foot is 0.3048 meters, and all calculations should be made by using that figure... (or 1 pixel equaling 0.1524 meter)

god then we are on the same wave length!

you don't have to call him god, though come to think of it..............

I'm just thinking loud!

My drawing of IJN Ise and IJN Hyūga has a length of 1440 pixels

IJN Ise (Wikipedia)

Length: 208.18 m (683.0 ft) (208.18m * 3.048 = 634.53 ft * 2 = 1269.1pixels) eh (683 * 2 = 1366pixels) hm! here is Mr. wiki calculated wrong. or so is my calculator completely on ...

- My drawing - actual calculated length: 1440 - 1269.1 = 170.9pixels to delete in the length. (Going for this sins I never trust the inter-web!)
- My drawing - actual calculated length: 1440 - 1366 = 74pixels to delete in the length.

IJN Hyūga

Length: 219.62 m (720 ft 6 in) (219.62m * 3.048 = 669.4ft * 2 = 1338.8pixels) eh (720.6 * 2 = 1441.2pixels)

- My drawing - actual calculated length: 1440 - 1338.8 = 101.2pixels to delete in the length. (Going for this sins I never trust the inter-web!)
- My drawing - actual calculated length: 1440 - 1441.2 = -1.2pixels to delete in the length.

Ise class

Length: 215.8 m WTF (215.8m * 3.048 = 657.76ft * 2 = 1315.52pixels) eh okay! must be the length of the lengthen version!?!

- My drawing - actual calculated length: 1440 - 1315.52 = 124.48pixels to delete in the length.

Going to play with it this weekend. I've uploaded the hulls of the two different lengths of the two ships are listed with (I know that they are also listed with 215 meters Ise class.) so until then you can control the length.

Actually, the two hulls might be correct. The two ships underwent major reconstructions (Hyuga from 24 October 1934 - 7 September 1936 and Ise from 1 August 1935 - 23 March 1937), during which their sterns were lengthened by 25 feet.

HTH,
