Hmm, Looks very nice.
I've got spec blueprints photos and a model of HMS Barham, My Grandfather served on her during WW1, this was before she was feffited alongside Warspite, The two ships being sisters and were built alongside each other.
They cost 1.3 million each to build and then were reffitted during the 1930s for a cost of 3.5 million each (inflation or what?)
Only Barham was sunk all the others went through both world wars intact either being sold or scrapped at the end of WW2
My Grandfather saw action on Barham including the battle of Jutland, I've got photos of the action, But I'm still not allowed to show them publicly, even afternearly 90 yrs, Sorry

But that model looks almost there, I can't wait to see the final version
