seems my mail server is down, as soon as its back up i'll email you the other pic.

According to my source....

she should be 39,94 meters long with a draft of 1,8 meters.

if my math checks out thats 3994 CM long with a draft of 180 CM divided by 144 is 27.74 CM long with a draft of 1.25 CM, wow ...... i have a feeling this isn't going to be on the water much, haha.

NEW plans and ribs are on there way, everything should match what you need, your drawings were more 1/150 they needed enlarging.

i thought you guys were interested in how crappy it will look (be prepared for the worst) or just interested in the fact that i may actually build a ship (not that i dont, but i dont post them).

Just like a PIRATE, defeated at the first hurdle, be like the RN best foot forward , onward to victory, heart of oaks, get on with the build, if its crap so what , give it your best shot, TAKE YOUR TIME READ OUR BUILDS, YOU CARNT GO THAT FAR WRONG. :lol_3: :lol_3: :lol_spit_1: :lol_spit_1: :wave_1: :wave_1: :thumbs_up_1:

uh, actually the build is COMPLETELY different from anything i've seen on here... so yeah... i can. lol. Dont worry, i'm not going to trash it... i'm only doing the hull and basic superstructure tomorrow..... it'll get done, i'm just saying its not gonna be THAT great.... its a combat ship so i dont want to waste too much effort on it.
