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

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.

Oh yes, I know what you mean...

Thank you, I've used Indigo Renderer.

Excellent model, but what happened to the fregate?

(just kidding)Thank you. Fregate was killed by Box

great model and render, Carsten!
have a good weekend!

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

Grossartig - sorry, GREAT !!!

Dank you

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?
-
Yes, absolutely.
However, the ribs typically are cut and erected square and hand reshaped prior to the attachment of the planking. Very often ships were planked (or "ceiled") inside as well so they would be tapered on both sides.
