Ack, my Naval Annual is back in the Netherlands.
The 'Actual' HMS Queen was a Majestic-class battleship, about
(I'd gather) 15,000 tons, perhaps 450ft in length. The ship
I built is first and foremost 'minifig scale.' All else is just
designed to look vaguely period (although as a few have pointed
out, I've mixed and matched US, German, and British conventions
of c.1905). I couldn't guess at approximate scale wrt to the
real thing.
