I ssaw this on TMP recently and thought it was worth posting here as well. Excellent modelling skills on this:

Ouch!
Great model
Impressive!!!
But which ship is it???
Most of the normal recognition features have been consumed by the explosion :o :-\
If I had to guess I would go for SMS Yorck :-\
I flinched when I saw this, it's so lifelike! :o Brilliant modelling skills, there.
Exceptional model.
As to which ship - I'd go for HMS Thunder Child :)
Excellent work on such an unusual theme for modelmakers.
It's not HMS York, bow and bridge are wrong...
That is absolutely brilliant
Take care

After a bit of rummaging on the net I believe this is a model of the Russian pre-Dreadnaught Borodino exploding during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905.
Of course, I may well be wrong but what you can see of the model matches pictures of the Borodino on Wikipedia.

I agree, that is why I suggested
SMS Yor
ck, a German Roon class Armoured Cruiser that strayed into a "friendly" minefield

Not sure the Russians had the brass eagle on the bow, also didn't Borodino have those strange anchor ramps
D'oh! Excuse my misread!
That..... is rather splendid !

Another suggestion is SMS Pommern at Jutland, those main guns look too big for Yorck.

What impresses me most is the water pouring off the raised hull sections. That is not easy to achieve.
I'd agree Mollinary, looks like the SMS Pommern

I'd agree, in which case it should be at night, early morning 1st June 1916....

Agreed, the water effects are really impressive
SMS Pommern is more likely, on close inspecton there is what appears to be a centerline screw in the first picture
Wow that does look impressive.... :-bd

If it were the
Thunder Child, would any modeler resist a tripod on the horizon?
Probably not FK...

HMS Verbose ... that's the ship.
Who let the junior officers in ?
IanS
I think it's time you bought the next round, Ian.
Goes to tap with pint glasses - turns cold on and fills with water.....
