About 2 years ago I downloaded some POF plans ( not the POB plans distributed by Modelshipbuilder.com) for the Matthew , John Cabot's ship. They have the templates drawn for all frames and other parts. I have no idea where I got them from. Though I am pretty sure they were a free down load. There is nothing in the plans that gives any indication as to who drew the plans or owns the copyright. It is 1/48 scale. Does anyone else have these plans and do you know where they came from? I thought they might have come from one of the two groups who built full sized replicas, one in Bonavista Newfoundland & Labrador the other in Bristol England but checking their websites they do not show these plans being available. I want to share them with other modellers in my ship model club but don't want to violate the copyright.

Are they these plans from Modelshipbuilder.com?
No they aren't. The plans from Modelshipbuilder.com are for a plank on bulkhead model, 1/4" to the foot and 3/16" to the foot. The Matthew plans I am talking about are clearly 1/4" to the foot and plank on frame. I have looked on Modelshipbuilder.com and all they have available are their POB plans.

Matthew 1497 1:48 scale by Mike 41 [COMPLETED BUILD]
This will be the build log for John Cabot’s ship the Matthew. It was a small ship without a lot of carvings and gingerbread and there is a lot of information about the ship on this site and Model Ship Builder. The model will be plank on frame, and since the is no original drawing there is...

Thanks. From what I can see the plans I have look very similar. Even down to the red and blue lines.
