Does anyone make the German Bussard class in 1/2400? Or in any scale? |

Do a Google search on her sister SMS Geier. She was more famous, ending up in the USN as USS Schurz. |

This six-ship class of unprotected cruisers consisted of the SMS Bussard, Falke, Seeadler, Cormoran, Condor, and Geier. link I looked on-line with Panzerschiffe, Viking Forge, and War Times Journal and none of the three carry those cruisers. I did find this image of a "master" for SMS Bussard while searching "model sms bussard" -- link but there is no indication if he makes them for sale. Maybe you can try searching Shapeways for that ship class. link
Good luck!

If you choose to make a model of her this site is helpful with deck plans

Yeah, did everything you guys did and didn't find anything. Thanks anyway. And thanks for the deckplan site. Hadn't seen it yet and it's pretty great. |

link Not cheap, and I shudder to think what the shipping would be. |

Good lord lol. Looks nice though. |

"I did find this image of a "master" for SMS Bussard while searching "model sms bussard" -- link but there is no indication if he makes them for sale." Haha, that's me. In fact, I sell them… but they are 1/6000 scale |

Could you link your website please? Thank you. |
| 1x6000 | 23 Jan 2022 10:28 a.m. PST |
There is no website… yet. I have a large list of 1/6000 subjects which I'd be happy to share. Just send me a pm.
Working on a site, though – but slow. |

link I think this is the "master" image he referred to, but there appears to be a language barrier in the text searches. Bussard at 6000 scale would be .5" long. |

Here in the metric world, the model measures 13.8mm. Just see the matchstick for comparison |

Here is another example of my work. I started by building the missing ships (1870 to 1905) to Figurehead's 1/6000 scale range but ended up in a crazy rush of megalomania, building every ship I ever wanted to do. I came quite far up to now |
