    I was cleaning up my indoor workshop and while going through my collection of reference materials I came across a book I received several years ago which contain a number of HMS ship plans in 1/384 scale.
    The book was published in 1972 "British Warships of the Second World War".

    It contains top and side profiles of the following HMS ships.
    Capitol Ships: Rodney, Royal Oak, Warspite, Renown, Repulse
    Cruisers: Ajax, London, Manchester, Sussex
    Cruiser - Minelayer: Ariadne
    Destroyer: Onslow, Lance

    I am going to a Print shop tomorrow to try to enlarge Royal Oak and Manchester to 1/144 scale to see if they are good for building.
    If anyone is looking for reference material, let me know and I can copy them at 1/384th scale from the book using 11"x17" paper.

    Sounds like a good book to have. Could you let us know what the Title, Author, & ISBN number is so others can locate a copy?
