HO is 1:87 and OO which is as close as you get in Ireland and in the UK is 1:78, I think. For American HO, I have also used ship models that are 1:96, which is a more standard ship scale and I've even used the 1:28 scale models of the Blue Devil Fletcher class WWII destroyer and 1:128 scale...

The superstructure should be relatively easy since it's all straight lines. It's the complex curves of the hull that intimidate me. By the way, I'm really only looking for a water line model if I decide to include this as a part of the harbor in my HO-scale train layout. A full hull model is...

Here are some more plans that I found.

And a few more freighter plans...,

I don't have any good plans but I'll undertake a search.

"Hogie?" Do you really mean a "Hoagie?"

I'll see what I can pick up this afternoon. I'm going to a LADEE pre-launch party today at NASA and someone should have some good drawings/photos, technical info, etc. I'll let you know what I come back with!

Thank you, Zathros. I actually work at NASA but I'd like to assemble a paper model for myself and possibly one that I could give out to people, too.

Does anyone know of a paper model of the LADEE spacecraft that is scheduled to be launched Friday night?

Well, I think that your first and only foray thus far was excellent! I really do hope that you'll finish more designs and post them. The Botany Bay was so fun to build that I may do another but this time make it appear like the studio model. :)

I did use that kit as the starting point. It is a wonderful model! I highly recommend it to everyone. So you designed it? Thank you very much!

That is very much like the type of ship I'm looking for. It looks like a very small scale ship, though. I'm guessing about 1:700 scale, maybe? It's very interesting how many people complimented the builder on making it such a neat and clean build. I always think of these ships as cluttered and...

Thanks!

I'm looking for a paper card model already printed out or one that I can download and print out of a World War One-era tramp steamer, sometimes called a 3-Island steamer or a "Laker" class steamer. I want to build this in 1:96 scale or something close to it, 1:72 up to even 1:120 or so. I'm...
