  3. These seem like they would be hard to build. I mean some of the parts are so small.

    Have you tried to build any of them yet?

  5. No I havent yet dafrca - I think their real value is in using the plans to make balsa versions. And they are easily scaled up for, say, 15mm...

  6. Yes, I had thought of that, but because they are PDF and not some form of vector graphics they will loose their quality as I "scale" it up.

  7. But if you are using just the shapes to make the model, it wont matter if you lose clarity on the graphics will it? As long as you can seethe outlones I mean.

  8. Hello gents, Eric here, I didn't realize there was an interst in making larger scale versions of the cloudships and gunboats. Scaling things up, for me, is pretty easy as I do the majority of my work in Photoshop Layer Styles-which can scale just like vector graphics. I can scale something up and repost it, which ONE did you want in 15mm?

  9. Hi Eric - that is a great site you have and some excellent models. For my mind, the Cicada would be the model of choice in 15mm, closely followed by the Czarina or Hamburg.

    "Wow, the greedy part of me wants lots, but in truth the two I am most interested in are the Cicada and the Hamburg.

    This could be quite fun"
