Koenig class German battleship model

I made this 10"-long wooden model 20-odd years ago with the intention of making many more for sale in aid of a pet charity. I thought recreational divers who had dived on the actual vessel in Scapa Flow might buy them.
Simple and crude though the model is, I soon realised it was too complicated to be a practical proposition for 'production-line' methods (and the selling price of around £10 I had in mind) so I abandoned it and made 'St Sunniva' models instead. (The 'sea' is faked-up from a blue plastic shopping-bag.)

I've corrected the 'area this picture is best listed under' from Kirkwall to Stromness a dozen times but it just won't have it.
