H.M.S Warspite.

**wonwinglo** · 19-08-2004

Can anyone tell me anything about H.M.S Warspite ? the reason that I ask is because a member of my family served on her and I am considering making a model of this warship.
Anything would be of interest and in particular any pictures or drawings from which I could base my model.
Thank you in advance.

If you are thinking about building a model of HMS Warspite then the best thing you can do is get hold of the book Anatomy of the Ship. this is an excelent reference guide. There are also lots of other books both in and out of print which covers the subject

Hi,

A set of Norman A Ough plans for the Warspite at 1/192 scale were available from David MacGregor Plans, 12 Upper Oldfield Park, Bath, BA2 3JZ. However, Mr Macgregor died last year but I think his family have carried on selling the range. If you can get or see a copy of the latest Marine Modelling, they may be advertising in there. Sorry, I don't receive that publication but maybe George can help.

There is also the following model hull available from Fleetscale :

H.M.S. Warspite 1/128th Queen Elizabeth Class WW2 Hull + Drawing L 60" W 10" £117.50 .

Barry,
Reference the drawings Chris mentioned I have a set of them here by Norman A Ough. They are looking for a good home. I will be at Ellesmere Port on the Sunday if you can make it and I can bring them with me.

Thanks for that George.

Can you confirm that MacGregor's are still advertising in MM, or do you not get that mag either.

Chris,
There is no advert in the current MM but that does not mean a thing as companies do not advertise every issue. I have a feeling that Dave Sambrooke does them now.

Thanks George

Have you got Dave Sambrook's web address?

You could send it by private email if you wish.
