Smile-n-Nod Posted March 30, 2021 #1 Posted March 30, 2021 Is Ree's Naval Architecture considered useful for ship modelers and researchers, or is it just a redundant copy of other works of that era? Brett D.
Jaager Posted March 30, 2021 #2 Posted March 30, 2021 Ree's is the one that I wish that I had bought two copies. There are plans that fold out that need the binding removed for to get a proper scan. It is Hutchinson that I do not find all that valuable. mtaylor 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.

druxey Posted March 30, 2021 #3 Posted March 30, 2021 Rees is, essentially, Steel in compact form, but without tables of scantlings. It has all the fold-out plans at 1:96 instead of 1:48, and instructions for lofting and building. mtaylor and EricWilliamMarshall 2 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
