Thanks one and all again for feedback. It helps me get through the slog. I'm back once again with a new, not frigate!, vessel. I've also updated my front page to make a more central list of my final AU ships. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
I thoroughly enjoy this AU and how grounded it seems, and these frigates look like great little additions, very well done! Thanks! Is what I was going for. My previous AU ideas always seemed to fanciful for the country supporting it. Hm there are some things that could be done better. - bow - front...
Back once again. I've finally finished my last frigate, both for this train of thought and my AU in general, and I can get back to finishing my auxiliary and patrol vessels and finally posting a nice, clean, centralized ship listing...before I get distracted by something shiny again. ---------------...
Hope the rant in my above post makes sense as far as why these designs are my effort to make good-bad designs. I just hope my skills are up to the task. :shock: :? (I recommend reading my last post on the page prior for you to understand what I mean.) So the general idea I've been developing has bee...
I came to read your post because I found these latest frigates smart looking and attractive. I'm glad I did because not only are they pretty and do the drawings show a logical evolutionary path, but the fluff was interesting too. I just wonder why do you use a different window colour from previous ...
Love the redesigns of the Broomes. They're delightful and seem even more lifelike then before. I half expect to see these tied up to a pier or at a fleet review.
Back again, with my largest post to-date. First I'll say that I've modified my previous Sovereign class images above to make the VLS more visible amidships. Based on the images of the Iver Huitfeldts, the Mk41 does come to the same height as the top of the missile-deck enclosure. So I added in a mor...
The frigate is quite attractive, but I don't understand the missile arrangements amidships. So that may be due to my trying to add some more details to the drawings based on photos of the class. If you look at a photo of the Iver Huitfeldts , the missiles are arranged as four 8 cell Mk41 banks with...
Back from the crypt with some uploads. I've be retooling my AU again (surprise!) and trying to give it a more realistic bend while keeping it's AUy-ness. So for the modern frigates, I decided to do a take on the Danish Iver Huitfeldt class. Coincidentally enough, as I was doing this, that's when Bab...
