Hello again!

Now to something completely different - I've always wondered why no one ever did these beauties in SB style. They are not based upon Rurik-1's drawing, but all new (less effort to do them from scratch than to recolour that one).

And very nice too. Perhaps a stupid question but why did she have a red funnel ?

Before the war, the Germans needed a method to distinguish specific vessels in the battle line. Since there might be two, three, four, or even five ships of the same class in the line, lack of a visual reference could become a problem during maneuvers. Thus the German Navy, like others, chose to paint horizontal stripes of either red or yellow on one or more funnels to distinguish individual ships, their squadron, and their place within the squadron. The designations (and number of stripes a ship may wear) changed as new ships were added and roles changed, but the use was continued during the war (more on that later).

For the ships color, frome the same link as above:

Fantastic work. Nothing to say about the ships themself, except that they look fantastic. As for nomenclature, maybe you could add the 'SMS' prefix and put the year in brackets. That would look a bit better, in my opinion. You should also add the Coat of Arms for these ships as well, they would complete the drawigns!

Ha! I've done both and not sure I agree with you there mate! I must be doing something wrong...

Fantastic drawings you have done here, really great work!

P.S. This just reminded me of something :)
