JacquesCousteau Posted December 15, 2023 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2023 I've been looking around for a good set of plans to scratch-build a Catalonian fishing boat, and I recently found that the AAMM sells Monographs for a large number of vessels, including a Catalan-type vessel: https://boutique.aamm.fr/monographies/plan-barque-catalane I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with using AAMM monographs, and what the contents are like. I'm familiar with Ancre monographs and the high level of detail that many have, and something like that--with drawings of every frame--would really be ideal for me, given that I don't have a ton of scratch-building experience. Would the AAMM monograph have the level of detail that I'm looking for, or does it provide more of a basic hull plan? mtaylor 1 Quote Kits: Model Shipways Dory (1:24) - Finished NRG Half-Hull Planking Kit (1:48) - In-progress Midwest Maine Peapod (1:14) - In-progress Scratch Builds: Xochimilco Trajinera (1:32) - Finished Lake Chapala Canoa de Rancho (1:32) - In-progress Juana y José Cross Section (1:32) - Finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaPhil Posted December 16, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) I have bought several AAMM plans. They have all been excellent. Most of the ones I’ve bought had conventional hull lines with some cross sections. Most had booklets with general guidelines on model construction. I personally like their plans. It should be noted that I bought larger warships, not a smaller boat. The one that you are looking at comes with 14 sheets of plans, you’ll have plenty of information to build your model.
