A vitally important question: Has anyone drawn Engadine? The 1960's RFA helicopter support ship, not the flying boat support ship...
If not, I think I've found my very first real design to draw. At which point, does anyone have any resources for the dirty great bugger? I haven't begun hunting yet, but it's worth asking :D

An additional: Who does on need to talk to to get a username changed around here...

Do you mean you are going to trace a photo scan Barnest ?

Heh. No. Considered it. Can't get a good res scan :P
I'm searching around for a good plan view, something like modelling instructions. Unsure of how to proceed otherwise. But am carrying on :)

I have only ever done that once, I think It was Campania. You need a bang on 90 degree shot taken level, which in itself is nigh impossible to find. If I can find a drawing I'll send it to you. ;)

Yeah, I can't find one, and I don't know if its great practice. Builders plans or a model kit instruction set would be amazing, but reasonably difficult to find it seems.
Thank you kindly :)
