RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans I've reduced prices and removed the sold items from the list. Thanks, Carl
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans I need a good reference book with many ship's plans / layouts. Jane's? / All the world's battleships? / Ships of WWII? You own them; if you were to keep just one which would you choose?
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans I checked him profile and didn't find any info. How can I reach dietzer via email? Phill@eskimo.com
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans Justin, What exactly do you mean by layouts? Do you mean plan views or profiles? BTW, any of the drawings in the following three books are simple drawings, and other than showing basic layout can't be used for modelling. Ships of World War II has a photo, a table of basic specs, and a description of each ship. The book is not all inclusive like Conway's or Jane's, but has the more famous and popular ships from the major navies of WWII. All the World's Battleships is a collection of all the battleship data from the two Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships books covering 1906 - 1946. This books has pictures and simple profiles of each battleship plus the Conway's data and description. The photos are larger and there's more photos than in the other two Conway's, but there's no plan views. Jane's Fighting Ships of World War II is a lot like Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships. Conway's data is more accurate, but Jane's has more photos. However, whereas Conway's has a profile of nearly every ship class, Jane's has a photo. For the most part in Jane's, in addition to a photo, DDs have a small plan view, cruisers, BBs and carriers have larger plan views and profiles, and other ship types have no drawings at all. Personally, if I were to pick only one book I'd pick the Jane's, especially if I already had Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships. If you're only interested in BBs, then I would recommend All the World's Battlships. Hope this helps, Carl
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans Phil, I sent you an email so you can contact me. My apologies, I didn't realize the profiles hadn't been restored yet. I'll add my email address to the profile. Carl
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans And I'll have the PM system up and running soon. I'll take the Jane's. How do you want paid?
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans Justin, I prefer PayPal, but cashier's check or money order is fine, too. Send me an email and I'll give you my contact info. BTW, my email address was in the profile, but there's no way for other members to see it. I guess that'll be fixed when you get the PM stuff up and working. Kudos and thanks for taking on a complete new install. I know that's got to be a MAJOR pain in the butt for you! ;-) Carl
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans Yeah, but I think its worth it. I really like the new site so far. It is soooo flexible.
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans Phill, I sent you a second email. Please let me know if you didn't get it. Thanks, Carl
RE: FS: Books and Ship Plans I've dropped prices again and updated the original post with new prices and removed the recently sold items. Carl
