    Lesser known USN ships

    Lou Coatney has plans for a WWII era USN Butler class DDE, a Royal Navy Hunt class DDE and a German torpedoboat at: http://members.tripod.com/~LCoat/ Note that these were intended for miniature naval wargaming and lack color and major details. But the fit and proportions are right, so you...

    I claims this planet in the name of Mars!

    I actually scaled UP Mike Hungerford's Martian Maggot by about 200% and printed on slightly thicker cardstock (the fins also had an extra laminated layer for added stength). The model still fit together perfectly, and I only needed to slightly sharpen the image so the name wouldn't look fuzzy...

    Arabella & Mary Rose (sailing ship-russian site)

    I tried building that Oslyabya (note the slightly different translation of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet), but I had to abandon it. There are SERIOUS flaws in the framework. David Hathaway started to "fix" this model with the designer's permission, but he stopped after learning of Roman's...
