Mega Size Battleship Model
We've seen huge models of a B52 and a B29.

So It's only appropriate we see a large scale battleship model!

Clive Cussler Forum -> A battleship you can tow!

You know I'd seen this before, but only now did I notice that the owner used .22 Hornet rifle rounds for 5" gun shells. That's funny.

Very cool. Notice the name on the Bow? ME 109E.

I was watching a thing on TV the other night. Some German guy here built a model of the Bismarck about the same size. When trying to put it to "sea" for the first time he damaged the rudder though and it had to be pulled out of the water and be repaired and it was going to take soem tiem they said due to the size.

I know they were even talking about that on the show as well!

The only difference between this model and the Bismarck one is that the Bismarck was a RC model.
