Also, Yahoo has a williamgardenyachtowners group. And, http://www.wholeboat.net/gboats/gboat.html (there's a link to some comments from Mystic Garden plans) Lastly, you can now browse books on Amazon, so perhaps looking at the table of contents or list of figures in his books will help, although any lines in a book a likely to not have enough detail for a 1:12 model. Consider the size of the printed page vs. a 41" model (if I'm reading your desired scale correctly). If it's a traditional set of lines where the body, waterlines and sections are superimposed, it will be a real muddle by the time it's enlarged to model scale. (I'm assuming you intend to glue up lifts cut to the shape of the waterlines, traced from a print that's the same scale as the model. Kinko's large format copiers have been very useful to me in re-sizing lines to the scale of the intended model.) "0_Qed" wrote in message ...
