Sea Hoss Posted August 5, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2019 Hey Chuck, just looking through this project and am wondering if this is a "scratch build" and are there plans and some instructions? I'm sure I could find the answers here but just curious as I'm already involved in a couple of models at the present time....Thanks., John D. Quote Current: Emma C.

Chuck Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 5, 2019 There are no instructions as this is a complete scratch project. After you sign up you will be given access to the plans. There is nothing prepared for it at all....you need to buy the raw wood and have at it....decorations and all!!! Its a real fun project. Just look through some of the completed models. mtaylor 1 Quote Chuck Passaro - MSW Admin Sloop Speedwell - POF scratch Block Island Boat - POF scratch HMS Winchelsea - POB scratch build HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch build Royal Barge - POF scratch Medway Longboat- POF Scratch SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hoss Posted August 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 5, 2019 Yes Chuck, I breezed through some posts and I am impressed! This will be a great project for me to learn the scratch build methods shown here. Looks like I'll need to purchase some more tools, but I love buying tools, like a child getting a new toy! Thanks for your response, John. mtaylor 1 Quote Current: Emma C.

mtaylor Posted August 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 5, 2019 John, For "instructions", look for the build logs that are "completed". Particularly these two as they are most complete for the cross-section: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/901-uwek-triton-build-re-post-by-mod/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/1454-scottacus-triton-repost-by-mod/ Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted August 5, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 5, 2019 The full-hull is also available in the Triton area. There's only been a couple that have been finished so I suggest those would also be a good reference.

Edwardkenway Posted September 4, 2019 Share #8 Posted September 4, 2019 Hi Chuck, I'm interested in doing the triton cross section, but I'm in the UK so my question is how much are the plans as on the nrg page they are $5, is there any extra charge for sterling purchases? Thanks Quote Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted September 4, 2019 No....whatever the exchange rate is.....you pay through the NRG site. Then I give you access to download the plans. Its very easy....then print them out and get started.

Edwardkenway Posted September 9, 2019 Share #11 Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Chuck I'm back sorry to be a pain but I've downloaded the Triton plans but can't get the POB centre board to print off, everthing else prints off fine.

Chuck Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted September 9, 2019 What seems to be the issue. These plans were done so long ago that there isnt much I can do for you. I dont have those plans and wasnt really involved with its set up. If I remember correctly you must go to kinkos or another facilty because its a larger file.
