    That's a steal. I've seen those go for $250 a box before. You did good...

    Awesome, he wanted 350. for the set I talked him down to 200. for the set. I plan to scan and make a digital set and make copies if people wanted. I imagine the Copyright is surely out on them?

    Not sure on the copyright but these plan sets are well over 40 years old

    Be advised, though, that a lot of copy shops won't let you scan them, especially not places like Kinkos. My local Kinkos requires documentation from the copyright holder that you have permission to make scans or copies That's one reason why Profile Morskie puts your name on plans you buy from them (but not the only reason) .

    I guess it's nice I have a full size plan copier & printer at work and have most of the ships we building in the hobby as PDFs.

    I am happy and sad at the same time if that makes sense... Side profiles, top down views of the deck but no hull body lines. How do I use this? I have a high I.Q. but that dosent make up for experience that allot of you guys and girls have that I do not lol.

    I might have to buy a large snan and copy machine or find someone that has one.

    If you tried and couldn't build the hull the way you wanted, why not asking someone to help you? Or make the hull for you. I have a 3D printing shop if you want I can help building the basic shapes. I have some years of experience in building hulls, even though they are for static models.
