Free Model Contest #5

Skylane (and Toddlea),

Would Dropbox be a valid Option for hosting the Digital Navy files?

EDIT: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will [attempt] to build the HMS Surprise by 'Rocketman Tan' for the Contest...

It would probably be best to contact Digital Navy first for permission before hosting any of their kits anywhere else, even in a dropbox folder, for distribution. Besides, anyone can go to their page to download them where they are now hosted: Free Ship Paper Model Downloads | Modele kartonowe | Kartonmedell | Digitalnavy.com

Robert,

The San Salvador is the only Item that's Downloadable; the rest of the Links are inoperative...

The link to the San Salvador on Roman's site is dead. The museum that hosts this model has moved the download to this link: https://sdmaritime.org/visit/the-ships/san-salvador/.

It's a very nice model and would make a great entry for this contest.

Send an email to Roman to ask if the others are available somewhere or can be hosted by someone or here on Paper Modelers. His contact emails are on the main page of Digital Navy.

I will try to get another email to him. I tried to contact him many months ago begging for a Crack at his beautiful Fletcher class destroyers. I never received a response. I would love to see his kits avaliable here for the community, Ambrose was my first paper model quickly followed by V 108. His kits are amazing, clean and great for introducing people to the hobby.

Hello!

Since I wish to completely replace the stand base for the figure I am thinking of building for another one I made, I wonder how it is considered. Additional parts? Additional design? Extra detail?

I ask this because rule #3 can be a contradiction to what follows right below? Can additional parts be designed for the model in order to modify/detail it? Or must additional parts /details be taken from other existing kits (not a new design)?

Thanks

All modifications are allowed. Recoloring, additional parts & extra detailing are all acceptable.

[CMDRTED]

not an official answer but an opinion, the model itself must be a complete download and not a design as you go ie you have a downloadable rowboat, designed by joe dirt, it comes as a basic sides bottom seats rowboat. that's it the complete kit. now you design oars, life rings anchor etc that should be allowed. as you are designing the add on parts and not the original model.

That's the interpretation I'm reading, I have a rather plain ship model that I'm planning to add various greebles to, some made and a few borrowed elements.
Planning to give credit to all borrowed elements.
