You can get a 1:200 HMS Iron Duke. I have one and it doesn't look to complex. Check link. http://www.hobbyfactory.com/Ships-Warships-WW-I-Warships/c32_39_57/p376/HMS-IRON-DUKE---British-Battleship-WW-I/product_info.html

An absolutely fabulous looking model. I have been scratch building a 3 masted Barque which is taking me forever. I have also been mixing up the wood with card stock.

This thread is the first thing I check out every morning. Your work is insipring.:thumb:

This is such an amazing build. I have never seen such amazing work. This could pass for wood or plastic.

The store has a side profile blueprint which you can buy, but does not provide any other sections or plan views. I dipped into my drawing collection and found another ship almost the same which had that information. I made a drawing where I used the data from the other plan and massaged it a...

Are you posting pics of your wooden ships somewhere? I am presently working on one as well for my brother. Its a scratchbuild of the tall ship Elissa out of Galveston. I like to slip in card models as a break from the Elissa. I really want to start on a big battleship in paper, but I only...

I find that the bamboo is good for making masts as well. Not sure what you mean buy making it more robust. I am guessing that to are refering to where the lower mast and upper mast overlap? I bought the TOVARISHCH, but have not built it yet. Some years ago I built the Yacht AMERICA (also from...

I think it turned out rather nice. Can't see why you are not pleased with the results. If I may offer a suggestion for the next build you plan to do on it, you will want to rig the Jib topsail differently. The edge of the sail marked with the red line is the side of the sail that should be...

Oh ya. This is great.
