I found this on the web ( I don’t remember the site, sorry) and I am in the process of drawing up a set of working plans in AutoCad. If anyone has any additional information on this vessel I would greatly appreciate it.



Thanks
Thanks

hello Charles,
it looks like a Russian Pre-Dreadnought.do you have any other photo's of her.
i might be able to ID her if i have a little bit more info/plans.
cheers,
Bruce

Sure looks to be an Imperial Russian Navy Pre-Dred, but the turret layout doesn't match any of the drawings that I have....might very well be the Russian cruiser Aurora....Do you have any further drawings of the stack layout?

Hello Charles,
Could you please scan the aft of the ship and post it here?
It has the name of the ship and I could translate it to you
Cheers,
Rui

Thanks guys for all the info. Sadly this is all that I have. I had to piece together these plans form four separate scans that someone else made.
Here you are Rui, now that I have the plans in AutoCad I can zoom in closer if you need.


Thanks in advance.
Charles

That hull design is almost unmistakable, but the lack of a decent stack drawing kept me from a 100% definite ID...she sure is a beautiful vessel Charles, you picked a nice subject to model!
Take a peek at this....
