USS North Carolina Reference
Posted by ww2modeler on Saturday, January 12, 2008 11:14 AM

Just thought I'd post this to reccomed a reference for you scratchbuilders and painters out there. This book is realaticely cheap, I got it for $12 at the USS NC Memorial. It includes all the major refits, colors, camoflauge, markings, battles, plans, etc. ALSO, The map is GREAT for anybody looking to add some detail to there model, and the plans are 1/350 scale so perfect for a model of that scale as no blowups are needed. Heres what it looks like.

1/144 Minicraft P-38J Lightning-50%

Numerous 1/35 scale figures in various stages if completion.

What you're suggesting is a clear violation of copyright protection

I too have the Shoker North Carolina book, and it clearly states on page 2 "Copyright 2006 ... All rights reserved.  No part of this book may be reproduced without written permission from the publisher."  The plans themselves also have a separate copyright date.

There are usually exceptions to copyright for fair use, as in a review.  

But you're suggesting that you will scan and post pages from the document on request.   What you are doing is taking a royalty paycheck out of Randall Shoker's, Tom Walkowiak's, and other's pockets.

(( edit -- the poster was suggesting that he would photo or scan pages of his NC Tech Reference and post them. ))

Sorry, I thought that was only if you scanned them. Is it for pictures too? If it is then I'll edit the post.

Sorry, no harm ment,

Copyright law aside,

Isn't that a great museum.  It's been years since I've been there, but it's probably one of the best ship museums afloat.  The volunteers and staff there keep that ship in great shape and it's truly a wonder to behold.  If anyone is traveling through the coastal Carolina region, make some time to go to Wilmington to check out the USS North Carolina museum.  It's worth it. 

Thanks for the tip on the reference.  I may order a copy. 

Semper Fi,

Chris

According to US copyright and fair use laws, you are not permitted to copy or redistribute copywritten material (without permission) EXCEPT for the purpose of review or backup.

 

Anyone interested in this book should make sure they get the SECOND  copy of this as the first had some errors that have been corrected and new material which has been added.

I've been to the USS Alabama, USS Masssachussets, USS North Carolina and the NC was restored the best. And, if I recall corrrectly, is the only one that has a whole turret open.
