Hi All,
I have come across several options for plans in regards to a 637. Could you guys let me know which options make sense with an eye towards 1/72 scale as far as accuracy.
Issue 17 of the SCR report has the plans for a long hull Sturgeon by David Merriman. It says it is for 1/72 scale however I believe because it was scanned, the image appears to be a bit wavy.
The Floating Drydocks has plans listed for 1/96 though I am sure I could upsize it or see if they will fill request for a larger print. The plans I have seen from them appear to be detailed with cross sections
Taubmans Online which I believe is a subsidiary of Loyalhanna has plans listed for 1/72 scale on 3 sheets. I cannot see any examples of their plans.
I have seen Mr. Greg Sharpe mentioned several times as a good person to get plans from but he no longer has a website.
I believe Windjammer-Arts has ship drawings of the Sturgeon and appear to be similar to the floating drydocks in style.
I always thought the sturgeon had a smooth curve transition from the main hull to the bow. Looking at the low quality scans of Sturgeon plans I have seen, it seems like its not a perfect curve after all. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Mike
