"1:6000 waterline HMS Courageous" Topic

Hi all,

I'm looking for a 1:6000 model of HMS Courageous in her initial guise as a "large light cruiser", before conversion to a carrier. Preferably a stl suitable for printing at that scale but a cast model could serve too.

The closest I've found is this on MyMiniFactory:

The model shown is clearly not suitable for printing at 1:6000, but the text says there's a version for smaller scales included with reinforced detail. Unfortunately, there's no picture of that variant, and the designer hasn't replied to a query about it. Anyone's got it?

Other options?

As a bonus, any options for her semi-sister HMS Furious in her never-completed battlecruiser guise?

Figurehead pack 1B34:

Not a great photo, but C&G are in the distance:

Pack 1B44 has all three WW1 versions of Furious.

Hi, at that scale I'd take a file that looked similar for WWII and use it. Anything below a BB in 1/6000 is pretty small. You can find free WWII 1/6000 ship stl's for free on Wargames Vault for a variety of nations.

Thanks.

@John Leahy
The problem is that in WW2, the Courageous class (Furiuous, Glorious & Courageous) had all been converted to aircraft carriers, and no longer looked like the Large Light Cruisers they were originally

@John Leahy: as the name suggests, the "large light cruisers" were not small ships. At 240 m, Courageous was longer than any WWI battleship and just marginally shorter than the Bismarck.

@NCC1717: Thanks. So the 1B34 contains one Courageous and one Repulse? Bit of a waste getting an extra Repulse I don't need, but I guess them's the breaks.

It has been awhile, but I think 1B34 had two of each. See this old catalog:

The Last Square site doesn't show a photo or give a list, the Scale Creep site doesn't list Figurehead 1/6000 any more, and the Magister Militum site doesn't list 1B34 any more.

Thanks again. Two each would make sense as there seems to be 3 or 4 in most packs.
