HMS Diana, Plank by Plank
A detailed reference archive documenting a 1:64 Caldercraft model of the 1794 frigate HMS Diana, from keel to rigging.
Field notes
The archive follows the model through named construction stages including keel and bulkheads, hull planking, coppering, guns, decks, and rigging. Its reference layer groups advice by technique, problem, dimension, material, source, and terminology, while the scale calculator connects model measurements to the full-size ship. The site also records kit-specific errors such as undersized or too-short strips and missing manual dimensions, making it useful beyond a simple chronological diary.
