cookster Posted January 4, 2015 #1 Posted January 4, 2015 Hi all, USS Frolick, aka, Steve, sent this to me with some other material and asked me to post it. Not sure if it should be here or one of the other research forums so if it needs to be moved - mods please do so. This article is from the old Model Shipwright Magazine, Steve could not provide the date so my apologies for that. It deals with interpreting the body line drawings of the Essex comparing Hackett's, Baker's and Chapelle's drawings. This was of particular interest to me since I am still working on my drawings of Essex for my scratchbuild. Thanks Steve!

Reminds me of a class experiment on inter-observer bias wherein letting several students measure the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder would result in varying results from each student mtaylor 1 Quote Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo
