Hi all! I am from Sarajevo. Not quite new to this hobby, but I would like to build simpler boats from scratch. Maybe someone could recomend some free plans? I've seen those on Ancre, but I would like to start with one or two free simple boats, before paying. Just to see how it goes.


Thanks and best regards!
 
Welcome to the SOS Group. I would like to offer a word of caution about obtaining "FREE" plans for your scratch building endeavours. As you proceed with any scratch build projects please know that not all plans will give true directions on how to make the parts and then actually have them fit together. They can lead you into total disappointment about your skills when in reality it is not your fault. As a scratch builder of many years I have seen plans which I paid a large sum for not work out without major modifications.

Thanks, Jim, for your advice. What do you think of Bateau de Lanveoc from Ancre? I think they sell plans only (I plan on building 1/24 scale). Are these in partucular any good?

I do not have any experience with this company, but there is an article on this forum from Uwek in June 27, 2019 about this vessel. From what I have read and the looks of the drawings this would be a great little ship to work with.

Hallo zusammen! Ich komme aus Sarajevo. Ich bin nicht ganz neu in diesem Hobby, aber ich würde gerne einfachere Boote von Grund auf bauen. Vielleicht kann mir jemand ein paar kostenlose Pläne empfehlen? Ich habe die auf Ancre gesehen, aber ich würde gerne mit ein oder zwei kostenlosen einfachen Booten beginnen, bevor ich bezahle.

Not only does ANCRE make decent plans, but... if you still want ANCRE, I can recommend ARMED LONGBOAT- 1834

ancre.fr

ARMED LONGBOAT- 1834 - Ancre

Gérard Delacroix describes in 40 pages and 52 color photos his construction method for modeling beginners who may only have simple tools. Provided with six 1/36-scale plates of drawings. New: CANON for the boat. Rigging for Armed Rowboat at war and plans at 1/36 or 1/24 or 1/18.
