Ordering ships' plans?

Hello all,

I was wondering, have any of y'all gotten any of those ships' plans from that MarylandSilver company? If so, who detailed were they? Do they show the various decks, berth deck deck layouts, etc.?? For example on those plans of the aft half of the CSS Savannah that I have posted a time or two it showed the officers' cabins arrayed along each side of the aft section of the Berth deck, storage compartments below decks, engine room, etc. (I just wish the forward half of the plans could be found!).

The reason I am asking is that I am thinking of ordering the plans for the CSS Tennessee. I think it said they were done by a David Meagher and cost $50.00.
Here is all that it says about those plans:
CA-015 CSS Tennessee, (Ironclad ram)(1/8" scale), by David Meagher, $50.00
Outboard profile, 36"x55"
Deck plan, 36"x55"
Lines/plan, 36"x55"
Engine details, 19"x36"
Details/section, 19"x27"
Casemate, 19"x27"

Fifty dollars is sort of steep so I was wondering if any of you had ordered some plans from them before then perhaps you could tell me if it is worth it and how detailed the plans were.
Thanks y'all,
David Edelen
Millbrook, Al.
