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??
Yes, I agree with you, that it is looking very good - but I guess it is not carved, but a clay or another plastelin materialCarving is superb- another model to look forward to.
Interesting point - thanks for mentioning it.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, there is a lot of work to do. Anyway, I'm not going out recently. I can draw pictures at ease.Hi Tom,

This is the first draft of clay sculpture, which needs to be optimizedCarving is superb- another model to look forward to.
Yes, he doesn't have much information, but there are many similar materials for referenceInteresting 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:
Than I am very happy, that I posted this drawingThe 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.This is the first draft of clay sculpture, which needs to be optimized
The arms and thighs need to be modified
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.Did the British National Maritime Museum actually stamp original drawings?
