What's New:
We are closing in on the New Catalog for Taubman Plans Service. It will be complete and heading to the printer within the next three (3) weeks. We will be contacting everyone who has requested a copy from the first print with the final price and to confirm mailing address sometime in the next two (2) weeks. If you are going to want a new Updated Plans Catalog, please send an E-Mail to:
Renee@loyalhannadockyard.com, and include your mailing address and phone number.
The Fittings sets for the 1/48Scale LSM and LCI Hulls are now complete and the first run of these
fittings are on their way to us now. As soon as we receive them we will post photos and a list of the parts included in each set. Work is now well underway for the Fittings for the 1/48 Scale LSM(R) as well as the 1/32 Scale S-Boat.
While speaking of fittings, we are pleased to announce that we have purchased the Demeule Fittings Company. This company produced a large variety of fittings in scales from 1/24 all the way to 1/200. We are in the process of taking photos of every fitting and will be including the photo alongside the part number and description on the new web pages as we create them. As there are multiple hundreds of these fittings, the process will take some time, but I will load them section by section so that they are available sooner rather than waiting for the entire line to be completed.
We will also soon have NEW Hull Marking decals. These are draft marks, waterline and centerline marks found on Hulls. They are being produced in white and black and in four (4) sizes. We will have them posted with pictures and pricing shortly.
Coming Soon:
Now in the works for release are gauge face decals and warning sign decals. We will announce them as soon as they are available.
New Product Lines:
We are pleased to announce that we are now able to supply the entire range of Astro-Flight Products. These will be added to our site and catalog as soon as time allows. Until then, please feel free to contact us for information.
We previously announced that we are now working on a 1/72 Scale Bismarck Hull. This has recently spurred on other Manufacturers and we have received word that a 1/96 Scale USS Alaska is in the works and we are expecting availability to be around June. There will also be a fiberglass superstructure available with this Hull.

Taubman Plans Service Update:
Work is continuing on a New Plans Website to replace the current Taubman Website.
The New Site will be up any day now. The new site will contain everything on the existing site with thousands more in addition. We will be adding daily to the site as we want to get it up and still have Plans to add. So keep checking back for the latest.......
Additionally, we have uncovered several New Sources of Plans from around the world. Every one of these plans will be added to the website and catalog. I am sure that many of our readers know of sources unknown to us. If you would like to share these sources we would be happy to contact the suppliers and add their products to our list of Plans available world wide.
Additional Information:
We are in the process of updating Loyalhanna Dockyard's Website, if you have any problems accessing the site, please contact us.
