HMS Minotaur Built at The Thames iron Works at Blackwall. and laid down o the 12th September 1861 and to be named HMS Elephant. the name was changed before launch on the 12th December 1863. completed on the 19th December 1868. the reason for the 5 years to complete was due to her being used for experimental armament and rig trials for 18 months. She was finally commissioned as Flagship for the channel squadron at Portsmouth n April 1867. Went into refit in 1873 until 1875 in this period she was re armed with seven 9 -inch MLR and twenty 8 inch MLR and four Whitehead Torpedo launchers. Went into reserve in 1887 at Portsmouth until 1893. became the training ship HMS Boscawen II between 1893 until1 905 moving to Harwich in 1905 becoming HMS Ganges until 1922. and sold later that year.

Hi Marek,

Any help much appreciated.

VERY VERY NICE!

Britannia rules the Waves again!!!

She will look great on a port visit with the HMVS Cerberus down under
 
For friends from Australia :rolleyes:
Designed by Edward Reed, the Chief Constructor for the Royal Navy, she was one of seven similar vessels. The ship was built by Palmer Shipbuilding & Iron Co. shipyard.
She was a steam powered ironclad of revolutionary design, mounting four guns in two large turrret to the fore and aft of her superstructure. This was a drastic break with the traditional design of wooden warships and pointed the way forward to the battleship of the end of the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth.
She was the first major British warship to be powered entirely by steam, i.e. lacking sail.

HMVS CERBERUS - 75%

Looking good Gentelmen the Harbour will be full soon We are making good progress on the dock ...............;)
 
HMS Inflexible, battleship of the Royal Navy. Inflexible was built at Portsmouth and launched on 27th April 1876. She was the first battleship to have submerged torpedo tubes and compound armour. She served at Alexandria engaging Forts Pharos and Ada, and was the most heavily damaged of all the ships present during the exchange. after serving as port guardship at Portsmouth she was sold in 1903.

HMS InFlexable

HAHAHHAHA Great minds think alike,,,,

I am about 60 percent complete on the same boat !!!!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Love your later version of the Cerberus,, I was just finishing her skins and too to start that as my next big project,, HUMMMMM

whecsailor slinking back to the drawing board ,,
 
to Marek

Have you started the SS Portland of 1898 fame or the USS MAINE also of 1898 fame???


Once my tramper is complete I intend to make a few year variations of her, and then the portland followed by the USS Maine,,

I have complete plans for both.


PS where did you find plans for the Inflexable?/
 
the SS Portaland!?
cool. what about some of the famous WW2 battleships. like the HMS Hood or the Bismarck or even the Prince of Wales?
 
Bui;lt ehm already but FAR too many polys``

The Gmax exporter craps out at about 20 to 25000 polies and even with tricks like attachment, 50 to 60k polys is all most trainz video cards start blinking out

not counting what happens when you get near ports
