Back in the 70's I made an RC model of this ship which has been on a shelf for decades. With retirement I have the notion of overhauling her to add detail the teenage me omitted (and modernizing the speed control from rheostatic to ESC).

 

I have two sheets of plans from David MacGregor, "lines" and overall views. Details on hatches etc are hard to make out, plus there are some dotted additions of searchlight platforms that were added in 1916 which are illegible to me. Also I have read she had several Lewis guns and something like 8 or 9 rangefinders (some in the turrets) which are not evident in the drawings.

 

Does anyone know of a book which might have on-board photos of Lion? I see plenty of photos of Lion steaming along but very few on board.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Ian

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
