A solution ... of sorts.
After I click on the line and CTRL+I up the Info Box, I now have to go over to the left and click on the line(-making) icon/button (or enter the short command V), and THEN the pull downs stay down.
So I'm back designing, but WHAT'S NEXT?? Last edited by LouCoatney; 09-23-2010 at 07:00 PM. |

Actually, there is a very fine (if early model) PT boat in Wallis Rigby's wartime Naval Craft book, McHale. These books are rare as hens' teeth. Incredibly, they aren't even in WorldCat, the Library of Congress's international library catalog, or the British Library's catalogue (and I'm a retired librarian).
The U.S. Naval Academy has his Model Submarines book, but not Naval Craft. I have both. The battleship is North Carolina in mottled colored camouflage. The carrier is GRAF ZEPPLIN!! The cruiser is ... fictional and crude ... as is the destroyer, but it's got excellent other ships and the then-new landing craft ... as well as the PT boat. It has appeared on eBay ... infrequently. As to Olympia, that would be far beyond my interest as far as historical period and detail, but thanks for the offer, Lancer. I'm now test-building the Japanese light cruiser Sendai and the Jintsu/Naka variant of its class shouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, all those IJN CLs of that era seem to have the same hull dimensions, so .... :-) I've actually had more trouble with the Shigure (destroyer class). I started Sendai the day after our new daughter was born in Trondheim, and it's only taken 3 weeks to get so far. (The ship is quite easy to design, except for the masts.) Back to the salt mines. |

Many of the Rigby books can be purchased as PDF files.

The Naval Craft book containing the PT boat is there, McH.
Glad to see Wallis Rigby's work has not been lost. |

Well, Lou, it's actually outside my time-frame of interest as well, but I was thinking we could do a service to both the modeling community, and the historic preservation community, and do a model of the ship with the proceeds going to help save it. It's the only Spanish-American War era vessel surviving, and the oldest steel warship still floating. But not for much longer, I'm afraid.
But that's okay.... I just thought I'd throw it out there! |
