    Looking for a "Laker" class, 3-Island Tramp steamer

    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...

    Looking for a "Laker" class, 3-Island Tramp steamer

    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...

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

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

    LADEE spacecraft

    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!

    LADEE spacecraft

    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?

    SS Botany Bay

    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. :)

    SS Botany Bay

    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!

    Looking for a "Laker" class, 3-Island Tramp steamer

    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...

    Looking for a "Laker" class, 3-Island Tramp steamer

    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...

    Hello, everyone! I've been doing card models for a few years although I;m new to this forum. I have done several models of buildings for my HO/OO scale British, Irish, and American trains. I've also made paper card models of ships, real spacecraft, and science fiction spacecraft. I don't have...

    SS Botany Bay

    Thanks for your comments! I didn't want to stray too much from Matt Jeffries' original design and the TOS Star Trek model is very, very good at depicting a space ship that has been damaged and adrift in space for 200 years. I wasn't trying to improve on Jeffries' design as much as simply...

    1/144 USS Los Angeles

    Where did you get this model from? Did you download it from here on Zealot?

    SS Botany Bay

    I'd like to post photos of my card model of the SS Botany Bay. It's a card model that I've made to look as if it were a real NASA spacecraft of the late 20th century.
