[quote="Richard J OMalley"]I will have to put my other projects aside for a while because I have been asked to build a T3 tanker hull for Bob Hoernke a member of the NC Model Ship Builders . This is going to be a joint project between him and I. I will make the fibre glass hull and some of the deck fittings while Bob does all the real work on the ship . The hull needs to be ready for the NC fleet run in Oct so I will be back to work on Mutsu and the BK1124 in Nov . Four of the T3 hulls were used to build the Sangamon Class CVE's. Bob supplied me with Plans for AO-22 Cimarron and CVE-28 Chenango .He is not sure yet which one he will build ,the Cimarron or the Chenango . [img]http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/byrdman6/USS%20Cimarron/USSCimarron7.jpg[/img] The T3 Tankers were part of the Maritime Commission 500 ship program began in 1938 .Cimarron was built by the Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. Chester PA . in 1939 .She was 553 x 75 x 32 and could carry 146,000 barrels of oil .The first twelve T3 hulls were built for Standard Oil. They were given Native American names for rivers and lakes . [img]http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/byrdman6/USS%20Cimarron/cve28.jpg[/img] The Sangamon Class CVE's were the largest CVE's using converted hulls .They were the only CVE's to carry dive bombers . The plans for AO-22 Cimarron were purchased from the Smithsonian while the Chenango came from Floating Drydock .

Timothy is quite right.
So, I have received my hull from Richard O'Malley and the Police Department has been notified as such. Criminal charges have been drooped.
For claification of this issue and for a critique of the hull provided by Mr O'Malley, please follow the this link to a Warship Models Underway thread entitled USS Charleston:

Jonathan, I see on WMU that you have received your hull. Unless you have something else you are filing charges for, you should update your post. It is not right to make an accusation like that and then just leave it out there.

Re: T3-S2-A1 Tanker Scratchbuild in 1/96

I am sorry to hear of your complications and missgivings about Richard, J. He can be a quite busy man and Im sure its just a bad misunderstanding between the 2 of you, and I hope that it can be sorted out. Richard is an artisan of model ship building and I have seen how much effort and time he dedicates to that end, let alone research, mathematical scaling and other things that can hold up projects.

I myself have a main project that is at a standstill for reasons that I won't go into here. Several side projects, and I have people who want me to stop and make them stuff, so I have to learn when and where to say no otherwise nothing gets done and I would have a garage full of 1000 things that are partial complete and no one is happy. Richard is probably just overtaxed and I'm sure he would be happy to finish/fix your project, unless there are extinuating circumstances. That being said, I hope I haven't put a Rope around your neck Richard due to the fact that I'm not privy to the full story here. I have been folowing Your projects with great interest just as I do Paul Salomone's and a few others, and as I have seen you guys follow mine.

I do wish the RC world would get away from 1/96-1/100 scale as I personally hate those scales, however this is like arguing if steaks or pork chops are better. I'm lazy so You know that I like the 1/72 because I don't want to scratch build the airplanes (which I could). anyways keep on keeping on and love Your work. Smooth sailing as always. Haratio.

Folks,
Please use extreme care when having any dealings with Richard O'Malley.
I commissioned a hull from him in NOV 2011 and while he claims to have completed it, demanded the second half of the commission fee,(and received it), he is refusing to ship the hull.
I have saved every communication between Mr. O'Malley and myself and could blanket the board with them, anyone wishing copies please contact me.
In the meantime, I have filed criminal complaints against this indiviual and am pursuing further actions.
BUYER BEWARE.
