Many thanks for posting the phots, Mike. I saw this model in 1975, and have been disappointed by its disappearance since then.

Hi,
This is a great build you've done here. I have always liked the look of the County Class, a very British design and look to them. At the start of your thread, you mention 1/200 card models, where did you get tham, and are they still avaliable? The card models can make a great set of ready made templates.

I'm not sure what image width problems you're having - I can see the whole picture (plus a lot of white border) quite normally, and it shows up as the same size as when I view it by itself in separate window.
Ah, I see what it is. The problem you're experiencing is limited to those who use the "prosilver" board style, which places all the user information on the right side of the screen. If you use one of the other two board styles (subsilver2 or SkyLineBlue), the user info is place on the left hand side of the screen, and so the pictures will show up completely.
To change your board style, open up the User Control Panel (Upper left of screen), click "Board Preferences", and then where it says "My board style", select either SkylineBlue or subsilver2. You will have to get used to the "new" style, though (I put new in quotes because subsilver2 is actually just a slightly modified version of the old original board style from a year or two back).

Photos of the late Norman Ough's IWM HMS Dorsetshire Diorama |
 |

All:
It looks like the above images are too wide for the format of modelwarships.com, and that the right margins of some of the photos have been cut off. However, if you rightclick each individual photo-pair and save it to your computer's hard drive, and then view the photos there, you will be able to see them in their entirety.
My apologies for this!

This is just a word of encouragement on the model. Sounds great. My dad was the navigator on the Dorsetshire Walrus from before the Bismarck episode to the sinking. I was surfing to see if I could find a model for his 90th birthday. I'll watch this space for developments!!
