  1. Tony! Now I'm working on the hull of the destroyer. It's dusty and dirty work, and I try to do it outside. However, bad street weather now does not help speed up the process. And I'll have to wait a bit and work on different blueprints...
  2. Hello Tony! Yes, this is the photo that fascinates me! All problems with the lines plan are easily solved with the help of a graphic program. You did the right thing by photographing this drawing! I am already sending you a private message....
  3. In any case, thanks for your efforts at my request!
  4. Perhaps this is known, but the section TSS WAHINE (1913) erroneously contains 9 drawings of WAHINE (1966).
  5. Thanks a lot Richard for the tip! On this site, I found drawings of SS MAHENO I. I have long wanted to see them after viewing the magnificent model. https://archivesonline.wcc.govt.nz/nodes/view/787332?keywords=&type=all&lsk=68acb84e9681c8447b6d26479eb1fe4d
  6. Yes, all Union Company steamers from SS Aorangi (1883) to TSS Maunganui (1911) are of interest to me. This is exactly the period of shipbuilding that I am interested in.
  7. SS ARAWA and his sistership SS TAINUI . I will be very grateful to you if you learn about the drawings of these ships.
  8. Thanks Ras! My process is slowly moving forward, while the epoxy resin on the hull dries, I am making the propeller group of the destroyer.
  9. Hi, Richard! Congratulations on starting a new project! This is a beautiful steamer and a wonderful scale for a model. Is this catalog publicly available? I want to find drawing information for ss ARAWA (1884) type steamers.
  10. Thanks Roger, I found this book! https://archive.org/details/hydedeckmachiner00hyde/mode/1up?view=theater
  11. Thank you! This seems to be exactly what I need. I won’t be able to pay, but you can try to consider at least the name of the drawing. Please provide a direct link to the page.
  12. Hello Roger! Unfortunately, my google doesn't find the page I'm looking for. If it's not difficult for you, then give me a direct link to this page.
  13. Thanks Bruce, I'm fine! Yes, most likely it is a European production. I see such winches in photographs and models of British-built ships of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
  14. I am looking for a drawing for a cargo steam winch, shown below. I meet her on steamships built in 1890-1900. , approximately. Its main important features from later ones are non-flanged steam cylinders, a long and narrow drum.
  15. Try looking for blueprints here https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/archive-library/ships. I do not know the names of the ships of the entire series, but for these two I found these drawings. They are much larger on the website. MS Aracatuba , MS Aratimbo
  16. Kate , I sincerely admire your detailed beautiful work! If I ever have to build a model sailing yacht, now I know whose work I will take as a role model.
  17. It seems to me that your assumption is true for the first destroyers who had torpedo tubes built into the hull and fixed. The destroyers of the Cyclone type already had full-fledged rotary torpedo tubes and they could fire from any heading angles without fear of losing time to turn around. Therefore, Keith's assumption is probably closer to reality. These destroyers were created for coastal action where there are many narrow bays, skerries and fjords. In these difficult conditions, it was necessary to maneuver constantly.
  18. Phil, in this case the explanation is very simple. This is a nose rudder feather, if necessary, it could be raised inside the hull, into a special well.
  19. Yves, this model has neither a customer nor a buyer yet. But one day everything can change. It should be borne in mind that this technology is more suitable for hulls with smooth contours like yachts.
