Excellent work Tempest, you've indeed come far in your skills and this is a very fine drawing. |

Thank you for the comments everyone. I've really enjoyed drawing Baden.
I hope the Bayern itself will be also treated by your most capable hands.
BB1987 is right about Bayern, it is my intention to draw the incomplete Sachsen and Württemberg.
What was the purpose of the stern spirit?
Unfortunately I have no information on that, SMS Moltke had a sternspirit and a bowspirit during his trials, so it could have something to to do with that.
One (very) minor nitpick though: on the 1918 version, you mention white circles painted on the B and C turrets. I can find only the one on turret B. Is there something in the turret shape that makes the other invisible from this angle?
I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that, in all the photos that I have seen of Baden, 'C' turret's hollow white circle has the edges missing and because the circle ends before the turret's roof changes angle the circle hollow remains out of view completely.Regards Tempest. |

Because I have no accurate dates from the photos that I used for references

BADEN have a circle painted on B turret with edges painted & a circle painted but not edges painted on C turrets ! |

Thanks Signal and Gd Colombamike do you think it was to aid in distinguishing between the two or because the turret had been painted a different colour? |

Fantastic work, Tempest! Finally the SMS Baden has been represented in SB-scale. I love it. |

Wonderful drawings I can see you use the badge, so I'll reckon that you've found proper source for it, and then I can upload the badge template in the CoA thread? |

Thank you maomatic and thank you Kim. Kim, I've found no photos of Baden fitted with the coat-of-arms but I've gone with the logic that the ship, having been christened after the namesake, the Grand Duchy of Baden, although not fitted on a crest externally, would have the coat-of-arms of the Grand Duchy in the same manner a ship in the Royal Navy did. After the war, Baden would undoubtedly have had the crest fitted to his bow had Germany won. |
