SaturnV Posted September 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2014 Does anyone have the indexes of what is in each of the Fully Framed Ship Model Swan Class books? I have the first book but I can't seem to find this information on the website for the other books..... Thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted September 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2014 Richard The index in volume two is several pages long so I will not detail it here, but basically Vol II continues the construction of the hull through completion. Volume III is basically a series of photos of Greg Herbert's build (Well worth having) and IV is masting and rigging.

Mike Y Posted September 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the information, Allan! It is a pity that there is no even brief description on seawatchbooks website. Just some "volume", whatever that means. Only the last volume is clearly described as "masting and rigging". That might actually stop people from buying a book because they are not sure what is inside.. Sorry for the rant I was going to buy only the first volume, because I was unsure if I need a second one. Now I know it, thanks to Allan, so I will buy first two volumes. Just a bit of extra information => plus one book in the customer order Edited September 17, 2014 by Mike Y SaturnV and mtaylor 2 Quote Current build: Beavers Prize - POF 1:48 (Hahn style) Side builds: Schooner Polotsk by Master Korabel 18th Century Longboat by MS Finished: 21ft English Pinnace by MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted September 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 17, 2014 Yes, Mike, the second volume is a continuation from Volume I to the completion of the hull and deck fittings. Volume III is a photo-essay showing Greg Herbert's excellent build of a Swan class model hull. Volume IV covers the masts, yards and rigging, including rigging and belaying plans.

SaturnV Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted September 18, 2014 Thank you Allen and druxey. Your descriptions are adequate for me to now make an informed decision. and Mike, you are correct, without any sort of idea of what I would be spending $70 on I have restrained from purchasing one. A missed sale for them. EricWilliamMarshall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Cowden Posted January 2, 2021 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2021 Where can I find volume II and the rest of the series for sale? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted January 2, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 2, 2021 When the site screen is a display for the whole of it, there is a column of links on the lower right. One of them is for Sea Watch Books. I just clicked the link and the entire series is still available. I would not depend on that being a long term situation. As I wrote in a parallel thread. my reading of the tea leaves, of signs and portents suggests that if you ever want any of the book listed there, sooner rather than later would be when you should place your order. I generally would purchase each year's new editions as a single order, so a large order is not unheard of there.
