If you have the plans that were on the french SHD site, they will have the most accurate dimensions on them. But are metric, and in french.

 

You might find this of use if you don't already have it.

Thanks for the info. @Anachronus, those are the plans that got me thinking about this. Now, I calculated the weight, it came out a little less than a pound, does that sound right?

Beaver

 

That is too low. The tons in displacement are just that, i.e. how much water is pushed aside by the hull when it is floating. Look for some smallish destroyers that are already on the list and that will give you a good idea as to scale weight. I think Samuel B. Roberts works out to around 3.5 pounds. (in 1/96)

 

Thanks for the idea on looking through the ship list. Does 4.13 pounds sound about right?

Thanks again for the help.

Beaver

 

At 2240 pounds to the (long) ton, 1705 tons is 3,819,200 pounds.

Divide by 96 cubed (if you are building in 1/96th scale) gives 4.32 pounds scale displacement.

Or in 1/144 1.28 pounds

 

Thanks for that formula, Tom. I knew I saw one somewhere, but I couldn't remember where.

I guess Milan is going to have to be added to the LONG list of future builds. Got to love that bow shape.

I'm really fond of the D'entrecasteaux. That's got a beak on it!

 

What about the French cruiser Dupuy de Lôme. She had quite the beak herself. I'd love to have plans for her.

Beaver

 

I'm not as fond of that one's looks.

 

Really... ?
