B-Ram Posted March 23, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2023 Hello everyone, I am interested in the Galley Washington Plans offered by the NRG and have a few questions. On the NRG site, it shows that the plans come with a CD. Does mean that the plans have to be down loaded from the CD or are the plans printed? Also, the 1:1 length of the Washington is 72'. This would mean at 1:48 scale the length would be 18". Is that correct. Thanks for the help in advance. Bill mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtvd19 Posted March 23, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2023 Bill: There is no CD provided. The 10 sheets of 24" x 36" plans are mailed rolled to the purchaser - not folded. The monograph, lumber list and flag are PDF files that are downloaded from our store - you can download this information at any time - check it out if you are deciding if its a project for you. The monograph is meant to be printed out by the purchaser as needed. Many download and print all the pages at one time and put them in a binder. Others print the pages out as needed. Whatever you choose to do I highly recommend you read and understand all 64 pages of the monograph BEFORE you start the construction. I also recommend that you save the monograph on your hard drive for ease of use.

B-Ram Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted March 23, 2023 Hi Kurt, Thanks for the information and the quick reply. I have no idea where I got the idea that there was a CD included with the plans. I guess I was looking at too many things in the internet. I have been looking for a first POF project. I have gotten several sets of plan and monographs that were described as being good for a first POF build, but I found them too difficult to understand. I have been looking at some very nice build threads for the Washington and the plans along with the monograph appear to give a good opportunity for success. Thanks, Bill mtaylor, markjay, catopower and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Ram Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted March 28, 2023 Hello everyone, I just ordered the plans from the NRG. I have also downloaded the monograph, wood list and flag. I will be going over the monograph and the build threads. I will still need to decide on what woods to use and get it ordered.

B-Ram Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted April 4, 2023 Hello everyone, Look what came today. When I opened up the box, I found a nice surprise. A 2023 NRC calendar was included. That was very nice to find. Thank you NRC. Now the fun part starts. Going over the plans. Bill Canute, tlevine and Knocklouder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Ram Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted April 6, 2023 Hi everyone, The plans are very nicely drawn. Ten sheets. Five of the sheets are for frames. Bill tlevine, JpR62 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
