Anybody working in 1/16inch or 1/192nd scale?

   I am looking for vendors who sell model ship (1920's - WWII era) in 1/16 inch or 1/192nd scale.  I have purchased from Bluejacket in the past and feel their quality is pretty good, but they sell few parts in the scale I am looking for.  I am building a model of the USAT Dorchester.  I chose 1/16 inch scale because the blue prints I had were drawn in that scale, and it was an easy task to make copies, then cut them into patterns for the decks.
   I am especially looking for quality 3inch 50 caliber and 4 inch 50 caliber deck guns,  as well as life boats and life rafts.  Also I need Welin davits.  These are the same type as the Titanic used.  (Maybe they were Jinxed?)
