Yes indeed. Wonder what scale they are?

I'd guess about 1/1200 or 1/1250 Nice find.

1/1200 scratchbuilt. Nice and cleanly done.

If I had to guess I would say they look like my Navis's 1/1250. Made in Germany. Most of the WW1 German BB/BC run roughly $70 USD-100 depending on model. They come primered in gray, with the funnels painted black, the gun tips painted gold, and the searchlights painted silver… If you want to paint decks, linoleum decks, etc…well junior…you're gonna have to do that yourself (unless you want to pay $150 USD-250 for a painted one with spider rigging)… They are absolutely superb…they belong in a display case… If I can figure out how to post pics, I will post pics of some of mine Frank

Do the pics in that link have Linoleum decks painted on?

Yes you have to paint the corticene on the decks yourself . Corticene was usually installed where the officers pulled their duties so they wouldn't be tracking tar and debris into the officer's quarters. I use Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan for the decks and I use basalt for the turret tops since the tar/gravel mix would fade to a dark gray after awhile… One other item that makes my ships pop is that I paint the blast bags on the turret guns. Most photos without the blast bags are when the ships are in port or at low speed. I have multiple photos of the blast bags in use in firing photos and high speed photos in action. Frank
