Hi all!
While I'm building the Victory (slowly, per week) I am building filler ships. I just finished the Viking and am busy with the Swift 1805.
I would love to build the two ships from the title. Does anybody know where I can order or buy either in Cape Town, or anywhere in South Africa?
Or if not possible, where can I source it from in the world?
Kind regards,
Francois

Hi Gan, Get surfin' lad they are all out there in plans or kits. www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk is a good place to start where I bought a bireme plan to scratch build some time back. I'll look it out some time and let you have the details. There are plenty of kits and plans about just Google "model boats". Good luck and happy hunting.  Laury

Found something. If you can find this book "A VISIT TO THE DROMEDARIS: JAN VAN RIEBEECK'S SHIP - AA Telford"  It has sketches in it which "maybe" a ships architect could draw up plans for it based on these sketches.  Hope this helps. Regards Current Build: HMS Victory
