I found some hull lines over Pirates Ahoy...

Modelling this one:

I don't plan to model it completely... just the main hull and deck, than I'll look for a more complete set of plans of some ship...

Seems nice, althought the size of the ship is not for overseas trading. That kind of small merchant ships were called coastal traders here in Finland. They usually kept the land on sight, since the boat was not suitable for large waves and stormy weather.

I was looking through all the ships the Swedish navy had and one name in particular cached my eye, a 44 gun frigate named Gripen. It means Griffin in English and I just thought it was a really good name for a ship. Good work man it looks great :)
