Impressive!

Nice that you have built the torpedo boat hangar!

(/edit: Großbeeren (see the battle in your block) is one of the neighbouring villages here)

This looks like an extremely well-made model and worthwhile restoration project. Looking forward to watch the progress.

Here I have a few pictures of the models in Venice: http://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/venezia/museonavalevenezia-1.html

Incidentally, a German colleague of mine has been working on a similar (civilian) project for a couple of years now and really did a wonderful job to restore the model to its former glory: http://www.u-boot-net.de/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1435. If there is good substance all the effort will be worthwhile.

Hi David Welcome This is a superb subject and one seldom built . I rememebr seeing Brian King's 1:96 Duilio at the Model Engineering exhibition in the UK some 7 years ago .a truly superb model but at that time not quite finished as I recall .

Actually I am restoring this model.
It seems to have been built in the 1930's to promote Italian Mare nostrum ideals. It was sent for an Expo to the US . Most of the small detail and accessories were stolen along thr years .Finally it ended on ebay by a private owner in Auatralia.Fort Rinella Heritge Trust bought it. Virtu ferries happened to be taking delivery of a catamaran from Australia to Malta which also delivered the five foot model of the Duilio.
The model was in a sorry state and needed many replacment parts. I was approached to restore the model to which I was highly enthusiastic.

A great set of plans in 1/100 were purchased from Germany.

This particular ship has special connection to Malta and the FWA Fort Rinella heritage trust. Two Forts in Malta Fort Rinella and Fort Cambridge were constucted in 1884 to house the 100 ton gun as used by the Duilio and the sister ship Dandalo along with other Guns in Gibraltar.
