Like Zoly mentioned already - yes the rigging plans are available, also the belaying points, list of blocks and rigging lines.....I think every thing what is necessary to build a masted and rigged model. But maybe our member @G. DELACROIX can explain in detail.
 
Hello,

The monograph is indeed complete, everything is planned to build a museum-type model.
Not to mention the frame part, the information intended for the development of the rigging is detailed and includes all the necessary elements.
For the text, you will find the description of each rope with its size and its course, the size of the blocks required and its specific details.
For the drawings, the drawing of each block or elements of the rigging is represented according to its size, the position on the yard, the complete drawing of all the sails with the detail of their manufacture.
You are currently working on L'Artésien, the monograph of L'Egyptienne is of the same type, "à la française", perhaps a little more complete.

@zoly99sask
in which scale ?
Click to expand...
I guess the decision of the scale of a model of this ship will depend also on the available space in the workshop.

f.e. the really big Saint Philippe (the model our friend Nigel @NMBROOK is in moment working) in the same scale:

So the hull has the same length, fully rigged the frigate is longer...... Exclamation-Mark Exclamation-Mark

So we do not underestimate this frigate......
 
I think the measures are not correct. But its not the first time that the measures on the site are incorrect.
The Hull was maybe 40-45 Meters. A spanisch threedecker has 60m

This class of frigate was really long - just checked the information given by Gérard in the monograph:

"The dimensions of the hull, provided in the official documents and corroborated by the English measurements are:
length between perpendiculars 51,97m (160 pieds), width at the centre frame 12,99m (40 pieds)......."

comparing to the Saint Philippe, a 90 gun french 3-decker we have similar length -> so the data of model lengths by ancre seems correct.
I will check and measure on the drawings
 
G. DELACROIX said:
Hello,

There is no mistake on the ANCRE site, the overall length is 61.96 m from the figurehead to the skiff at the stern.
This length reduced to 1/48 really gives 1.29 m.
It should be noted that the 24' frigates are very large ships, as long as 74' vessels.
