We carry a large selection of ships plans, which are grouped by series. Each series of plans are ideal for the model builder. Some series show full interiors as well as the exterior. Please read the series description to see if they fill your needs.

USS Fitzgerald has left dry dock at a shipyard in Mississippi, almost two years after the guided missile destroyer collided with a merchant ship off the coast of Japan. That was one of four accidents in the Pacific Fleet in 2017 that cost the lives of 17 sailors.

Do you have a set of 'Official Plans', Archives Micro Film/plan? We are always looking to add more plans to add to our collection. We want 'Booklet of General Plans' and any other Navy or Official plans. We would like to make copies of them and make them available to other model builders. Please send us an email to let us know what you have and terms.

  • It looks like part of a spaceship—perhaps some structure from an Imperial Star Destroyer—instead of the 1,000-ton deckhouse of the new destroyer USS Zumwalt.
  • Imperial I-class Star Destroyers were dry docked, and the forward two hundred meters were removed to make way for a large forward multi-level hangar. Extra shielding is added to the forward section, as well as massive reinforced mesh dura-steel hanger doors. The forward third of the ship now houses the massive bay.

The Mega-class Star Dreadnought, also known as the Mega-class Star Destroyer, the Mega Star Destroyer and simply the Mega-Destroyer, was a class of Star Dreadnought utilized by the First Order. The Supremacy was the sole Mega-class Star Dreadnought in the First Order's service with a colossal wingspan of 60 kilometers. Its construction was undertaken on an unprecedented scale.

THE 'TFW' SERIES OF PLANS ARE HIGHLY DETAILED PLANS DRAWN WITH THE MODEL BUILDER IN MIND. EACH PLAN CONTAINS ALL VIEWS AND DETAILED INFORMATION FOR THE MODEL BUILDER. DRAWN BY TOM WALKOWIAK. The 'Bu' Series of plans are copies of the Navy's builders plans. Besides BB, CV, CA, CL, DD, SS, Landing, Patrol.......it also covers ship's boats, deck equipment & catapult. The 'G' series plans are copies of US Navy 'Booklet of General Plans'. These plans show both interior and exterior views. A few of the original plans have been re-drawn by us due to poor reproduction quality of the original and some interiors are omitted. These plans can be used to build a model or use for research projects. The date listed is the last date the plans were corrected. These are re-drawn 'Booklet of General Plans'. All exterior views and items have been added, however all INTERIORS are omitted. Each drawing is ideal for the model builder. Please the codes to see what views are with these drawings. For drawings without Hull Lines see our HULL LINES SERIES. The Sumrall line of plans were drawn by Robert F. Sumrall in the 1960's and early 70's. These are basic plans that are for the model builder. NOT all plans contain Hull Lines. A notation in the plan description fill indicate this. These plans were drawn by Mr. Alan B. Chesley, and are highly detailed. These plans are well suited for the model builder, and contain all views needed to build a detailed model. These highly detailed plans are re-drawn from official US Navy builders plans. They do NOT show interiors. These basic model building plans were issued in the late 1940's and 1950's for model builders. These are basic drawings with some detail missing. This series of plans are drawn by Mr. Robert K. McCandliss, a long time warship plans draftsman. These are complete sets geared for the model builder. All show Profiles, Deck Views, Hull Lines, Bridges, Superstructure Deck. All of these plans are in 1/8'=1' (1/96) scale AND SHOW THE SHIP AS BUILT.These drawings have been drawn by various draftsman and fill the void for various warships. All of these plans are much like the 'TFW' series of plans. The 'T' series plans are exterior PROFILES and/or OVERALL PLAN VIEWS. These drawings were produced for various publication illustrations. These can assist the model builder who needs additional drawings were no other exist. Also ideal for the former crewmember who only need the OUTBOARD PROFILE. All have been drawn by Tom Walkowiak.
CODE: O=OUTBOARD PROFILE P=OVERALL PLAN VIEW. Plans for building a hull. Drawn by various draftsman and are like the TFW series of plans. Produced by CEVisions.

