What do you do when you have built and painted all the ships at Jutland ?

Build the ones that weren't there of course !

A selection of ships from both sides who failed to make the big bash mostly through maintenance or crashing into your mate (in the case of Australia).

The bottom pic shows just how far warships came in less than 10 years from the revolution that was Dreadnought to the Super D Queen Elizabeth. As always lots more pics on't blog.

The only scale I know they are made in is 1/350 for modellers; I had hoped you would now different!  Considering there were 41 ships in nine different classes and they were widely used for shore bombardment it does seem a neglected area; no doubt suppliers feel there is insufficient demand.

I think with the advent of more and more home 3d printing it won't be long before they appear on the likes of Shapeways
