Returning to ship modelling after a number of years modelling railways

Recommended Posts

I've spent a number of years modelling railways but decided on a change of direction due to moving abroad next year , I've had an interest in navy board models for a long time and did build a couple of models years ago 

I recently came across a model of a small English east Indiaman on a German site and hopefully the members on here can help track down any drgs if they exist, I have photos and the name and date of the ship and will post in the correct part of the forum once I've got used to the site,

Hola Ulises,  thank you , I do have drawings for two other ships I'd eventually like to build , the Coral drgs of Berlin but many details on small drawings I think drawn by hoeckler seen on the web are not on the Coral drawings ( mostly carvings),  so will try and find more details first and other drgs at a larger scale so I can see what the carvings actually look like,

the other is the Nonsuch the drawings are from the museum in canada and are accurate for the reconstruction built a few years ago,

the English east India ship needs a lines plan my research into that is on going,  

I have amigos in puebla which I've visited five times, and an amiga in Mexico city and will possibly move there permenantly next year probably Atlixco . and learn Spanish !
