Yes Uwe. I spend a lot of time to compare all the captured Temeraires and their history in the french shipyards and the Tigre was more and more in the focus. After some mails with Jean-Claude Lemineur and some articles from the Logbuch from Johan Gröbner was clear that the french Tigre Plan was the base for the revision in 1794 for the Redoutable. What a luck that the NMM has such wunderful plans from the Tigre. Including all the deckplans.

Today I picked up my copy of Alert AOTS from the shop my packages come into.
Very good hard cover copy and total was about $160 USD.
Now to add behind my Blandford AOTS for reading.
Also to help this week I got my new spectacles for computer work and reading. They work fine for both tasks, only problems is when I stand up and start to walk down the hall the house is fuzzy!

The Ketch-rigged Sloop Speedwell of 1752 by Greg Herbert and David Antscherl
Three methods of scratch-building a ship model
Volume I, The Hull (see below)
Volume II, Hull Details and Rigging
Format: 8.5 x 11, 184 pages.
Hardcover with dust jacket.
Hundreds of drawings and photos
8 pages of color photos
4 Plan Sheets
ISBN: 9781732016255
Publisher: SeaWatchBooks
Synopsis
This is the second and final volume on building this model. It covers completion of the hull and carved works plus the masts, spars, and rigging of the model. The work is based on original draughts and a rigged contemporary model of SPEEDWELL in the Royal Museums Greenwich collection. The book is 8 1/2” x 11” format with 184 pages, bound in hardcover with a dust jacket. An eight-page color section is included along with 4 sheets of plans.
Sample Pages from the book
Accompanying Volume I
Plan Sheet 1 Board plan, frame, platforms, planking explanation, and sheer plan
Plan Sheet 2 Profile, weatherdeck framing, and bulkhead (POB) model patterns
Plan Sheet 3 Lift model patterns
Plan Sheet 4 Bow and Stern frame patterns, cant frame patterns, and weather deck planking
Plan Sheet 5 Square frame patterns
Accompanying Volume II
Plan Sheet 6 Mast and Spars
Plan Sheet 7 Swivel mounts and Standing rigging
Plan Sheet 8 Running rigging for the square yards
Plan Sheet 9 Running rigging for the fore and aft yards
Plan sheet 6
Plan sheet 7
Sheet Plan 8
Sheet Plan 9
Speedwell was chosen as a subject for several reasons. First, it is an attractive smaller ship not often seen in model form. Secondly, the fully-framed hull is less complex to construct than that of a sixth rate. Each frame has fewer pieces than a larger vessel. A model of this size, even at 1:48 scale, consumes little expensive wood. These features an ideal subject for the model-maker's first effort at 'real' framing.
Alternatively, the model-maker may choose to build a POB or solid lift version of this vessel. Instructions and plans are also provided for both these forms of construction.

Thank you Olga for your video book reviews. The quality and teaching value of these books shows how far the ship-modeling hobby has come since the books by Underhill, Roth, and Longbridge, which are classics, but do not compare to these modern build manuals. It's wonderful to read and learn from so many great references published by Ancre and Seawatch...
A must-have classic book, doesn't age !
Got these today:
They are a lot bigger than I thought (brand new pencil to see the size). Not so much to say. Uwe has made a fine review: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...n-by-bjerg-hans-christian-john-erichsen.3037/

Great add to your library - I enjoyed this book also very much - 5kg of book - so not for reading during laying in bed
