hi all I was looking for this ship many times on the net but found only a bad quality drawing... any other help? thanks and best regards!

Your posts are a bit confusing - I presume you are looking for drawings of Benbow? If so I have these two - although neither of them are brilliant.

Your request looks to be right up to alley of the Portsmouth Model Boat Club. The guy who runs it is at the Fratton Model Centre - email address- [email]sales@fmodel.freeserve.co.uk[/email] - if they can't help they will certainly know a guy who can. Good hunting ...... Dave H

[QUOTE=astraltrader;56387]Your posts are a bit confusing - I presume you are looking for drawings of Benbow? If so I have these two - although neither of them are brilliant.[/QUOTE] Everything you need ist nearly in these two drawings. If you add any drawing of a later period edition Jane's or Cornway's Fighting ships - so you've a topview - you'll have up to 1/350 everything vou need :). As at your lokal libary - and if you've got the book - take it to a copyshop and save it for you. If the i.e. "lowfreeboard-virus", "full-rigged-masts&yellow-funnels-illness" or "gray-is-wonderfull-phlegma" cought you once - you'll never ealy get "healthy" again, I never ask for a therapyst ;) -Fanny tried :eek: & failled & and was lucke after my studies of the great live of Henry VIII. to get devoced :D. The technic is called [I]bread&butter [/I]- and like this wood of sales decksdhigh ist piled onm each other... sorry for my bad english. So youre going to buy balsawood in differend thicknesses - depending on the hight of the part of the hull/superstrukture you will modell. So you photocopy the topview of detail once for every detail you need, cut it out and stick it on that pice of balsawood of the right thikness - so you get the a deck as a lyer of definited thikness - in 1/350 it fist may be able to build a chamber - but it will hardly be to see. And with this technics you get a well proportioned hull and superstructure out of scatch. A small handdriller (dremel/proxon) can be uses to cearte the cylindric parts like gunbarrels. And when you've got the hull and superstrukture you can do the finder detail out of [LIST] * card * paper 120-200gsm * copper can * plastickit rests - heated over a candel and pulled to a very fine line (i.e. for handrails) * clear plasticcard (fix it ALLWAYS with woodglue - so it stays clear!!!) * plasticcard * odds&end * what your wife calls "kitchen rubbish" Chamenbert-chees-wooden "blister" :D [/LIST] And so it is easy, cheap and fun to build mit victorian battleships! If you need drawings - don't hasitate to ask - I've plentys of them... also the "exclusive" frenchships. Here I added drawings of HMS Chressy (two diff. versions), HMS Nile and HMVS Cerberus for you. Greetings from Germany, sends to Your, Gorg
