It's a work in progress, still have some fitting out to do, looking for constructive criticism. Working on an AU story line where I tie a whole bunch of ships together in some sort of narrative. It's a BC based on the unbuilt Ersatz Yorck class. Playing around with early experiments with naval aviation, Weather permitting the float planes would be lowered to the surface and then recovered. Now I can go to sleep.

Another interesting ship. Looks quite practical and certainly feels like a period ship. Some details etc on the masts would be nice with some rigging.

Yes, from the 'less is more' school of drawing, and that is no criticism. The bow reminds me of some Imperial German Navy designs.

A very nice drawing/idea.
none the less some points
The ship should be shorter, as there is a lot of wasted space fore and aft.
Most of the big ships in that era had a pronounced armour-belt, which is lacking here.
the rudder seems too small for a ship this size.
A style issue is that in the era of bi-plane folatplanes a ship this size will probably have two or even three funnels.
Other than that it is nice and quite inovatine.

Stuff like rigging is things I didn't want to draw at 1 in the morning. I know it's too long, that was part of the reason for the float planes, take up some space, but I'm just going to shorten the thing. And the bow is modeled after German ships, I really like that shape.

Some changes, still long but not unlike some other ships I've seen. Built for speed so my vision of it is long and narrow.

Rudder still looks too small.
A great improvement on the earlier one.

Looks good. How about twin rudders?
