This is the first Z23 German DD hull from my mold, which was made around 1998. After Ralph Coles and I sold about a dozen hulls I sold the mold to Battlers Connection. While I was back in med school for specialty training (1999-2003) I often loaned molds to Ralph to fill orders when I didn't have time to make hulls. In the foreground of the right photo are my turrets for the QE Class and other British ships with 15" guns , HMS Hood, and Espana.
