I have just launched a Kickstarter project to produce modelling plans for HMS Colossus (1882): https://www.kickstarter.com/project...lt-in-1882 (Yes, not necessarily viable for RC combat, although I think it's legal for Big Gun, but I thought there might be some interested people here) If you are not familiar with Kickstarter, it’s a website where people can pledge money towards projects, with their pledges only being collected if the project reaches its target. If this project reaches its target I will buy plans for HMS Colossus from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and have modelling plans drafted from them. The plans will be made available under a Creative Commons license. If you are interested in seeing more modelling plans produced, please visit the project and donate some money. Any amount helps. I hope that this can become a new way of producing plans for ships which have no modelling plans available. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at tgdavies@gmail.com or via the Kickstarter project. Thanks, Tom
I'm lazy, so I'll ask here What scale(s) will you be having the plans made in? [EDIT] 1/96, I found it on the Kickstarter page, and I'm in! First backer for a worthy project.
It wasn't that I needed more plans... (although I always do)... it was that they will be released under a Creative Commons license, thus increasing the number of good plans available to modellers for free. Definitely a worthy cause.
WE DID IT!!! Although there is still a good bit of time left on the Kickstarter project, we have already exceeded the AUS$4100 goal and are sitting at $4200-ish! HAHAHAHA MORE PLANS!!!!
