found this on their website , guess i have my answer , thank you for the referral its perfect BOND PRINTING PAPER Bond printing paper is the common, slightly rough surfaced paper used for writing, printing, and drawing, etc. Bond paper derives its name from the original use of this tough paper for the printing of government bonds. We offer several grades of bond paper for printing: 20# white, 20# Colored (the paper is colored pink, blue, yellow, and green), 24# white, and 32# white bond. The grade of bond paper is important to how your print looks. For specs and regular blueprints, a 20# bond is high enough grade and durable enough for most uses. It also has the added advantage of being the least expensive option of all our bonds. Use the 20# Colored Bond choice to make colored divisions in your drawings and spec books to separate different sections. For proposals, color renderings, and other prints where your print needs to be clear and look sharp on the page, use a heavier grade bond – 24# for proposals, 32# for large format color renderings. These heavier bonds look whiter and allow for a much brighter finish for your color document. The heavier the bond, the better the print looks because heavier bond allow less background light through the print.

im guessing that its different thicknesses but there is no reference as to what it is

i dont know it just said #20 #22 mylar and a few other numbers

what type of paper should i choose?

i printed the largest ones and although the first page i printed didn't have a scale on it , the next couple did and the measurements are perfect, its just the 3 middle ones i have to figure out , and thank you for the link i will give them a try

i'm also having problems with the website , lots of 404's and unable to order certain things, while i totally agree that the books are worth the wait , even a personal email as confirmation would be enough , actually a reply to an email enquiry would be ok too. i will order from them again as the product is without question exceptional and i am more prepared for the 2 month wait , i guess my credit card being charged is my confirmation

i ordered mine september 14 after a few emails and telephone calls i finally got through and spoke to bob on the 13 th of november , today i received my books over 2 months after i ordered them and with an invoice dated the 14th of november , i wasn't expecting amazon type performance but 2 months ........ the books are worth the wait but a little communication would have made it more acceptable , i understand they are a small business just asking for an acknowledgment of the order

really , i have the pandora aots book , its the same ship , awesome , i just picked it up from @freewheelinguy , but haven't looked through it yet, yes thats a big help thank you

hello I am not planning on building this model yet , but i am trying to get everything together so that i can , in the future , i have a few questions but don't see anywhere to ask them other than here so here goes, i looked for an aots book for the triton but not sure if there is one , is there something like that available for this ship? and my second question is regarding plans, the 11 x 8.5 i am slowly printing at work , i have checked the measurements and they are perfect, the 48 x 36 i had printed at kinkos , there is no scale on them so i'm not sure they are 100% correct but looking at them they seem fine , kinko's ,however doesn't print at 34 x 22 , they can only print at 36 x 24 , when i asked about scaling they looked at me blankly , where can i get these printed at the right scale or should i just print them at the larger scale and reduce them my self as needed

i called twice and left messages ,no reply,4 emails no reply 2 months have gone by , not the best way to run a business !

i ordered the hayling hoy book from sea watch books and although it took over a month to arrive , it did finally arrive , so about 6 weeks to 2 months ago i ordered the first 2 volumes of the swan class ships , money went out of the account but i didn't get a confirmation , but it was the same for the first book . i emailed about 4 weeks ago and got a reply about a week later saying that , yes they had received the order and that they had been sent out, as of today i have emailed a further 3 times and not had a reply and the books havent arrived either . do i continue to wait ?

i ordered a book a couple of weeks ago, i didn't get a confirmation email, but this morning i got an email from seawatch saying that bob has had a problem with his health and that they are running behind, i'm ok with that

i have also sent off for the book/plans and hope to start in the near future , this is indeed inspirational and excellent work , thank you for the information , this will be my first scratch build and this thread is extremely useful ,

thank you , i think i prefer the look of this victory but the figurehead does look a lot more complicated than i first thought , i am going to see if i can find some detailed drawings of the sculptures and see if i can do something , never tried so i don't know if its possible ,

is it possible to build a pre Trafalgar victory from a mantua kit( or equivalent), or is there an alternative to a complete scratch build? how do i go about finding the differences? sorry i know this sounds like a complete beginner question but i am just starting on the scratch build journey and not sure i have enough experience for a complete build from scratch ,

but in the corel instructions i'm supposed to glue the gun carriages onto the false decks and then once finished attach the cannons, so is this completely wrong?

i got hold of a copy of captain cooks endeavor by karl Heinz marquardt ,anatomy of the ship , and although the main hull looks the same there are quite a lot of differences , the main one being no gun ports ,is this the same ship?

heres what i got

thank you ,the first plank i ran was in line with the gun ports so i measured off of it and i think they are close to where they are supposed to be . they aren't quite in sync with the plans but then the plans don't really match what i have any way . i did query this with corel and they said that the wood is cut correctly and the plans might be off due to shrinkage , only thing is they're the right height but about half an inch longer , even the false keel is shorter than the plans .

i'm building a corel endeavor and i have finished the first layer of planking and want to make a start on the second layer but first i need to cut the holes for the gun ports, i marked them while planking , according to the false decks that are in the bulkheads but they dont line up with anything and the 1:1 plans they supply , aren't. the gun ports line up with one of the wales(?) and another one of those line up with the lower deck , should i start with this and try and guess where they should go?

hello to all and thank you for the warm welcome, florida seems quite popular with ship builders , i do have questions so i'm sure i will be on here quite a lot , hurricane Dorian missed us thankfully but we were well prepared , i feel really bad for the Bahamas though , don't know how they are going to recover from it …... thanks again Anthony

hello, i am not new to modelling but have been "having a go" for quite a few years , i'm 56 now and grew up in England before moving to sunny florida 15 years ago, my main interest when i started out was model aeroplanes and i built and successfully flew lots of control line and eventually rc planes , now i fly helicopters , scale planes were a dream that i never did get around to fulfilling but that sparked my interest in model ships , the detail in the old galleons ,pardon the pun, floats my boat and although my models aren't historically accurate , i get a lot of enjoyment out of building them. i have been building ship models for maybe 20 years now , which sounds like a lot but its been sporadic , my best achievement is a corel HMS Victory which took me over 10 years and was in between the move to the US ,i have built 5 corel kits and a mamoli , for me they look good but would probably be picked apart by a master modeler , i have also just started a corel Endeavour and have looked at several build logs just to see if i am on the right track , everything i have done so far has been self taught and mostly from books , internet wasn't really a thing when i started and my local hobby shop helped a little with books but they are sadly out of business and i have moved away anyway . so now i find myself trawling the internet for help with these projects and came across model ship world, which i wish i had found earlier there is a wealth of information here . anyway that's my story and introduction hello to all Anthony