This class was cancelled in 1943. The drawings show the shipas she might have looked if commissioned by Sept., 1945. Showing thelatest modifications the IOWA class Battleships had as of that time frame. Originallythese ships were to have the auto 3'/50 gun rather then the 40MMguns, but as of 1945 these weapons were still not available to the flleet. So the plan will show with 40mm Quad guns and a mix of single and twin20mm guns. Also will show the latest radar configuration as of 1945. This plan set should be available around March. The drawings will be donein 1/96 scale and a reduced size set in 1/192 will also be available. Planwill have HULL STATIONS.

How many people understood just how many different ships there were in the sequel trilogy? Granted, we’ve seen a few of them before since they come from the original trilogy, and a couple did get used in the prequels, but seeing them in the recent trilogy was kind of nice since it keeps the continuity in a small way at least, which is something that a lot of fans are constantly harping about. Obviously some ships were bound to make it, such as the Millennium Falcon, since they’re too iconic not to see in the movies. Then there are the X-Wings and the various TIE fighters that show up pretty regularly since they tend to be versatile ships that can perform a few different functions since a good number of them can operate in the atmosphere and in space, while the bigger ships tend to remain in orbit since coming any closer isn’t entirely possible without crashing. Once a dreadnought or a cruiser lifts there’s not much chance of bringing them down gently and up in space is where they tend to need to stay. The smaller the craft, the more likely it is that they’ll be able to maneuver in and out of the atmosphere since they don’t require as much lift to get them off the ground. In fact, some of the bigger ships have been described as being constructed in specialized docks that are settled in orbit around the planet where their materials are found, as getting them off of the ground would be next to impossible. Just imagine the Mega Star Destroyer trying to leave a dry dock from the ground, it would need the type of energy that would force it to carve a sizeable hole in the planet just to get up and off the ground, and then it would need something even more to resist the gravitational pull, not to mention the damage that it would do to the planet in the process.

Smaller ships could be manufactured in ground-based factories, though even these are sometimes pieced together in space docks. But the overall feeling of a ship in Star Wars is something interesting since it hearkens to the designs that have been around for a hundred years or more, and there are those that would gladly point out flaws in the designs. When taking into account that it’s all fiction and that it cost way too much to build even one of these ships in real life, one can just imagine what that means. A single Star Destroyer would like run a cost that would cross the trillion-dollar mark pretty easily since the cost of materials, the cost of needing a space-based dock to assemble the ship, and the cost of transporting needed materials from earth would create an exponentially-increasing cost that would bankrupt most nations in a hurry just for one ship. But then one has to think of how many people each one of these large ships can hold, which doesn’t justify the cost but certainly makes the mind boggle since it might be possible to house a small city within a ship.

A Star Destroyer can carry up to 37,000 people, while the Death Star can carry up to 265,000+ crew, which isn’t to mention if it could take on any other individuals. That kind of puts into perspective just how many people actually lose their lives during even one of the battles in the movies, since if one thinks of Starkiller Base, which was an entire planet, they might get a sick feeling in their stomach to realize despite the First Order being seen as the enemy, there were plenty of people that had joined up because of their ideals and the desire to serve a purpose, not necessarily to kill and subjugate others. The Empire was the same, there were plenty of people that didn’t fully believe in the ideals that were being pushed, but they did their job because it gave them a purpose and kept them alive. The ideologies that have been pushed in Star Wars from the beginning have belonged to a fraction of those that are fighting for them, while the rest has been kind of forced to follow behind. One good example of differing ideologies is the fact that there were Mandalorian ships in the mix at Exegol, which is odd since the Mandalorians have had a reason to hate the New Republic in its different forms and not bother about such wars since it doesn’t benefit them.

But then again, someone could have taken a Mandalorian ship for their own and taken up the cause. In any case, the number of ships shown in the movies was quite impressive since the diversity among them and the different designs show just how technical the details get in the movies.
