    I downloaded the full build Triton in January of 2017. I have been going through the file list of the Triton full build drawing list and have found that several of the drawings are missing. Is there a way that I can get the missing PDF's for the build. Missing are belfry layout, binnacle, capstan details, capstan layout, wheel. 9poundercgn and carriage, stem 48 1, tapered keel, alternate aft deadwood, taffarel rev1,rudder, and  rudder iron work. These are the ones that I don't have. Can you help me out??

      Unfortunately they were lost in the crash.  Several are on the database site however.

      if I were to buy the plans from NRG would these files be in there? I have looked at the forum that you have posted, but there is nothing on the rudder or hardware.

    The structure is a plank on plank. So when I follow the directions they should not have me keeping the front at 3mm like on the sides. Let the wood follow it's own course ,is what that what you are saying? I have the simple hull planking guides from the site but it is different from the instructions. Should I follow those? thank you for the help.

    here are some photos of the problem.

    I'm work on the Swift 1805. I am at the point that I am planking the hull. The instructions say the start at 3mm below the top of the frames. Everything is good up to the frame #3. This is were when I go to #2 there is a bulge in the wood. I can't figure it out both sides do the same thing. I am using lime wood, it is dry. Any ideas!!

    Excellent work. Why the aluminium for the stern and bulwarks? Your work very good and I have to up my game to make better build models..
  23. mike0879
    It's amazing how just adding a little extra work can improve a model to be better. I like the looks of taking a simple kit to higher quality. I have an old life like model that I started many, many years ago. Now after seeing what you did I have to get it out and start finishing it to some higher standards. You have motivated me.
  24. mike0879
    Very nice work. You have done an excellent job of building this cross section. Looking forward to see the finished model.

    Hey thanks for the reply. I will check out there builds. Michael

    Hi Kellrandy I am getting ready to start working on the Triton. I noticed that in some areas it looks like the deadwood is thinner than the Keel. Is this just my imagination? I know that you have to cut in the steps for the cants, so I was thinking that the deadwood above the steps is thinner for clearance. Am I on the right track? This will be my first scratch build so I want to make sure I am looking at things correctly. Need to learn how to read these plans. Thanks Michael

    Been following your posts and thing look great. I like the the use of the mahogany. Keep up the good work.
  28. mike0879
    Keep up the good work. Hope to see more build logs.

    Thank you for the help. Also where is a good place to get the pulley's dead eye and all the other stuff. I like to deal with someone who has used one of the vendors.
