Jeff,
Is there anything in particular you are looking for that pertains to shipbuilding ? Just curious.

I am sort of stuck on my Fair American build. I am trying to start the transom section and not sure if I want to use the instructions that came with the Model Shipways kit or use one of Bob Hunt's practicums. I am looking for stern shots to get more ideas.
My second goal currently is to learn how to take a set of drawings, the sheer profile, half breadth, and the body plan and be able to change the scale as well as creating frames from them when I decide to scratch build.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
I will tell you a secret that I have been using lately with fantastic results. Even better than Google. I use Pinterest all the time.
http://www.pinterest.com as a matter of fact, I signed into my account (you have to create one to get the best out of it) and did a search for "Fair American" and it returned a lot of images for this ship. Of course you need to wade through some other images that might not be related, BUT, Pinterest quickly picks up via an algorithm what you are interested in and you will get notifs about it.
Then download the Pinterest APP on your phone - this helps too. I have found stuff on my San Felipe that was not out there on Google. They are a little quirky about sharing images is the reason I did not post any here from my search.
Get your account and do the search and let me know. I bet you will find what you are looking for.
