Georgian Navy in the Beakhead Bulkhead Era - a survey of plans

Thanks for the explanation. I was curious to see how you actually went about building a hull. I remember the MSW before it failed (2 times) but I was too busy trying to raise a family and care for my special needs son.. until my damn strokes.
Corel Paint, or Draw or Technical drawing are all pretty pricy.. always have been.
Temp bond.. hmm no clear idea here unless CA was used.
Bassetts! well I was raised with them I can remember at least 6.. ha on following a new trail (tripping over ears at times). Wonderful dogs.
Lulu Bell comes to mind.. she had a real sniffer on her. We have had 2 ourselves.

Logs.. always a problem if you want to share, but *why not?*? keeping a long term log... for who? the last thing I want to be known as is a grumpy old man hugging his toys on his deathbed. The only reason I make models is for my joy and sharing it around if I can. Seeing a smile on a youngster or oldster's face is worth all the joy of the trip

Any way thanks for the response! and thanks for sharing anything of note and interest on making of models.

PS.. I use Autocad LT @ >$400 per year.. but its worth it.. it works. 2D only...
If I WERE to do 3D it would be with Rhino... (It covers Autocad LT and 3D) and has a great interface.. but costs a very dear ~$975
