I had given some thought to re-drawing the USS North Carolina from the Wallis Rigby Naval Ships book. I would imagine the Rigby models would be of the simplicity you are looking for. Perhaps one of the Rigby ships could be used as a basis for a USS Texas model. Funny this should come up, I just ordered a book on the Texas. Doing models for museums and charities is something I’d be very interested in doing.
I have heard about the plans to build a dry dock for her. It would be rather impressive since most of the ship’s mass is below the water line. And it would show of her ram bow. It’s a shame more of the older battleships were not preserved.
