    @LangdonRacing why don't you go look at some of the big guys on the site and get some inspiration from the works. I think it may help you get better as you go. :)

    I believe you new here

  • NS Red Globe III 6.8 years ago

    I know this isn't a build request area but I would like to see what you can do considering you make amazing ships that are basically to scale and I ask you this. Try and put the best amount of detail in to this ok. that is if you want to try this anyways.


    hey @feanor I think this would be a good challenge to make it as detailed as possible and the ship I'm talking about is the USS Montana (bb-67). here some history, details and a few facts the you might not have known for the montana class battleship. I doubt you will read any of this but here it is.

    Montana Class (BB-67 through BB-71)
    1941 Building Program. Construction cancelled 1943.
    The five battleships of the Montana class, authorized under the 1940 "Two Ocean Navy" building program and funded in Fiscal Year 1941, were the last of their kind ordered by the U.S. Navy. With an intended standard displacement of 60,500 tons, they were nearly a third larger than the preceding Iowa class, four of which were the final battleships actually completed by the United States. The Montanas were intended to carry twelve 16"/50 guns, three more than the earlier class. Protection against underwater weapons and shellfire was also greatly enhanced. They would have been the only new World War II era U.S. battleships to be adequately armored against guns of the same power as their own. To achieve these advances, the Montana class was designed for a slower maximum speed than the very fast Iowas and had a beam too wide to pass through the existing Panama Canal locks.

    Completion of the Montana class would have given the late 1940s U.S. Navy a total of seventeen new battleships, a considerable advantage over any other nation, or probable combination of nations. The Montanas also would have been the only American ships to come close to equalling the massive Japanese Yamato. However, World War II's urgent requirements for more aircraft carriers, amphibious and anti-submarine vessels resulted in suspension of the Montana

  • I have started a mobile friendly boat replica series and I would like suggestions 6.8 years ago

    @Jerushah ok and since have made 3 very detailed ship, I believe this ship will give you a run for your money in size, detail and time on this masive project you have taken and you will be the first in all of SimplePlanes the make the montana (bb-67). also if you need some pics on what it would have look like let me know and I hope all the weapons will be able to fire. other than that I think this will be a good challenge for you and good luck because it will be hard to make it look accurate and detailed and humanly possible. so good luck and be the first to make this legendary ship a reality.

  • I have started a mobile friendly boat replica series and I would like suggestions 6.8 years ago

    I know the ship I'm about to mention will never be mobile friendly but I think it would be a good challenge to make it as detailed as possible and the ship I'm talking about is the USS Montana (bb-67). here some history, details and a few facts the you might not have known for the montana class battleship. I doubt you will read any of this but here it is.

The Montanas also would have been the only American ships to come close to equalling the massive Japanese Yamato. However, World War II's urgent requirements for more aircraft carriers, amphibious and anti-submarine vessels resulted in suspension of the Montanas in May 1942, before any of their keels had been laid. In July 1943, when it was clear that the battleship was no longer the dominant element of sea power, their construction was cancelled.


    The Montana class would have consisted of five ships, to be constructed at three Navy Yards:
    Montana (BB-67), to be built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania;
    Ohio (BB-68), to be built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard;
    Maine (BB-69), to be built at the New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York;
    New Hampshire (BB-70), to be built at the New York Navy Yard; and
    Louisiana (BB-71), to be built at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia.
    Montana class design characteristics:
    Displacement: 60,500 tons (standard); 70,965 tons (full load)
    Dimensions: 921' 3" (length overall); 121' 2" (maximum beam)
    Powerplant: 172,000 horsepower steam turbines, producing a 28 knot maximum speed
    Armament (Main Battery): Twelve 16"/50 guns in four triple turrets
    Armament (Secondary Battery): Twenty 5"/54 guns in ten twin mountings (ten guns on each side of the ship)

    The following images represent preliminary design plans prepared in early 1940 as part of the Montana class design development process. At that time, it was intended that the first ship of this class would have hull number BB-65. None of these plans represent the design finally adopted for the Montana class.

    The following image represents a preliminary design plan prepared in mid 1940, comparing the Montana class hull profile with that of the Iowa (BB-61) class.

    "Battleship Study, BB 65 - Scheme 1 and BB 61-64 (Incl{usive})"

    Preliminary design plan prepared for the General Board comparing the outboard profile (including superstructure) of the Iowa (BB-61) class battleships with the hull profile of the Montana class.
    This plan is dated 9 July 1940 and shows the Iowa class outboard profile in solid lines and the hull of the Montana class in dashed lines.
    At the time, the Montana class was planned to begin with hull number BB-65, rather than BB-67 as it became after two more Iowas were ordered as BB-65 and BB-66.
    Scale of the original drawings is 1/32" = 1'.

    The original plan is in the 1939-1944 "Spring Styles Book" held by the Naval Historical Center.
