John has recently finished re-editing all the above articles into "web" format type articles, and is offering a CD with these articles for sale. The Computer Drafting of Ship Model Plans is not included on the CD, as that article was written too long ago for it to be applicable to more modern computers and software. There are also three new articles on the CD, Making Miniature Sails for Ship Models, Making Hidden Hinges and Opening Light Bulbs (for ship in light bulb models). Also included on this CD is the entire compilation of the ongoing Hull Construction article, including all the parts to this article that have been posted to this web site under the Model Construction page.

This CD is available for $15.00, including postage, to US residents. Canadian, or other residents, can obtain the CD for $20.00, including postage.
