Title: Where to get 1:1200 or 1:600 Miniature warship plans?
Post by: joppyuk1 on October 29, 2019, 07:57:53 pm

As working space is due to be restricted in an upcoming retirement move I'm going to try my hand at 50ft to inch model warships. Classed as the 1947 project (reasons too long and circumlocutory to go into here) I shall be needing plans for a number of capital warships, mainly UK variants, from HMS Warrior to Vanguard. I have the Model Maker/Model Boats series by Michael Ainsworth and his book from 2001, as well as a number of 1940s/50s simple block plans from the then firm of Modelcraft.
I understand that the International Naval Research Organisation have (had) a range of plans but the e-mail address I have is not recognised.
Can anyone help with a source of suitable plans?

There are some on the website below which might be good enough for what you need.
 They are in not consistant scale and would have to be scaled up to down to the size you need.

Thank you for the link. I shall have to do some digging around on it, but it gives me a start.
