What's New:

For all those working on Landing ships or interested in working on Landing Ship Models,

we have good news.  We now have firrings sets available to compliment our 1/48 scale

LSM and LCI Hulls.  These fittings have been specially made for us by Sirmar Model Ships

in England and are of a very high quality.  They are in cast resin and white metal and will greatly simplify the completion of these Hulls.  A fittings set for the LSM(R) will be

available soon in the same scale.

 

We are also expanding the range of Plans available through Taubman.  Recently, we have

acquired the sales rights to the following Plans Sources:  A & A Plans, Jecobin, Ingo OSES,

and Wischmeyer.  In each case we will carry the ENTIRE range of plans and all will be listed on the new Taubman site due to be up within two (2) weeks.

WRAM SHOW REPORT

Taubman Plans Service was reintroduced to the Hobby Community and was well received

to be attending the Shows for the first time in a dozen years.  Many customers were very

upbeat to learn that this large range of Plans is still available and is growing.

The turnout of boats on display in the judging competition was rather small but there was some nice craftsmanship incorporated into these models and we have some photos below.
