Hello everyone,
I thought I'd try doing a real-life design (from scratch) for once, considering I already have a few NS-related designs (they're all probably hilariously unrealistic and crappy ) so I picked the greatest (and only) inter-war Lithuanian warship - Prezidentas Smetona. It's going rather ok, although there isn't a whole lot of information and/or photos of the ship, but ah well.


This is what I currently have, a rough outline and a funnel (yay!). I know it needs to be on the template and all that stuff, I'll get to it later.

Has anyone got 20mm Oerlikons, MG08 and ZB machineguns (can the machineguns even be drawn at this scale?) though?

Welcome aboard, Chz.
As far as I know, Lithuanian "Prezidentas Smetona" was originally built as a German minesweeper M59 of the M1916 class (which I've already drawn). And double-check your references because your current drawing seems to be out of scale.
As for small guns, of course they can be drawn. Although in SB scale they wouldn't differ too much from one another. Check out this drawing, it should give you an idea.

Well, this (warning: not english) says it was 62 meters long (some specify that to be 60 or 63), which would be a bit shorter than your M1916 (unless I'm blind or something OR if its length at the waterline, then it would match...). That site also specifies that it was built in 1917, so it could of been M1916 BUT this shows the stern is more similar to the M1915 ones. I'm rather confused now.
BTW, your M1915 looks awesome.
Ah, very well.

These were my references for the M1916 class:

• Technical data (you also can find fate of each ship there)
• Original building plans

I'm not sure why it looks different on the picture; it might be just the view angle or even a result of modification.

I don't think its that likely that it was modified, unless the company that owned it after Versailles modified it.
I'm not sure if its worth continuing this wee project of mine though, considering that you already have the boats drawn and it would only require minor modifications (different armament, probably).
