Model plans for USS Dictator

Thank you Devin.

I shall get the plans from Maryland Silver. One of our club members is a printer so I shall ask him to do something creative with a photocopier and get them all to the same scale.

Thansk for all your help!

I wish you fair winds and good sailing!!!

I just took at look at the Taubman Plans website:

http://www.taubmansonline.com

and also at their print catalog that I have, and no Dictator is listed. Looks like Maryland Silver is your best (and maybe only) bet.

I've noticed that the sheets at Maryland Silver are in different scales as you noted, too. Don't know why. Maybe to make use of the full sheet of paper?

I've got several of the plans for ironclads from Taubman, and every sheet is to the same scale (usually 1/96th).

One thing that also might be of use, Thoroughbred does a 1/600 scale kit of the Dictator in white metal: http://www.warweb.com/thoracw600.html

Thansk for that DDP. :thumbs_up_1:

One strage observation ....
All of the decks seem to be in a different scale. Is that an American thing?

She will make an interesting and unusual model on UK ponds.

Can anyone tell me where I can obtain a set of plans to build a model of the USS Dictator?
