Frigate model
-
Do you have a source for reference photos, or at least a more specific description to do some research on it?

Nice model Carsten although your mixing of German and English in the title is driving me nuts.
Fregatte-Frigate=Fregate
Years of proof reading translations drives me to this.Couldn't resist a little play with your model.

As far as I know it is called Frigate "Chapman 40"...

Thanks.
I found the PDF's but apparently he didn't take it any further than you did
I was hoping for something that I could use to maybe finish the model, guess I'll have to do some more digging. -
Also found a site where you can download the files necessary to create the frame on a CNC machine
http://www.john-tom.com/FrameKits.html
it's the second model down
For several years I programmed horizontal CNC mills, I loved those machines and always wanted to have a small one for myself. It's on my bucket list somewhere

this is beautiful? which software you used for rendering

Thank you, Daniel.

A fascinating model.
I've struggled with wooden ship models in AutoCAD, which I suspect many of you know has a fairly unfriendy interface, but does have the ability to manage fairly complex splines in 3d space.
How do you create the complex curves needed with Sketchup?

I've used some plans like those showed by Hellnbak here, imported them (PDF -> Inkscalpe -> DXF-> SU) and improved the lines with Fredos Curviloft. After that, some pushpulls and moves and it was finished...

Have you used Fredo's Bezier Spline tools.

http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=BezierSplineSo that's what that does! Heck, I may have to give that a try

What is Inkscalp: inkscape ?
Very cool model!
A cool list of boat building program!

Just curious -
I know nothing about ship construction, but wouldn't the ribs need to be tapered to allow for proper attachment of the hull planks?
