    I found the post with the link but alas, the firewall at work will not let me cut'n'paste that link. I will post it at home if no one puts it on first. The post is 4 or 5 pages back in this forum, and the link is on page 5 of his post, about 2/3 of the way down the page.

    I'm back!
    since this thread is getting new life, yes I have an update available.
    The dropbox folder has been updated with a new set of sketchUp file which now includes the full superstructures.
    No change to the hull design since the prior version.

    I've got some free time in my schedule, so I figured I'd do a bit of an update. I've scrapped the old Bismarck hull, along with the ribs for the Alsace. Since the last time I've worked on them, I've gotten better at woodworking and drafting, and it should help me with the builds. I'm looking at starting these up again around the end of February, once my Eagle Project's done and I age out.

    I've done a bit of work to get everything ready to print. I downloaded Daniel's newest set of plans, and changed the ribs and keel back to 3D. Next will be to mark the path for the middle shaft, then work on dividing the keel and ribs up into manageable pieces for the printer.

    I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of the files that were once available at the dropbox URL above?
    PS. They seem like they'd be good to have in the plans section.

    I'll look and see if I can find them on my old computer.
