Default Need Article Heading

PLEASE HELP;

Need Article title.

Some time ago I came across an article that listed the dimensions of the wood needed ( length, height and breadth) pertaining to the different scales being utilised, enabling the modeler the necessary help for a scratch built ship size in question under construction.

Tried locating it but came up blank,.

I've concluded that the scale reference on the page is wrong. The stated scale is 1/8 inch to the foot whereas the drawings are actually printed at 3/16 inch to the foot. Had me going for a while and the masts looked truly unusual being 50% too large. Am correcting now but had me scratching my head for a while.
