Does anyone have a good idea on how to make HMS Newcastle 1813?

It is a 50 gun heavy frigate. I was thinking of using a Portland to make it, or maybe the Constitution?

I've suggested Newcastle as a Side B for a Humphreys Superfrigate release of HMS President. Constitution would be a better start--per David Manley, the differences are something you have to know exactly what to look for, and while they stand out to those who know the uninitiated would easily miss them.

If you take it on Hugh, do produce a "How to" as you go and I will post it up for you at the end.

It is almost exactly the same size as the constitution. But as the constitutions model is about 1cm too long I'm disinclined to use it. What else would be appropriate do you think?

What!?! When and where did that model mistake get posted?

While I'm not going to go hunting for an ancient post when I originally got my Constitution I thought it was too large compared to HMS Victory, which we all would have received at the same time. 6mm is a significant difference and not something easily corrected. My faith in Ares is going down the tubes.
