The Warrior Group consists of an e-mail
list and a web page with
members modeling HMS Warrior 1781 or other ships
using the
Harold Hahn method. Discussion includes all aspects of scratch
building model ships and advice and encouragement is offered
from members to
members on a variety of topics.
The e-mail list is located at:

Photo of John Rose's Warrior under
construction.
This model is being built using the Practicum published by the Pier
Books/Dupont Communication team. The model is being constructed
Admiralty style on
her starboard side and completely finished out
on the port side. She is
being constructed to historical data rather
than the original builders model
located in the NMM. The practicum
references the builders model but some
primary source material
and a enough historical data is available to build
the Warrior in
either fashion. The basic hull is constructed using the
Harold Hahn method
____________________________________________________________________________________________ Terry Godwin's model of the Cromwell
1777
The Oliver Cromwell was converted from
a merchant man to a
Privateer in 1776, in Philadelphia.
My model is being built using the
Harold Hahn method. She has been
under construction for over five years,
off and on. I anticipate the
model to be completed in 2003.

Gary Bishop's model of Alfred underway.
Alfred, showing her keel and Transom's
and a section of her midship frames being installed. This is how Alfred may
have looked those many many years ago in the ship yard as the shipwrights
were building her. Timber's laying on the ground waiting for the ship
wrights to
install are the knight heads and hawser timbers. Also if one looks close at
the frame laying on the dockyard one can see the parts and pieces that go to
make up one frame for Alfred. As far as keeping a close eye on her building,
is
one of the yard's officer closely looking her over.

Sovereign of The Seas (1637)
The photo shows some of the over two hundred and twenty boxwood
carvings that reside on the stern of the model. This representation of the
stern is taken from the portrait of Peter Pett and The Sovereign of The Seas
by Sir Peter Lely that resides in the National Maritime Museum
in Greenwich England.
