Gaffrig Posted June 2, 2020 #1 Posted June 2, 2020 Hello. Just got asked by another member about instructions for a kit I have built. Would it be allowed to post this in the forum? I don’t want to do anything wrong, and reading the thread about pirated kits, posting instructions might not be the smartest? Hope someone who knows the in’s and out’s of this can advise. Gaffrig.

Gregory Posted June 2, 2020 #2 Posted June 2, 2020 How much material are you talking about? It depends on the kit, and the extent of the sharing. Excerpts and even small snips of the plans are OK for instructional purposes. A lot of Model Expo kit instructions are available on line at their web site.

Gaffrig Posted June 2, 2020 Author #3 Posted June 2, 2020 It would be the whole instruction booklet. The kit in question is the hannah ship in a bottle kit from amati. Gaffrig.

Chuck Posted June 2, 2020 #4 Posted June 2, 2020 No I dont think so.....Amati is still around. I am sure they have it on their website.

ccoyle Posted June 2, 2020 #5 Posted June 2, 2020 As long as we're talking about just the instructions (which are normally not complete enough for a modeler to build a model from them), you can use the private message function. When you hover your cursor over the member's avatar, their profile will appear in a pop-up window; in the lower left corner you'll see a private message button. Sharing plans is a more delicate issue. If the manufacturer is still in business, as Amati is, it is preferable to go through them to obtain plans. mtaylor 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Gaffrig Posted June 2, 2020 Author #6 Posted June 2, 2020 Ok. Thank you for your answers. It’s just the instructions as there is no drawings for this kit. I guess that sharing the instructions with this member in private should be fine, as he already has the kit but has lost the instructions. Apparantly they are not available at the website.

Chuck Posted June 2, 2020 #7 Posted June 2, 2020 I just looked and the other ship in bottle instructions are there but unfortunately not for this particular kit. So yes by PM only please. mtaylor 1 Quote Chuck Passaro - MSW Admin Sloop Speedwell - POF scratch Block Island Boat - POF scratch HMS Winchelsea - POB scratch build HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch build Royal Barge - POF scratch Medway Longboat- POF Scratch SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY

Joe Mirsky Posted June 2, 2020 #9 Posted June 2, 2020 One must be careful about posting the printed material authored by someone else. There may be a serious issue if that material carries a copyright and it is published without the copyright-holder's permission. Something to think about. JM Quote
