Christian,
I am not fully convinced about the correctness of your given information. Or maybe better - I am not sure, if the way you described is looking really good on the model.
Let me explain my situation and my planned way
As mentioned earlier I want to follow in some principle ways the existing model of Lightley
www.rmg.co.uk
In the Anatomy book are some detail photos printed giving a closer look at the treenailing made by the modeler.
Here the modeler made only on some areas treenails, definitely not at every frame of a double frame. He did not follow really the framing. So not a good reference.
In the Anatomy book Goodwin is showing only some treenails above the waterline
So not helping us very much
You mentioned to make two nails on each connection with every single frame, means on double frames four and on triple frames (which we have also on this model) six nails - this would look like this
This would be a lot of nails, and I am unsure, if this was technically on the real ships really necessary - from which source do you have this information? I am eager to learn. I am also in moment not aware, if there is any model existing showing such a nailing, or a modeler doing the nailing in this way.
But I think, that already based on the estethical point I will only double nail each connection between a plank and a frame (single, double or triple) - something like this one
In addition, just to make some brainstorming and collect information:
OK, it is french, but the technical necessity was the same.
French 74-gun ship by Jean Boudriot, with their typical double framing all over the ship is showing also only two nails (wood plus metal) per double frame
"each plank is fatsened to each BEND by a nail and a treenailin staggered row"
