roedj, are you looking specifically for a sheerline type II deck, or something less specific?

Post by: TomP on May 12, 2017, 09:06:42 pm: Wasn't planning to sell them as it's not accurate, it's as close as I can get with the drawings and pictures I have. Easy to scale to other models but would use a paper copy to check before having the etch done to check the fit. What scale do you have this is currently done for a 1:27 scale. Did the same for my type 21 but spent a lot more time on that very pleased with that one

Post by: roedj on May 13, 2017, 03:11:58 am: I am interested in the deck for the Sheerline IID. Accuracy is nice but in this case just the thought of opening up all those deck holes leads me to believe that your version is more than good enough.

Post by: TomP on May 13, 2017, 09:09:59 pm: Dan this is what it looks like, have a couple little adjustments to make, then will do what I need for half etch, full etch etc. The hatches I was planning to be able to open them but can make them fixed if you wanted

Post by: roedj on May 14, 2017, 02:58:42 am: If the price is reasonable (and I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what reasonable is) and we can work out some way for me to get the money to you (PayPal is preferred - I'll pay the fees) I am in for one with opening hatches.
