Those are real beautes, DP. The detail is great, without turning too cluttered. Really like your take on the later roman soldiers, though I think the helmet on the one standing just above the 500ad line looks somewhat early? That modell looks more 2nd/3rd century to my eyes. I'd expect the Draconari...
Looking beautiful. I like where your style has been going. Will you be revisiting any more of the Italian ships? Would love to see them get a touch-up.
I'll clarify. You credit on the credit line. That's where you've put your own name under the name of the ship in the drawing. It's to make sure even off forum people will be able to see who has contributed to the drawing. However, most of the parts you've used in this case do not require crediting. ...
Design wise, it looks solid. Always a fan of large cruiser designs. I'm curious about the armour though, with the rest of the stats being rather high. In regards to the drawing, there's a bit of a way to go. Some of the parts are obsolete(drawing wise). The screws in particular belong to a parts she...
I'm a bit curious about the secondaries though. I'd have thought the Mk.12 to be pretty universally featured on ship designs from this era, and those turrets looks like something else.
I like the beefy superstructure, but I agree with heuhen's words. And by a quick head count you're shipping thirty two 3"/70 guns, which is... and obscene amount. Particularly the raised mounts looks like they'd interfere with each others' arcs of fire, and I really don't see the need for them to be...
Looking good. Love the top views. Check the turrets though, there are some discrepancies on the top view, with the telescopes on both the primary and secondary turrets being on the wrong side aft, and the outboard telescopes on the secondaries on the side of the bridge having been omitted somehow.
Well, in short... Yes, you could probably fit six 350mm guns, and decently balanced speed and armour on 25 000 tons. As for range and cruising speed... that's really going to depend on how you want to prioritize. If we assume that this ship is intended to slug it out against enemy battleships, and n...
