The Ship Model Forum

Hey Jimmy,

My ships? Well.... I haven't started on them yet. Been a bit busy with personal things that need to be taken care of first.

Hi Vahmp, how are your ships doing?

Hi guys,

Just checkin in, and sayin I'm still here.

Ok Vahmp, feel free to contact when you're familiarized with new OS, these things are boring, I understand.
Sent you some other book for Enterprise CV6, did you receive it? Some other files I think were general arrangements for the class. :heh:

When will you start building the 4 aircraft carriers? Can't wait to see then side by side in rough seas!!!! :woo_hoo:

Nice regards: Jimmy

hi jimmy and norberto,

just letting you guys know.....

i have not abandoned here, just still trying to get eveything squared off on the new computer. :thumbs_up_1:
(how I hate having to re-learn a new OS. GRRRrrrrrr)


Sorry to hear about your wife, I hope she is doing better Norberto.

And Jimmy, I'll be in contact soon as I figure where everything has gone, goes and works on Vista. But I am still thinking of removing it and going back to XP.

To anyone downloading the Foch rar file;

Whe you download from the site, everything is fine, but at un-zipping the file, you will get a "File corrupt" messege.

I don't know whether the file itself is corrupt, or if the site ended up corrupting it.
The "Clemenceau" file is fine.

I managed to save 15 pages worth of the "Foch file", basicly the whole lower hull plans. And combining that with what Norberto sent me, I can build the entire lower hull up to the hangar deck. Minus flight deck, bridge and everything on top of flight deck.

Given the fact that both the "Foch" and "Clemenceau" are sister ships [identical, except for a few minor differances]. These two plans combined [plus online fotos of the "Sao Paulo"], can be used to recreate the "NAe Sao Paulo A-12", with no problems at all.

Vahmp told me that files for "Foch" are corrupted in the link above, but are Ok for "Clemenceau". Retry download here:

I post here a link for the brazilian aircraft carrier "S�o Paulo", ex-R99 "Foch".
http://www.zshare.net/download/627088837bbfa5d1/



The files are [b]not copyrighted [/b]and I donwloaded the plans from the site http://www.servicehistorique.sga.defense.gouv.fr/02fonds-collections/banquedocuments/planbato/planbato/listebato/listebato.php

It may be a repetition but sometimes the link for the french plans doesn't work, and I think it would be easier to download as I put here. :wave_1:

There are 2 folders in the main file, for the "Foch" and her sister "Clemenceau" and both sets are good to reference to the brazilian ship. Vahmp asked for help here, but I bring the link to all friends for the site for you to have these files, hope you all enjoy the design.

Pics of the ship are available in the web, just search for CARRIER "S�o Paulo".

Nice regards: Jimmy

Thanks for the links Jimmy.
The first link, I already had, the second one is new to me.

Thanks again. :thumbs_up_1:

Oh... Yes.... when I go to Rio, I definately want to see her. :big_grin:

[quote="Vahmp"]Hey Jimmy,
Since you are from Rio, I have a question for you.

Is the S�o Paulo docked in Rio?
If it is, when I go to Rio, I would love to see her in person. :thumbs_up_1:[/quote]

Dear Vahmp:

Yes, homebase for "S�o Paulo" is Rio de Janeiro, exactly at downton in the navyard Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro.
The ship is undergoing some sea trials since have finished some work on her, but almost all time is docked there.
More photos of the ship you can get here:

Hope you can go to Rio and see the giant in person!!!

Great thanks. :big_grin:

Tambem achei [acho que foi aqui no forum mesmo] this site with alot of fotos of the NAe SAO PAULO A-12. Lots of beauty shots [fotos de beleza]. And the history of the ship, the only thing that is missing in that site, is the ships plans. But.... Thanks to you and Norberto, I'm getting the info I need on the "Sao Paulo".

Tommy C, gave me the Midway Class for the Coral Sea.

Now all I need to find is the the plans for the ESSEX Class "Enterprise CV-6 [WWII]. and I'll be set. :woo_hoo:

Obrigado/Thanks, e Grande abra�os a vcs....

Hi Vahmp, I sent you some simplified plans, and there it means to show where the ribs are applied in the hull.
Nice regards: Jimmy[/quote]

Much easier to understand.

Hi Jimmy, thanks, I can understand the lines plan, [ lines 1 to 5, on right side, but there is one thing I can't make out well.
The seperation, between plates/ribs [I circled in red what I do not understand].
