Wyrmshadow's Battleships

VinegarJoe already made a ww2 Iowa class.
 
Okay, Scharnhorst is about 90% the way I like it. Here is commisioning and after the planned refit.
 
The hull from the Renown class Battlecruiser that im working on. The hull is the hardest part for me because of all the funky angles.

Yes, I had previewed an Iowa over a year ago but only just now did I get around to putting together a ww2 version. I'm still not satisfied with the colors because there were many variations.
 
MIGHTY MO! MIGHTY MO!

Now I on't know if you're basing this off of plans, or a picture or what, but when I went on the New Jersey her deck was Wooden (Teak, to be exact). So shouldn't the deck be brown? Well, maybe not, because I was on the New Jersey, which is not the Might Mo.

Since Recon enjoys using all my old stuff, and he really needs a generic small battleship for the minor countries..I decided to build one using spare parts from the Dreadnought, Rodney and my Casemate BB... I think it looks okay.
 
When I first saw the Image and hadn't read your text I thought it was a Large Cruiser. Guess its a Small Battleship. Ha ha!
