H.M.S Minerva plank on frame 1/48 scale - Prototype Pilot Model

[DaHaimodel]

Hi Paul,
The scantling of fourth futtocks , i use ，sided 11" (about 5.82mm if 1:48 scale), moulded at the upper deck 8"(about 4.23mm if 1:48 scale). There is a certain reduction to the end of the top timber.

This is the drawing of L'Artesian 64 Guns. I have measured it and the size seems to be Sided at top end about 6.62mm，moulded at the upper deck about 4.61mm.

Been busy this weekend and finished assembling the current batch of frames. I have tacked them in place to the keel but there is wiggle room to adjust the frames into the correct profile.
Next job is to align everything with the framing jig and construct the gunport frames. Happy days.

Nice progress, and looking fantastic!

This means that the original frames have there a thickness of 11.5'' The Minerva class were a 38gun ships. Following Steel the top timbers should have a frame thickness of 10.25''. The other futtocks are thicker. So 6mm is absolut ok.

French ships have allways double frames. In my opinio 9mm is the thickness of such a double frame.

Impressive progress here! Hours and hours of 'gluing up.'

Bryian.

So impressive following a log such as your!!
Superb work literally building the hull framing plank-by-plank - Don't think that my skill set will ever allow for anything of this caliber.
A pleasure to following....

Cheers,

interesting, I just measured La Renommee's they are 9mm at a 1/48 scale

La Renommee was french build ship with usually only double frames from stern to bow
HMS Minerva was english build with single double and triple frames
so you can not compare even in the same scale - a different construction of the framing already by the real ships

Very promising kit - and highly interesting to build (I think)

Hi Brian. Now this is what I call progress. What a beautiful hull you are constructing - you must be champing at the bit to continue.

Hi guys,
I have been in discussion with Dahai model from Hangzhou China for the last 12 months with the development of their first model kit of H.M.S Minerva.
I was delighted to receive the first chapter of this kit today, and it only took 10 days from China to Australia.
