Hey JSB, I keep using the 4.7" turret because I like the look of it. It is a pity that every time I use it, everybody sees the 'bad' 4.7" turret and tells me so. Altering one of the other turrets to something that resembles an RN style of turret is an option, I just have not tried it because of my l...

Thanks for your comments Seeker3640, 1. Quite frankly the 4" guns were there as much as placeholders to fill a blank area. 1915-16 was too early to have more than the 4x3"AA. I could possibly have put another pair of single 6" in that area or another set of boats and a crane. Plenty of choices, I ju...

Ok, my bad for setting Henrik off, but... How I wish I had the skills to do overheads like that. Mine look like Lego toys in comparison... Well done The only thing that I might change is to have twins all through (drop the triples). In the smaller gun sizes the extra barrel does lead to significant ...

One small point, it is the quads that have the offset magazines, the octuples have them directly one above the other.

The big move in weight is the fuel oil, I read somewhere when I was doing my research for the 3rd Renown concept, that the Renown used 15 tons per hour but I can not remember the speed it used that rate at. Without speed, bunkerage figures, then rate of use becomes academic except as a figure that s...

Nothing wrong with your idea, only drawback I can see if you use them in European theaters. how available ammunition would be for the US guns. On the armament, there is a photo in Navweaps of a Canadian firm building 2pdr quads. While not the best gun, they were better than the 1.1". Always admired ...

Added top view to drawing on page 1.

(For the few of you that checked this thread in the last two days, you would have had a good view of my work in progress, as I added the top view through Dropbox which updates the drawing in SB each time I save my work in MSPaintXP.)

I noted in another thread that I tried to do the Spanish Reina Victoria Eugenia as the never were with 8x13.5". That ended badly and got recycled. 2-3 years later and as one of my first top views I did another Reina Victoria Eugenia as the 15" version. In this, the scenario is that Portugal and Spai...

Thanks for your comments Adam. JSB - help yourself - anything I use I have probably redrawn someone elses original. The PD's I do are true kitbashes, the parts come from other peoples ships. The very good PD's done by Rowdy36, KHT, Blackbuck and some others are not. If you want to use their equipmen...
