Naval shipyard

[bhathaway]

I'm looking for some models for a project I'm planning. What I'm looking for is Buildings you would see on or near a naval ships dock or pier. Scale doesn't matter as I'll rescale as necessary.

yes that was first one that sprang to my mind also

From the same blog as the concept aircraft carrier diorama, there is a u boat bunker diorama in 1/700, still available as freeware. Besides a big u boat bunker, there's a workshop as well



On papermodel.jp there is this 1/700 graving dock diorama for WW2 destroyer sized vessels. English building instructions available here in the download section of this forum



From the same author, but on a different page, there is a free SD model of the dry docks of the US Naval base in Yokosuka, Japan. Will probably need some editing to suit your purpose

there is an italian guy i have seen in many of the groups that designs modern warships at 1;700 scale i think.. im sure he did a diorama at this scale for his modern italian naval base

It's for a modern base fo one of my Nimitz class carriers.

This information would have been useful in your initial post

Should not be a big issue, as main port infrastructures, such as piers & dry docks (floating or graving) have a much longer lifespan than the ships that were built or maintained in it. Compare the 1940 situation of Puget Sound with the aerial view from Google Maps (see attachments)
The drydock from Papermodel.jp could be modified to fit a Nimitz class carrier.

On Paper Shipwright there is some port infrastructure available as free download, like a modular quay (see attachments), other professional publishers sell port infrastructures, like this quay side with crane that comes with the JSC model of the coaster MS Lady Clarissa
