Alex Connor Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Very nice model Well, the bulwarks are quite distinctively Danish and a ship that looks French but not quite French means Danish, so it was just a question of looking for a matching armament on threedecks and Freya/Thetis/Iris fit the bill. I ran those names through the rmg collection and found plans for Iris, which was a perfect match for the model apart from later style raised bulwarks and a slightly different stern. So, got to be Freya or Thetis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 8 hours ago, BungeeLemming said: Once you recognize the stern its easy. Strikingly danish design. Used by so so many frigates in those days. Do you mean the shape of the stern underneath her counter? I thought the style of the stern windows looked British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Idenfatigable: danish frigs for the most part: The sternplate - that framing piece which defines the conture is very evenly rounded. The windows rather thinn. Its how Id define a typical danish stern in the late 1700s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Armstrong Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Wow, her hull shape is even prettier than I always thought it would be just looking at the plan-looking forward to seeing her take shape more!

Snutler Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 @BungeeLemming might be a dumb question, but it looks like Freja had two port holes in the stern. Is that port holes, or just a part of the decoration on the ship? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
