Chas1 Posted June 16, 2018 #1 Posted June 16, 2018 I would like to build a half hull of the Young America but cannot locate the hull line drawings. Model Shipways had a 1/16" model back when but hasn't been manufactured in years by Model Expo. None of Chapelle's books or papers are of any help so Smithsonian doesn't have any. Does anyone have same or know where I can locate them?
Jaager Posted June 16, 2018 #2 Posted June 16, 2018 Check SeaWatch books I do not have this volume yet, so I do not know if the plans provided include the standard 3 view lines My Smithsonian catalog lists lines plans in page 181. I also have TIFF and JPEG copies of the Webb originals on a CD from a member here SharingHistory.com as a bonus on J.Scott Russell's The Modern System of Naval Architecture 1865 trippwj 1 NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Roger Pellett Posted June 17, 2018 #3 Posted June 17, 2018 If you go to the beginning of Ed Tosi’s series of posts in Scratch built models above you will find an extensive discussion regarding Young America’s hull lines. Roger mtaylor 1
Chas1 Posted June 17, 2018 Author #4 Posted June 17, 2018 Thank you Jaager and Roger. i ordered Tosti's book (Fathers day) and am advised it includes 8 8-color sheets of plans (not available separately) and a CD. Will look into the Smithsonian drawings. Maybe I'll do more than a half hull on this beautiful ship after all. Am much obliged. Chas1 mtaylor 1
