| Your'e correct about the scale, it would be in the region of 106 feet in length. You are also correct in that I have never built a "scale model of anything" at least not from scratch. I am however an experienced boat builder and very familiar with constructing working craft in the 100 ft range. I would have no difficulty in taking a set of construction plans for HMS Victorious reduce the scale and then turn out a 100ft hull. What I am not familiar with is the sort of nuances that go into taking a 740 ft aircraft carrier and making a 100 ft boat that not only looks just like it, but has the feel of it, certainly there are methods that scale modelers use to bring this about? |
