SeaWatch Books Posted July 11 Share #1 Posted July 11 Hi All - I’ve gotten a lot of questions recently about reprinting David Antscherls The Fully Framed Model Swan series. The out of print books will definitely be reprinted. But, while I was hoping it would be later this year it will likely be Q1 next year as there are a few new titles I need to get out. However, I have a good solution: I’m going to make these available for purchase as e-books, which will give you immediate access and when I do reprint them people who bought the e-book will automatically get the printed version (they’ll just need to pay shipping costs at that time). Please comment here if that would interest you. I hope to have the ebooks available this weekend. thanks for your patience!

No Idea Posted July 12 Share #5 Posted July 12 Mike I'm so glad that you are going to reprint these books. As soon as they are available I will be ordering a set from you and if you can let me know when they are available I would appreciate it. I'm not so good with ebooks but I think what you are doing is a great idea - I'll wait for the reprint. As I understand it with the original series it was possible to buy an encapsulated frame plan view. If so will this be available too.

Mark P Posted July 13 Share #7 Posted July 13 Good Evening Mike; Thank you for suggesting this. I for one much prefer to see the book on the bookshelf; although I can also understand that a digital version of the book would be a great aid in the workshop, more so than a book, actually. I already have all four of the Swan series; any idea when you might be re-printing Vol II of Ed Tosti's Naiad books? All the best, Mark P thibaultron, Nirvana, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

No. Seawatch Books sell the plans separately as a supplement to the series - they are available from their website for $45.
