Hello all.
Currently nearing completion of current build so collecting plans and thoughts for the next one.
One of the subjects that I really like is the Earth race boat
See here:
http://www.earthrace.net/index.php?section=48Just wondering if there is enough information available in the pictures for someone to attempt to create a set of designs. If not, and I am able to get hold of some hull lines, would anyone be willing to draw them up for me?
Happy to pay any costs and a decent hourly rate ( guessing £20-£30 but I don't know what's fair ). I will also pass them on to Martin so that they can be posted on the site.
I was going to put this in the "Wanted" section, but at the moment it's speculative, as I'm not sure what's involved in the actual creation of a set of plans.
if some one could let me know what sort of information I would need to get hold of, I will try and get it. At that point, if anyone here wants to take a commission to produce the plan I'll post a thread, otherwise I will bend the ear of a draftsman chappy that I know slightly.
Having re-read the post, I realise it makes little sense. So here is a condensed form:
1) Looking at The Earth race site, is there enough information to produce an accurate set of plans, in order to build a quality scale model?
2) If not, what information is needed?
3) If/when I get this information, does anyone have an interest in drawing up a set of plans if they were paid for their time?
4) If copyright issues etc can be sorted out, is there an interest in having either this site, or another with a link here, host the plans so others can use them?
Thanks
Steve
