a screenshot of the first stage. Looking for the overall dimensions of the hull and interpreting the drawings. Dimensions are not to scale.
