I hope that the community will have some new Ships soon.

If you want to do one the Chapman ships, I suggest plate 31/32, very detailed, one of the best plans I´ve seen.

Hello,

Sorry i don't do modding. But another good source is "Ships of the American Revolution, and their Models" by Harlod Hahn.

The author covers seven different ships ranging from a Brig upto a 74 gun Ship of the Line. The book also contains some line drawings of the ships and construction photos of the models. Three of the ships in the the book are the 32gun Colonial frigate Hancock, the 36 gun Colonial frigate Confederacy and the 74 gun HMS Alfred.

Might be able to find it at a library.

Greg.
