The Ship Model Forum

hallo
Christian Schmidt Fachbuchhandlung seems to be a good choice,but the terrible price stopped me .the <Vom Original zum Modell >(bayern-klasse) from Graefe Verlag is rather disappointing,considering the partially omitted cross-section graph. :mad_1:

hallo , :wave_1:

I have the catalogue of Lothar Wischmeyer/Helmuth Meinhardt here with me , and there is NO plan available of SMS Seydlitz. As with VTH , be carefull some plans drawn are not all to accurate.

regards,

Ludwig

Hi
If your looking for free plans there is a brilliant Website
http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org/

Hope it helped

Thanks for the info guys :smallsmile:

Hi,

here is an other german plan service:

On page 2 is SMS Seydlitz :thumbs_up_1:

Pacific Front Hobbies sells the following set of plans as well:

1/200 German Battleship Ostfriesland Plans by Miyukikai

This site looks interesting too - if you don't know it already.

1/72nd scale Seydlitz, eh?

[b]...Bring it on!!![/b] :eyebrows:

(Types Andy, fairly quietly, since he's STILL plating his 1/72nd Dreadnought.)

I think a gentleman called Lothar Wischmeyer is your man. He's drawn plans for much of the Imperial German Navy at 1:100th scale. He's not (apparently) on the internet, but his address is:

Fischerstr. 17
49661 Cloppenburg
Germany

(Address from a German model forum, correct as of July 06).

There are sketchy (but free) outlines for the Seydlitz available [url=http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org/plans/SM_Seydlitz_1913/]here[/url]. These seem to be drawn from the builders' originals and would, I think, stand a careful redraughting to the scale you want and produce a good hull.

I don't know what the quality of the [b]Taubman[/b] plans are like, but it's just about the minimum scale I'd be happy with.

This work seems like a must-buy: [b]Die Gro�en Kreuzer V. d. Tann, Moltke-Kl., Seydlitz, Derfflinger[/b] from [url=http://www.sell-it-easy.de/shop_d/query.php?cp_sid=57998337258c&cp_pid=123009603&cp_cat=70&cp_tpl=5504_70]this url[/url], which seems to be 60 pages of technical info regarding how the ships were built. (If my German is accurate.)

Greetings,

I am looking for a source of very detailed plans for WW1 German Warships, particularly the battlecruisers, but I am also interested in the dreadnoughts and the last of the armored cruisers.

I am hoping to build a 1/72 scale RC model of the SMS Seydlitz ( one of my favorite ships :cool_1: ) but currently all I have is a IMO fairly lousy set of plans in something like 1/350ish scale.

I see Taubman has some new listings for WW1 German ships in 1/200 scale, can anybody comment on these? It seems like every time I think I found something new, it turns out that its the same old set of plans that are being sold by someone else or resized etc... I hate having to buy plans sight unseen :mad_1:

I really don't mind paying a decent amount of money on good plans if I can find them.

Thanks in advance
