MSW crew-mate Peter Fulgoney (peterf) sends us a dazzling build of British battle-cruiser HMS Lion, as seen in 1912, in this MSW Feature!

Enjoy!

IMHO the Royal Navy of the Great War era had the most picturesque collection of ships ever built, and the Big Cats were no exception. I am particularly impressed with your torpedo netting and associated rigging. Also, was the secondary armament citadel aft a challenge for you?
