Welcome to MSW, Rick.  Just a suggestion here.   Take your original prints to an architectural copy shop or possibly one of the many copy shops/office supply shops and see if they can copy them to the exact size you need.  

Rat Fink?  Wow is that memory from the past.  

Model looks great and I'll keep your wife in my thoughts and prayers that all continues to go well.

Your work is beyond incredible, Marc. 

Welcome to MSW, Max.    I'm looking forward to your build.   If you don't have it, I recommend getting a copy of Hahn's book "Ships of the American Revolution" (going from memory on this title).  She's an interesting ship, IMO.  I built one but for "reasons" never finished it but I still have the plans and hope I live long enough to finish the projects currently underway and then do another Licorne and this time, finish it.

I believe that article was removed as there were issues with it.  But I don't remember what the issues were.  Someone might have it in their files though.

Looks good.   I suggest you open a build log to continue with posting progress photss.   This area is just for questions and since the questions have been answered, make a build log to continue.

Just amazing Glen.   Makes my eyes cross just thinking about something that tiny.

Thanks for these.   I wonder how many other old news films are locked away in archives.

Many choices on ship's boats.   As for painting what you have, look to other logs for your model for starters.   Alternately, you could look to the sponcors here on MSW and see what they offer in the way of small boats.   

Interesting kit, James.  That appears to be a rather unique model with dual overhead cams and seems to have 4 valves per cylinder.   A racing motor by per chance?

My heart goes out to you and Maggie, Kieth.  Too many of us, myself included, are staring that situation in the face and it appears that resistance is futile.  I forget who said it but it applies: "Old age ain't for sissies."   Meantime, the only thing I can say is to try to  just go one day at a time.  

Beautiful work on the piping and mind boggling at the same time.

Wow... that is a beautiful and impressive model.

Welcome to MSW, Clive.   I suggest you open a build log on your project.  It's a great way to get help and also to meet other builders.

Just wow.   Just the thought of even trying something that small makes my eyes cross.  Well done.

  I ham no answer to your question but happy to see you aboard.
