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?

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?

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

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.

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

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
