This is HMS Surrey, which is the projected but never built design. The model here is as of the design submitted in 1929. It is an 8" heavy cruiser design, which was considered as a follow on design from Exeter and York. This design was never built as Britain pursued 6" designs instead.
Gamers can use this for alternative what if scenarios.
Simple one piece model design for smaller scales and tweaked to ensure as compliant as possible with Shapeways across the range of materials offered and the perfect base on which modellers can add the fine detail flourishes to, depending on your skill level. The model has ‘enlarged guns’ for the best durability to reduce breakages, and be printable in the material offered. Designed by Philip Warnes and can be used at an appropriate hex scale with his
SeaLion Supremacy game, or any other naval tabletop game that uses this scale.
If you have family that served on this vessel class, why not order a metal miniature to keep as a small family keepsake or gift for someone else whose family served onboard. Or maybe you had family who worked at the yards that built this vessel. Keep your family military history alive.
