I have finally received a response from the people I speak too and I`m afraid its not the answer I think you were hoping for. 
They basically stated that there was nothing in the pipeline (for ships), but if I could prove there was enough interest, they would push it to marketing, to see what they said.
Unfortunately I don`t think the two of us will be enough for that to happen.
Sorry, but that`s how it is.
Regards

Derek, Martyn.
It's a very sad state of affairs that ships have disappeared from the DeAg range of models.
But a totally understandable decision by them from a business point of view
I am not a particular fan of plastic models or Sci Fi so sadly, I will be going elsewhere for my kits in the future.
On the slightly brighter side, I am still "work in progress" with my Santisima Trinidad kit and will continue to post as and when.
Good luck to all those ship builders that still exist.
Chris.

Chris. Hi All, especially Chris,
Chris has hit several nails right on the head.
A sad day that ship building has disappeared from the Deag range.
Producing any kit comes at an amazing cost before the first kit is ordered and these costs are ever rising. So people say "I can`t afford that", so orders decline and you hit that never ending circle. No company in the world is going to produce a product that will only lose them money. So ships have obviously not been selling at a profitable rate so have been removed.
I am forever thankful to anyone still posting ship building threads and will be there to give whatever support I can.
I wish I had that magic wand, but alas not to be.
Regards
delboy271155

Morning all,
It seems that the only way to keep the ship building section of the forum going is to purchase from elsewhere and as long as Admin are prepared to accept builds by competitors, I will do my part to keep us going.

Chris Hi Chris and all ship builders, I have no problem with any ship builds being put on this forum, including competitors models. We have an "other ship and submersible" area already on the forum, so feel free to post there. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Admin

Update maybe coming soon... Hi Skyfire, I for one love your Titanic build, so please keep it coming with the updates. Like I said, I just wish I had a magic wand, but as I don`t it will need members intervention to rebuild the interest in ship building. Words like "maybe" need to be replaced with "will be" (not criticism). I will do my upmost to boost the ship building here on the forum, but even in my position as Admin it needs a lot more member input. Please keep this convo going and lets see if we can get ships back on the boards regularly. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Admin COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Gil, They do some very nice kits, the most impressive is the limited edition Victory that I would love to tackle, but at 6000+ parts and near £1200 I`d have to give up everything else that I do and SWMBO would most probably take a sudden interest in "Cricket Bats" OUCH!!! and that may involve a visit to A+E  Still good kits and thanks for your input.
