I'm seeking a STL file for a 1/1250 scale miniature of a fictional armoured cruiser warship, similar in size and gun layout to the Imperial Japanese Navy AKI dreadnought, with 8 x 2-16" primaries and 14 x 4.7" in casements, 3 funnels, basic conning tower, tripod mainmast and tripod mast aft. Extra details like anchor chains, folded torpedo netting, air vents, hatches, etc. would be great but not absolutely necessary, depending on the price. Since a ship with this layout never was built, there are no photographs. I am relying on the designers experience and familiarity with the subject matter to propose something. This will be used for wargaming purposes. Requirements: - Material: TBD - Detail Level: Moderate Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience in creating detailed plastic miniatures - Familiarity with naval warship designs, particularly the AKI dreadnought - Ability to achieve moderate detail in craftsmanship
