qwerty2008 got a reaction from mtaylor in Byzantium by qwerty2008 - Scale 1:20 - RADIO - based on the Pride of Baltimore
I wonder when my airbags will go off, ooh that must have been them, am I upside down? I wonder if my door still works, no, I guess not, I'll kick it open, well that didn't work, I'm gonna have to climb out the window.
Essentially my whole thought process.

Rolling your car is always fun. think about the best roller coaster you've been on then add it the middle of a trip to Harbor Freight.

No one was hurt, but my car has seen better days. There was a construction zone where the stoplights were messed up and I got hit. It was however the funnest thing that has happened to me recently.

Lextin, I must be getting old because I can't imagine how that must be fun....🤔!
Glad you and everyone else are fine, though.
Happy driving.
Cheers

Hi Lextin
What the?????? I knew the Airforce flies fast, but, I didn't think you could fly THAT fast.
What happened and I hope you're ok? No one else was hurt?
Cheers

Well I wrecked my car today, but on the bright side I now have all three of my 3D printers op and running.

Finally found a set of those plans on ebay, of all places.
They want $60 with shipping, and right when car registration and insurance are due, so, so much for that idea.

I made a lower offer and the seller accepted it, and upon learning what I needed them for, seemed very happy about it.
So, I guess there may be some entries in this log soon - at last!

The plans arrived after a 7 day tour of central Maryland - thank goodness for Priority Mail!
I had one page scanned at Office Depot, which cost all of $8 USD, and not the astronomical price Independence estimated it would. I'll get the other pages scanned later not only to re-scale, but to preserve them because they apparently hadn't heard of acid free paper back in 1971 and these are showing some age.
Checking my scan with the paper version to make sure nothing was distorted beyond usability, I found my other drawings based on greatly enlarged images and photos were off, not a lot, but more than I would have preferred.
I started working on scale drawings to work from, which I'll have printed when they're complete, including a pattern for each form, keel, keelson, deck arrangement, and the spar and rigging plan - all full size.
Based on this more accurate information, Gazela, at 1:36 scale, will actually be the smallest of my models. (Pride is 1:20 scale)
Length on deck: 50 inches (127cm) Length of hull: 51.3 inches (130.3cm) Beam: 8.8 inches (22.4cm) Beam over the rig (main yard): 18.67 inches (47.4cm) Length over the rig: 59.3 inches (150.6cm) Height overall (less ballast keel): 35.7 inches (90.7cm) Depth (less ballast keel): 5.3 inches (13.5cm) Sail area: c. 247.5 sq inches -

Thanks for the comments. I don't get on here much but hopefully that will change soon as I have acquired a new piece of tech. The device in question is a 3D printer. The filament I ordered won't arrive until Tuesday but the machine did come with enough to make a few prints.

Well, at a Toyota dealer I'm surprised you didn't end up in a Dodge truck.

Not an update on my model, but more an update on me. A couple weeks ago I went out and bought myself a car. funny thing is that I went in looking at Honda Civics and came out with a jeep.
