G Morrison - for submarines and the the smaller ships like destroyers, minesweepers, and schnellboots I am think of one per class, but the I want to build a matching set of all the Battleships and Cruisers from the Bismarck down to the Nurnberg!

It is designed to be a light switch! The underside of the ship has two holes drilled in it and the upper deck will eventually have LED's. All the portholes on the ship were drilled out. I am currently working on the math required to power all of this and right now I am stuck on a wierd voltage, I have to find the paper but I think it was like 22V, I already have everything else but the last thing I want to do is damage the model.

But you sir, you have raised the bar! What about having the ENTIRE fleet in CONNECTABLE wartime diaramas. I already secured wife permissions! Oh how goals change!

One of each class or one of each ship?

You'll be building submarines for quite a while.

Nice build but I'm trying to figure out if thats a mini light switch on the stand? I think your plans will take a while but it I would love to see that set in water as a wartime DIO. Awesome.
