Anthony Hearne Posted November 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardkenway Posted November 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 19, 2020 Hi, good luck with Triton. Your question about the plans I can't answer as I just printed mine at my local library and I'd reduced them to 1:64. The AOTS book is Pandora if I'm not very much mistaken, I didn't find a copy for sale at the time I was looking. Hope this was in some way helpful. mtaylor 1 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...

Edwardkenway Posted November 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure, but most details should be very similar to both vessels although Triton is a 28 gun frigate whereas Pandora is a 24 gun frigate. Perhaps a question in the plans and research section would provide an answer from a member more knowledgeable than I am.

mtaylor Posted November 22, 2020 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2020 As for plans... find an architectural copy house that prints for architects. If you specify 100% the copies will be dead on. For the copies you have made, there should be a line on the drawing with tic-marks and the measurement. Most of the office supply places seem pretty hit and miss on this.

Anthony Hearne Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted November 22, 2020 what type of paper should i choose? mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted November 22, 2020 Share #9 Posted November 22, 2020 What are the choices? I had mine printed on plain white paper but, my apartment is pretty stable in the temperature/humidity department.

Edwardkenway Posted November 22, 2020 Share #11 Posted November 22, 2020 I had my Winchelsea plans done on normal plan paper, the sort they use for architectural drawings, but I don't know what you'd call it over there🙂 Canute 1 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...

Anthony Hearne Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted November 23, 2020 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. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffT Posted November 23, 2020 Share #14 Posted November 23, 2020 The last set I had done was on the #20 paper and that was just fine. I've also done the mylar. mtaylor 1 Jeff In progress: Medway Longboat 1742 - Syren Ship Model Company -1/2" scale USS Constitution - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Granado - CAF Model - 1:48 HMS Sphinx - Vanguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Diaz O Posted December 24, 2020 Share #17 Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Hola,sobre el papel se usa el BOND PARA PLOTERS,lo hice en mi trabajo a 1/48,poniendo IMPRESION AL 100%,resulta sin problemas.En cuanto al libro ANATOMY OF THE SHIP del HMS Pandora,no son similares,se pueden rescatar algunos detalles,pero no son iguales,el HMS Triton es mas grande.Seria mejor referencia el HMS Diana.Exito en su construccion,llevo dos años y medio en el mio y sin velas.
