Default viking ship plans ripoff

The message . net
from "Boris Beizer" contains these words:

I have been burned by Terrence Jones who has been advertizing viking ship
plans. He has my money, but no plans are forthcoming. I paid him $90 for
these plans as well as some supplementary material (photos, etc.) that seem
to be stuff available at varrious web sites for free.
After many tries to reach this joker, I did a search on yahoo groups and
found that I am not alone. All would-be ship and model builders should take
warning from this.


If any one has ever received these plans from this joker, I'd like to
know about it.
If any one can give me leads to accurate plans for the gokstad ship in
1:48 or 1:50 scale, I would appreciate the lead.


thanks.

Hi Boris,
do you have a email addy for this geezer? have a search for
Taubmans plans which i think is www.taubmanplansonline.com but may be
wrong, very big supplier of plans in the States, only other idea is to
contact the museum where the ships are displayed, usually they produce
plans for vessels to raise revenue for supporting the museum itself, if
you have no luck let me know and I will ask around.
I am a builder of commission models and have email lists with around
3000 other model makers to pass enquiries to, in fact I run two lists
myself so have plenty of friends who may be able to help,

regards, Terry
