Chapman Frigate

[polydoc]

This model was built from the plans in Chapman's Architectura Navalis, Plate 33, Plan 2. The scale is 1/64. The plan shows a design for a swiveling carriage for the guns. Carriages were built per the plan and one cannon was shown run out and one in storage . An opening was left in the deck so the carriages could be seen.

A correction to my first post. The scale is 1/96 and the hull is 22.2" between perpendiculars.

Hi polydoc,

I was able to acquire a 3d cut plan of this boat, unfortunately only the hull, if you don't mind me asking did you made yours from scratch?

Thanks!

Yes it was scratch built by the plank on bulkhead method for the hull. I made this a long time ago, but if you have any questions I will try to answer them.
