The Ship Model Forum

[quote="Ian Roberts"]@tzoli - you should contact Randy at TFD to ask if he has them as digital copies. If not, you can order the paper copies and then find a service with a large format scanner to get them digitized. I have done this many times with Floating Drydock drawings in order to use them for creating Shipbucket format drawings. Rarely (if ever) has Floating Drydock had any plans available digitally. I have almost always had to order paper copies and then have them scanned. I found that "reprographics" services (at least in the USA) were usually able to scan the drawings onto a thumb drive, or make them available online for a low cost. I would usually pay about $10 per plan but it's worth it to get them digitally.[/quote]

Yeah, the issue that I live in Hungary so I have to pay quite a sum for the transport fee as well as the VAT and then find someone with a big enough scanner to scan them.

I see, Thanks. Are these physical copies or can be acquired digitally? I'm a digital artist and I have more use of these material digitally then physically.

[quote="TZoli"]Does anybody have drawings of the Leahy as commissioned or before their 1980's modernization? Though drawings of that state could help aa well.[/quote]

Try Floating Drydock they have many different drawings of many Naval ships.

Also The Scale Shipyard makes a 1/96 scale model that can be built to be RC'd. He also sells many fittings to help build the model as well, and other fittings can bought from Shape Ways.

I should have know that. :doh_1: Thanks!

ISW makes/made one, but it's in full hull...maybe you can ask someone for a hacksaw and a vise?

I need a 1/350 kit of this ship. Anybody knows were I could get one. Must be in waterline.

Mr. Walker, Please give me a yell and we can talk models and builds,

There are kits of the Leahy class out there you can purchase and build, though most, if not all, appear to be out of production so you'll have to resort to EBay or the Trading Post forum here. If you are talking about a specific model that has already been built, then you will have to specify which one and directly contact the builder of the model.

I'm The admirals great grand son... Is this a model that can be purchased ?

[quote="maxim"]Does anyone has built the old PitRoad resin kit?

I am hoping for a new JAG/Admiralty Modelworks kits - should be much better than CyberHobby/Dragon.[/quote]

Freetime Hobbies has the Wave Line/Pit Road resin kit for sale, still.

I agree with Dan. A Leahy class CG would be an excellent addition to the Cyber Hobby cold war series.

I am also a fan of this class..... come on cyber-hobby!!
The cold war ships need to be done, to include the Soviets.

Gary,

I'm a Fan of all Post WWII USN classes and the Leahy is among my favorites. I am anxious for the new JAG USS Leahy kit to come out.

Is this "your" USS Leahy web site? I like it! I've marked it as a "Favorite" for future reference. :thumbs_up_1:

Hi, Guis!
Why nobody are interested?
