Wasn't there also a study of a battlecarrier version?

But in Tony Gibbons book, it keeps two front turrets:

I have to get myself an updated 3D package and printer.

Had a look through the website and am impressed, although rather than complete tiny scale ships I would like to go for larger scale bits and bobs, i.e. UK Mk 26 gun mount etc.

HMS King George V, HMS Lion (unbuilt), and HMS Vanguard are members of the same saga. Hire it is my view of the ultimate member, which I would call HMS Lionheart. For conparison purposes, former saga members along with USS Wisconsin (same scale, approx) are included.

Last one is HMS Lionheart. My iintention is to build it from a KGV and an Iowa  models (same scale).
