I am in the process of starting a build on the model ship Hawkins Gunboat No3 by Dikar. Nice model, horrible plans!
When I received the kit, the false keel was severely damaged (had to create a new one), and the frames were not included[?]
The construction sheets did not include body lines so that I might be able to construct a new set of frames
by using the graph method. Question: Is there anyway, to create frames if you don't have body lines on the plans?
In 1988 and 1989 Ships in Scale published in their (Nov-Dec, Jan-Feb 1988, and Jan-Feb 1989) publications a wonderful build
by a gentleman by the name of John J. Magno, regarding the Hawkins Gunboat No3 from start to finish including sail making.
If I could possibly find out a way to construct the frames, I feel it would be a most enjoyable build. So, if anyone has
any suggestions, ideas or has completed this kit it would most truly be appreciated. Best, wayne.
