Modelship Dockyard - New Kit PoF 1:96 H.M.S. Enterprize 1774 by Modelship Dockyard

[Jack Sparrow]

If you are interested there are high resolution drawings of the Enterprize (28) 1774 class, including the deck plans that were actually on the ship. Below is the hold with the platforms as an example. Go to the Wiki Commons website and go to page 8. Be careful, the first couple deck drawings for Enterprize are for after her conversion to a receiving ship which would not be appropriate for your build but the class drawings are there as well along with the names of the ships of the class. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ship_plans_of_the_Royal_Museums_Greenwich There is no high res of the inboard profile on the Wiki site but you can use these deck drawings in conjunction with the low resolution inboard profile that is on the RMG Collections site. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/Enterprize

I had a look at the instuctions and compared the cabins there to the ones in the photos above. The ones in the photos above are different. I wonder if it's a question of artistic license or the instructions are out of date.

There were all together 27 ships of this class build, launched over a period of 12 years -> so I am pretty sure, that they also adjusted partly the interiors / cabins according the needs

HMS Enterprise / Enterprize (1774 - 1807) / 28-gun frigate / Enterprise class

HMS Enterprise (1774 - 1807) / 28-gun frigate / Enterprise class HMS Enterprise (also often spelled 'HMS Enterprize') was a 28 gun, 6th rate frigate built for the Royal Navy by the Royal Dockyard at Deptford. She was the lead ship of the Enterprise class of 27 small sailing frigates. The 6th...

The model I made for the video instructions have finished, here are some images. The videos will be updated soon.
I won't say it's a perfect build, in general it looks good, but there are still some minor defects if look into details. A 75 out of 100 build overall I would say.
I hope these images can give some inspirations to players who are currently working on the Enterprize.

a very good looking model - especially having in mind that it is "only" 1:96
Very good work - worth some more points than the given 75....

Hello,
Are you planning to make more videos? I watched your first 6 on youtube and found them well made.

 

[Jack Sparrow]

Hello,
Was the upper transom painted in gold? I am trying to figure out how to finish it.

Great idea with these template - bulkheads to define the correct locations for the inner planking, beams etc.
- often this is a problem and you deliver a solution for this problem to define the correct heights inside the hull

Great idea for an area us beginners struggle with

I believe that a scriber block or surface gauge does a much better job providing that the hull is on a perfectly level surface.

The supplied templates only cover one side of the ship and many templates need to be faired in order to fit correctly. If they are later reversed to mark the other side of the inner hull they can't be 'un-faired', and altered for the opposite side of the hull, if you see my point!
Also, if the hull interior is not perfectly symmetrical, or the construction thus far is not very accurate, the templates will mark different heights on each side of the hull as the templates will effectively rotate around the hull's longitudinal axis, or be displaced in height.

Make the copy of the template before you alter it to "fit" on one side or the other.

Agreed, this solves the problem of fairing, but any lack of perfect symmetry would still rotate, or displace, the template?
