I've been chatting with Paul at Tumbling Dice about adding some Turkish Pre-dreadnoughts to the Age of Battleships range over the last week or so. The good news is that he's looking into it and has made positive noises but the bad news is that deck plans and profiles are not exactly easy to track down.
In the interim, I'm going to try to convert the ABB 21 HMS Eclipse light cruiser model into the Hamidiye and Mesudiye, which are similar enough to be feasible. This would require remodeling the foredeck to make it flush, adding a plastic card strip along the centreline with three funnels, then removing the gun mounts after and replacing them with a single mount.
I think I can pull this off with a bit of luck, having some previous experience with scratch building and converting ironclads. I just need to find some time to give it a go!
