Lynn,
I just saw on the Squadron site, a 1:350 U.S.S.Texas from Trumpeter.

Sketchup Warehouse has a USS Texas model, it just needs to be unfolded to make a card model. I don't have time to do this, but hope somebody can take the torch and cross the finish line. I visited the USS Texas in Houston last year, but didn't have time to go aboard. She's currently leaking like a sieve and is in danger of becoming an artificial reef in Houston harbor.

On the website of The
Historic Naval Ship Association there are lots of ship plans including New York, Texas, Colorado, Idaho and lots of others. I just copied USS Astoria, a New Orleans class cruiser. this site is a scratch builders paradise.

Thanks for the information posted here. My father had a collection of paper models which I have been selling on eBay. There are a couple of these in the collection. When I first looked at them I didn't think much of them. I didn't even see a brand name until I found the little copyright on the side of the page. They have price tags on them for $3.50. I think he picked them up at a museum sale. Anyways, if anyone wants to look it up, I have the H.G. Watkins heavy cruiser Houston on eBay now.

Thanks to everyone who checked out the Houston. I now have the British battle cruiser Renown up for auction on eBay.ca. Also have lots of Wilhelmshavener ships and some airplanes plus a few Maly Modelarz, Halinski and ERKOtyp kits to look at while your there.
