Hi Donnie.So far here are the ones that have an interest in Le Rochefort. Enough ( I think ) for a group build:
@tonphil1960
@Tobias
@Bill-R
@Jwallkc
@Martin555.
I am seriously thinking of ordering the monograph as well (if I can talk the Admiral into it), but I can not promise I can start it immediately. I have had this vessel on my to-do list as a good starter scratch for myself. Who knows, maybe in a few months, I could jump in. If I were to do this, I might just build it as a Navy Board style and no hull planking.
Now, Zoltan informed me that the monograph plans do not have a Bill-of-Materials (lumber list) as this is up to the individual as to what scale they want to build.

However, according to the Sorolla Book, the author built his based on the as-built plans, therefore:
"The same thickness will be needed for the construction of the Keel, the Stem, the Sternpost, and inner Framing Parts, such as the Transoms, Breast-Hooks, Keelson, and Deck Clamps. The same thickness is also needed for the frames." This information is taken from the book: "An Introduction to Model Ship Building 'Dockyard Style'" the author is Adrian Sorolla.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I did state in a previous post that ' I would love to join in the group build but I do not have the finances to be able to purchase the items required to build this ship.
Again sorry.
Martin.
