Re Lion class..

I have a rather nice unpublished glass negative taken of either Lion or PR probably near Oban...

here is a view- its conveniently scanned and on my PC[attachment=3]lionprincessroyal.jpg[/attachment]

I also have some photos of a very fine Lion model that was sent to me anonymously--builder unknown.[attachment=2]lion in buid1.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]lion in build2.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]Lion in build.jpg[/attachment]

If you want to send me an e-mail at jbys1@tiscali.co.uk

I will send you the images back at full res if you want them.

Meanwhile

I have (kit) built HMS Queen Mary in 1/700 scale

and Marius Chescu of Romania has built rather a fine rendition in 1/192

I and the rest of the chaps would be very interested to see your model also!

Best Wishes

I built Lion many years ago at 1/128 for Jutland and a 1918 version when she carried a Sopwith Pup on Q and Y turret and also at 1/192 a Princess Royal . If anybody would like to see photos then e-mail me and I can scan [ pre-digtal ] johnrhaynes.shipmodels@virgin.net Deck views available including bridge detail

Aha!

I said the slide was on my PC and scanned--I did not actually scan it myself! :big_grin: :big_grin:
that is quite a specialist job I think.
I got Jonathan Eastland to do it for me( He is a famous yachting photographer who has a marine picture library!)

Cheers
