You might also want to browse my website to see additional photos of my construction of the Hannah model as well as some other models I've designed in AutoCAD and buit from scratch. The drawings can be downloaded from my website at . Some of these drawings would not fit on a single sheet of paper, so 2 or 3 drawings were created that can be taped together to form the complete drawing (using the black reference lines found on both halves).

All drawings needed to build the model are included in PDF format and can be printed on standard 8-1/2" x 11" bond paper.

I am providing a complete set of my CAD drawings for this Instructable in a ZIP file. Photos of some of my CAD work are shown with this step. Using Chappelle's body plan and waterlines, I was able to loft a set of frame drawings for my model.
Chappelle, who is no longer alive, however, many of the books he wrote on naval architecture are still found in bookstores today.
These drawings were drawn by a gentleman by the name of Howard I. A body plan and waterline drawing for a Colonial Fishing Schooner very similar to the Hannah. After doing some additional research I was able to find the two key drawings needed to loft a set of frame drawings. For this model, I needed to create the frame drawings in particular. To build this model, a set of plans are needed. Additional information on milling the wood will be covered in the next step of these instructions. Milling the wood to the dimensions needed to build this model does require a miniature table saw and a regular woodworking table saw or band saw. The black wood across the hull is ebony.Īll of these woods can be obtained through Gilmer Wood (mentioned above). The pinkinsh wood is called Swiss Pear and is also used for the upper planking, mouldings and some of the deck furniture. Some of the outer planking is Virginia holly, a very clear, white wood, as is the deck planking. It's a kind of tree that grows in various parts of the world and has virtually no visible grain and is very hard. This is not the same boxwood shrub that might grow in your yard. The frames, keel, and some of the outer planking are made of a wood known in the hobby as boxwood. They sell all kinds of wood including woods that are well suited for model ship building. But they are readily available through certain exotic wood importers such as . In other words, you can't run down to your local home improvement store and buy them. The woods used in this model are not your garden variety of woods.
This particular model is not what we modelers call "historically correct" because the framework that makes up the hull is a stylized method of framing and not an actual duplication of the historical framework used.
"Plank on Frame" means that the planking on the hull is laid across actual frames that are similar to the actual frames of a real ship of this time period. The first photo shows what the finished model will look like. It was the first ship in George Washington's Navy. The ship I've chosen for this Instructable is known as the Hannah.

I want to share with you a very detailed set of instructions on how to build a fairly simple "Plank on Frame" model ship. I've been building these wonderful models for over 23 years now. Welcome! My name is Bob Hunt and I build model ships for a hobby.
