Trouble is I am crippled with  arthritic hips so can do sod all at present .Supposed to be having ops soon  About all I can do is chat on various forae and catch up with my education  on the hobbies and read I have only come back to the hobbies front very recently. BTW anyone got an old 1950's MAP plans handbook I can Borrow  for a short while ? I don't need it for long . Thanks for reading  John  ( ONETENOR )

Some of the boat plans are available from modelboats.co.uk
As for planes a lot can be downloaded for free from a number of sites.
Plane plans are a lot easier to get!!!

I`ve got a Model Maker Annual 1963, by Vic Smeed which has a few model boat plans that could be enlarged. I can list them if you like. Pages are 5.5" x 8.5" enlargements will be fuzzy !

Scan the plans in a high DPI, save them as JPEG file into a paint program and auto adjust.
Print out to max size on you printer and rescan and save as PDF.
Work out the size required(20% LARGER=120%) save to an USB drive.
Take these to your local print shop and get them printed out.
