With regards to ships of that era, you have a choice of plastic kits or card models.

It all depends on your experience and budget. Card models are cheap but challenging.

Here is a card model I built a few years ago. Its a 1/200 scale model of the H.M.S Iron Duke super dreadnought.

That looks awesome for a card model. I've never seen these, I don't believe. Do they come with everything; e.g. gun barrels, davits, etc. or just the card 'stock' and you need to add the details?

Here is my build log for the card model from a few years back.

H.M.S Iron Duke. Battleship 1-200 scale scratch build.

Hi friends, I have started a new ship build of the super dreadnought H.M.S Iron Duke in 1-200 scale. I purchased a card model for Poland, and I am using this for a reference for my build. I thought that a fully planked and painted model was more authentic than using card, as some models finished...
