Hi Tom,
we would love to see some photos of your HMS Bellona kit in close up detail too. Its a bit difficult to see clearly from the ebay photos.

thank you.

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.

Thank you very much. I have noticed your question

Hi Tom,

which drawing do you placed behind my reconstruction? It's not HM Sloop Fly. This are some of the small differences between the ships of the class.

 

[CAFmodel]

I see. I'll check Atlanta or swans. It's very interesting. It's similar to solving puzzles

 

[CAFmodel]

I found this book. It's free. It can be used to build ribs

 

[CAFmodel]

this book is very good

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Be careful with the systematic shown in the first book. Fly and the other ships of the class after Cygnet use only single frames. The double frames are build thru the spacers, which connect the single frames.

Thank you very much for reminding me。I need to restore this structure in detail

Very impressed by your research and hard work. This also shows the point I have been thinking regarding use of FREE historical information to develop a model kit. It is sad that some people in the hobby continue to try and restrict fair use and innovation only for their own greedy reasons.

Bravo to CAF. By making these detailed CAD drawings you are doing more for the preservation of history than any of the people who seek to defame you. Keep up the great work!,

100% in agreement MIKE, well said, I have been advocating new technology for a couple of years now, also so tired of seeing 30 and 40 year old kits with very little changes these that do not go with modern TECH are going to go like A/L, grab hold of the new take advantage of modern tech. and see what happens, keep it going CAF and TRIDENT MODELS, BRAVO.

I'd better finish the design before discussing the copyright.
According to the plan, this kit will completely restore the construction of the real ship, which is very difficult. I will carry out production test on several key parts, and then I will purchase the commercial copyright after I have finished.

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

I wish you a lot of fun by this work. I have a complete reconstruction of the framework. Expecially the different thickness of the futtocks made a lot of work.

 

[CAFmodel]

Yes, British ships have more complicated ribs than French ships

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

But to find a possible solution is an experience and makes me a lot fun.

 

[CAFmodel]

Yes, especially the large amount of historical data preserved by Britain and France (I haven't collected the data of other European countries) so it provides us with the basis for our production. China also had excellent ocean going ships in the 15th century, and now there are still descendants of the crew in Africa. Unfortunately, many wars and damages in modern China have lost a lot, of course, there are many other reasons.

It's nice to see my design in 3D. Have you found a mistake? Then I can update my drawing
