| I pulled the speed list from the NTXBG site. It gives the minimum speed of 22 knots. I will follow their rules and boost the speed of any ship below that to 22 knots. The speed on the chart will be in seconds/100 ft. Pax, A. quote:

I haven't heard anyone screaming that the Big Gun speed chart is too slow, so we can go with that. If it's not satisfactory, then we can always change it later. Who's got a copy of the chart? I'll get busy with rudder pictures. Got to get the scanner hooked up (my main PC doesn't have a serial port :P
Anyone else wish to scan in rudder drawings of their plans? If you do, please put some inch markings so someone using it can build accurately :)

| On another note I am including ships launched between 1905 and 1945. This means I am including classes that straddle the line. Any class with members launched between 1/1/1905 and 12/31/1945 is going to go in.
Admittedly this is so I can have more predreadnoughts to play with. It's only fair to let people know about this quirk of the list maker. [;)]

Exactly so...I drive by the bow scroll of the old USS Louisiana (BB19) every day on the way to work. Pax, A. | | | Vive la France! | |

Sigh....I have plans for a couple of pre-dreadnoughts, but I haven't had much luck finding plans for US ships of this era. I built a USS Mississippi in 1:144, but it wasn't an immediate success, and I gave up too soon. It might work in 1:96, but the plan isn't the greatest and involved a good deal of ummm....interpolation. I don't think it would scale to 1:96 I do have a decent plan for the Russian Evstafi, which is the same size. I also have a decent plan for the Tsarivich, but it falls short of the date range. I also have some decent paper models of the Deutchland and Andrei Per????sky which should work too. I have a 1:96 plans for HMS Lord Nelson and I also found plans for some French predreadnoughts here: http://www.servicehistorique.sga.defense.gouv.fr/02fonds-collections/banquedocuments/planbato/planbato/listebato/listebato.php Sigh....So many cool ships....so little time.... | | | |

| I am getting a Conneticutt worked up with an eye for trying it under the Treaty combat rules. I think a Mississippi could work but I don't think it would be easy. Pax, A. quote:

| A bit of an update on progress.
I have completed Conways 1860-1905 and 1906-1922 volumes. Working on the last one now. I have also added a column for the trial speed of each class. Work on this got a bit side tracked in May and the end of the semester but now that June has come, I should have a bit more free time.
Pax,
A.
