Making hull was not without serious problems since Chesley set and Boklet of genral plans hardly match each other. Ironically after the model was completed a friend of mine found at NARA an original body plan as designed from 1911.
If I had your email I could forward them to you.

Paperlab,
I would also like a set of the drawings, particularly the hull lines. I have the Book of General Plans (BB35.pdf) which has no hull lines, and the Warship Pictorial #4, and have ordered the relevant drawings from Floating Drydock.
