   THANKS KENNY, i enjoyed Titanic post what plan did you use, great modeling,   
    BUT watch out for those brown ice bergs in the channel  ..........LARRY...

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

What plan !!!   All done entirely by digital callipers on photos.  Run a copy on the printer and scale up or down until it matches the conversion scale chart.

I used more printer ink than superglue.     All the fun of scratch building. That's why I admire your work quality.

Cheers
