It's a good start, but the way you've shaded the hull plating makes it look several inches thick. Yes, I thought so too. But I'm scared that she's going to look a little bland, if I remove them. I’ll give it a try later today. This is very nice. Incidently I'm working now on this class and its comp...

During the First World War the US Shipping Board ordered a group of sixteen troop transports to be built. But the ships came too late to see war service. They were all sold to civil operators. This is SS President Roosevelt. She was operated by the United States Lines. http://www.majhost.com/gallery...

HMS Severn in 1915. Severn’s and Mersey's gun barrels wore out quickly, being fired extensively in operations along the Belgian coast. Lacking spares for the Vickers guns; the turrets were replaced by a single 6"Mk.VII mounting. A gun of the same design replaced the two howitzers aft. It was in thi...

Thanks for drawing her! She's my favourite Battlecruiser too :D Must be the three funnels... I'm not certain about your date, though. Tiger was launched December 1913. But by then she wasn't much more than a hulk :twisted:. She spent well into September 1914 in the fitting out basin and ran trials i...

HMS Humber at the end of the war. Gun trials showed a structural weakness at the break of the forecastle which required reinforcement. Her howitzers were replaced by a single 6"Mk.VII. A elevated 3pdr AA was fitted in lieu of the searchlight platform and the topmast was taken down. http://www.majho...

I don’t have any source to quote here but I could imagine that that form of paining could facilitate range fining for concentration firing. These ships where often employed in situation where their targets where beyon...
