When trying to re-arrange my 1/700 waterline collection in new cabinet I have gathered the topside view silhouettes of the biggest 20th Century battleship/battlecruiser classes. Then the idea arose to use these silhouettes as the desktop pattern/screen wallpaper. Feel free to use it if you like it - the picture proportions are close to 2:1, so you can still leave some dozen icons in horizontal row above them (on a black stripe added for example) without disturbing the warship gallery. The picture covers 30 largest (exceeding 32000 ton displacement in one point of their history) battleship and battlecruiser classes - ranging from the 1913 HMS Queen Mary to the 1946 HMS Vanguard. The horizontal rows show the introduction period (oldest at the top, newest at the bottom) while the position within the row depends on nationality with America on the left, Asia on the right and Europe in the centre. Of course all the silhouettes are shown in the same scale which makes comparison easy. Cheers Michael

*** This is not GB entry, I thought I would pop it here to be with all its friends :D. My actual entry will be started shortly I got this model about 6 years ago. It was one of the original promotional desktop models given out by General Dynamics at the beginning of the F-111C program (I believe). I had been damaged and repaired by the owner and then passed on to an ACTSMS members to repair the repairs. I was told the owner passed away and the model no longer had a home. I was offered the model so I grabbed it to refurbish it. So I eagerly started to refurbish it Then in my usual way I had issues with the repaint and put it aside for about 5 years. So I masked up the base coat and got back into it The stand was repaired as well and repainted Masking removed. And now it is re-decalled, I used the Southern Sky 'Final F-111 Scheme 2010 ' sheet for this. I just need to repair a broken intake splitter plate and seal the decals and it will be finished
