Hello Gentlemen, :MG:
I am back after a break for a Never Were Fleet on Navalism Forum.
I built Peru Fleet since 1897 to... We are now in 1912
http://www.navalism.org/index.php
I am always crazy about Never Were & I have started since 2 months the Battle Cruiser GK10

Hallo Jefgte
This ship is realy big. The Derfllinger seems to be a "small" ship.
But how long is the ship?
The plan from "dreadnoughtproject" has more then one lenght.
If you look on the ship, you can read 235m and 270m in the description.
Johannes
Hello Johannes :MZ:
This BC is 270x31x9.5 m
Under the hull are the numbers of the framesworks (skeleton of the hull).

Hello Jean-Francois,
these comparison pics are really enlighting!
Had there been any possibility that "the german Hood" and the real one would have met ... it would have been hard for the RN at long distances, so I do guess.
But forthemost, you are the very first one to have given a visible face to this project, and for that I only can congratulate you!
Enjouisse bien tes vacances à bord de la mer - !
Salut,
:ML: Harold
I only hope one day Navis-Neptun will produce it in 1/1250...would be a dream come true :). Probably Jean-Francois would volunteer to build the master :D
superbe modèle!!!
top top
I really do enjoy your work!
Greetings
Karsten
