They weren't very famous ships, being built for the Great Lakes and only having one engagement, and only a few months of service at all. I suppose I shall have to do some more digging!reston668https://www.blogger.com/profile/16682408569655564039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383663773937558150.post-25013597077027652132016-04-12T23:12:16.253-07:002016-04-12T23:12:16.253-07:00I haven't tried to do one without the scaled d...I haven't tried to do one without the scaled deck plan. I am not sure the profile would fit if they weren't matched. I find most of my plans at the Greenwich National Maritime Museum<br />In Collections.

I have found plans for the ships I'm interested in, but they only have views from the side and partial front. Is a top view absolutely necessary for this kind of work, or can it be done with just the dimensions?reston668https://www.blogger.com/profile/16682408569655564039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383663773937558150.post-48476121750574420052016-04-11T21:14:28.292-07:002016-04-11T21:14:28.292-07:00I use Rod Langton's 1/1200 scale painting and ...I use Rod Langton's 1/1200 scale painting and rigging guide. I also have here on my blog Rory McCreadie's excellent painting and rigging guides. They are well illustrated with photos so you can't go wrong.

There are a few very specific ships from the War of 1812 that I'd love to have, even just as models if not for use in-game, but they're obscure (and unique) enough there's no models of them. (Bar a few large ones at museums.) So I absolutely am going to try this for them! The rigging does look extremely intimidating, though.reston668https://www.blogger.com/profile/16682408569655564039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383663773937558150.post-30628808583254743452015-04-27T06:42:21.340-07:002015-04-27T06:42:21.340-07:00Thanks Miles, I really appreciate that.Thanks Miles, I really appreciate that.A Miniatures Hobby Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955521215153908012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383663773937558150.post-16277579625730495932015-04-27T04:04:05.399-07:002015-04-27T04:04:05.399-07:00Amazing work - like some others I take my hat off ...Amazing work - like some others I take my hat off to you!<br />jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383663773937558150.post-65478214333496306192015-04-22T14:21:15.005-07:002015-04-22T14:21:15.005-07:00You made a really good work.

I have a Langton 1/300th ship, part finished. Not even managed to finish that, never mind commence (let alone finish) my fantasy plans of scratch-building some 1/300 Napoleonic ships for a French invasion of England project.
