Hello guys, a little update on planking, I have switched to starboard side.

​

Also on the port side, I did a little sanding, I made the gunports flush with the planking.

@zoly99sask You are moving along quickly.

Thanks Jim ,but this is very slow progress for me,I can’t find time to work on her more.

 

[Jimsky]

This is totally understandable, Zoly. I am in the same shoes. However, let's not forget it is a hobby. Enjoy every bit of it!

Both the Ontario and the Royal George were built by the same master shipwright Jonathan Coleman. He was a trained shipwright and served in the Royal yards in England. Both ships seem to have the same style and I would think the same construction. Both were armed transports built for lake service, but it seems the design of the R.G. has a slightly more bend towards a fighting ship a little lower profile and a third mast. Sterns and body plans look very close. I have CAD drawings of both ships in my archives than can be used for plank on frame or plank on bulkhead models. I am more than willing to share whatever research material and drawings I have

Hi zoly,

I think I see a new topic.
Why not a topic cad files for sale or share?
I think we have a lot of people in the group making cad drawings and putting in a lot of time and effort. Definately there are also a lot of people looking for these files and willing to pay a fee for using them to build a ship and dont have time ot knowledge to create their own cad drawing, which is also a hobby on its own.
