Hi Gents, Thanks to Colin Bishop, raflaunches,hmsantrim and Pondweed. I will look at the info you have kindly advised me to check out. Pondweed, thanks for the advise with scale.I origianally bought 1/200 scale drawings of HMS Ajax from a company in poland with a view to using those but i was having trouble getting fittings for the plans so I went to a local model boat exhibition and spoke to several guys who advised me to go larger so I started enlarging the drawings along with trying to find out the differences between the 2 ships when I received an e-mail from the Polish company advertising that they had done the drawings for HMS Neptune at 1/96, so I downloaded the pdf file to disk and took it to a local printer and as a result I have three large 72inch x 36inch drawings from which to av a go at !!!!!!. The fact that my Father in law has bad eye sight has helped me decide that it will be built to that scale. So onwards and upwards as they say...
