  1. Thanks everyone for all your advice and help I will post again when I'm ready to start my build. Need to save up for the enlargement proses lots of plans going to run a bit of a bill to get it done
  2. I think I have downloaded everything correctly, But I have a couple questions are the Assembly Drawings the actual size of the finished build and if so, it looks like it's just over 2 1/2 feet long I would like it to be almost double that. Am I able to enlarge it and again if so which pages would I enlarge for a full body POF build? Would I half to enlarge all the drawing pages in the Full-Build section or could I get away with having to enlarge just a few?
  3. dose the HMS Triton plans have the mast's and rigging in the plans?
  4. Wow very impressive build loved looking at all the pictures will help a lot when I start mine thank you for sharing
  5. This has me existed I can't wait to get my set of plans this looks like so much fun Thank you for sharing
  6. I Truley enjoyed viewing this wish you had finished. Still very inspiring thank you for sharing
  7. I went ahead and bought the triton plans you say it can be built in POF POB and in cross section do these plans give me the entire ship or is it just cross section Looking in the group build all of them are cross section builds also how to I get the plans I was expecting a download but I didn't get one is it mailed to me?
  8. I took a look at the Winchelsea and the triton both in the group builds and I found the NRG plans and they look great but just to small truthfully, I want to build something a little bigger I can see stepping down from the 1st rate but I don't think I would want to go les then a 3rd rate and after looking over everything I truly want to build a POF I can spend a few dollars on a good set of plans just need to keep things reasonable
  9. I built this a few years back the chains have broken from moving and the sails and rigging I have in storage until I can finish the wall, I plan to place it on
  10. I have a large well kitted workshop I have table saws band saws scroll saws grinders, sanders, dreamless. I'm verry prepared to go to work on a challenging build but you all are correct about my ambition being beyond my skill level I have been building scratch built speed boats and large sail boats for about 10 years all of which I made remote control and took to the water and raced within a boat club I use to member with that has cense closed down. working with wood is and has been a passion all my life I have spent years on a single project so many times I can't count I usually have 3 or 4 going at a time. I am disabled so I have a lot of time on my hands to spend on my projects. I do spend a lot of time in my Bible but when I'm not in study I'm crafting something.
  11. Ok I think I'm understanding what you all are warning me of I agree it is a big project and yes, I would be interested in starting with a simpler ship I just want it to be a big ship in size like 4 or 5 feet long maybe I can back off the triple decker, but I want a challenge something I can spend time building and something with detail I have no problem having to build hundreds of something infect that kind of what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for something I can just slap together in a month or two I want a scratch build I can be proud of
  12. Would you have a good recommendation of a good English or French ship
