Hi All!
In these last days, everyone is busy with Dreadnoughts Campaign, as noticed by the lack of attendees at the forum!
It's good because it means you are producing and lots of models and progress pics will show soon (hint, hint)
Ok, but my intention with this post, is a little bit different...
I just have found this site, with great reference for the real Dreadnoughts, with 3D renders, original plans (even a Type II U-boot) and two picture albums of great historical interest - it almost makes me start to scratchbuilt one of those early Torpedo boats! What lines!!
Enjoy!

Great link. Makes you really wish somebody would actually make a PLASTIC kit of the ship that started it all.
I once found a similar thing on HMS Hood, where somebody was doing a complete computer generated graphic of the ship with tons of details. I haven't found that yet but this link is pretty cool. I may very well do my 1/600 Airfix HMS Hood for the campaign and this is inspiration for me.

I particularly like the ship's badges.

A most useful site indeed. Loads of original plans scans!!! Gives quite some inspiration to start to scratch one of those ships right now!!!
