American Frigates

[Diamondback]

Hey Rob, would you mind taking a look at the plates in the PDF linked above and comment about if there are any ships you'd be comfortable passing off as each other? We're probably only gonna get at best ONE sculpt for anything smaller than the Hornet-Peacock-Ontario Group, so we need as big of a tolerable cluster for large schooners and small brigs as we can get, even with me planning to cheat and use the enlarged rebuild of Enterprise as "base hull" to get us above the 28m floor.

If all those are to the same scale I would be happy to accept any of them as each other for the non purists amongst us.
Seems tat they come in twogroups really. Argus, Constallation Essex and new York look pretty much alike save the rails and that is easy to alter if you care that much. Vixen and Wasp certainly have a different hull profile, but the difference seems to be mainly below the waterline so would probably not matter too much to us. If we can get any ships built I would frankly settle for a generic one chosen from any of the above.
Why not stick this in the Admiralty and ask for opinions there, or even PM the Stats Committee for a crit if they are not reading this post. So far at some time, apart from we two, the following have either visited or answered this thread:-
