Hey, folks. I found some plans for a truly tiny transport that I'd like to add to the plans archive on this site. Trouble is, most of the files are .DXF and I don't think many people have the software to view them. I have uploaded a .zip file with the plans to the file storage here: https://rcwarshipcombat.com/resources/lochinvar-clyde-puffer.15/ I would appreciate it if someone could convert, scale, and post these in the free plans archive. Anyway, here's the rundown. The ship is a Clyde Puffer, a common british coastal transport. Perfect for evacuating the beaches at dunkirk, delivering spies, or carrying downed british fighter pilots back home It's 5.75" long, 1.5" wide, and a little under 1" internal height. It looks like this:
I may have some downtime today to take a stab at it while babysitting a computer during work today; do you know the scale of the originals? I can just see it now, a what-if scenario based upon the Dunkirk evacuation. Dozens of dozens of tiny boats with a goal of crossing the pond from shore to shore while a combined contingent of battleships, cruisers, and destroyers lay in wait to pick off as many as they possibly can....
Done and done. It's in the file manager for 1:144 scale. Address is: https://rcwarshipcombat.com/resources/lochinvar-clyde-puffer.15/ Update: It's up for 1:96 scale. For anyone who thinks it wouldn't be too bad... fold a 3x5 card in half. That's your footprint! good luck!
I have plans for a S-100 Schnellboot in 1/144 (not original tho, so I can't post them). Its itsy bitsy teeny weeny but I still want to try it.
