Greetings,this is my heavy cruiser Zlatibor. A week ago i began to search for picture of warships and found the Ships in Shipbucket style.

I found the Shipbucketstyle Ashigara, removed everything except the hull. And started everything from my own. The guns the superstructure everything custom. The Plane is an edited Rogožarski IK-3 fighter to an reconnaissance plane. The shafting and the rudder is also edited.

(also this is my first drawing,i started to draw this before i found the site directly)

Nice first try Nikolai ! :) One point to discuss: What is the caliber of your main turrets ? 203 mm (8 inchs) ? Because I think that the size of your turrets are a little bit too much. They seem too heavy and huge in proportion of the ship, even if is a ship of japan style...

Thanks,I say those are twin 203 mm guns. The turrets look huge i know. But i like the oversized turrets here. For the future i will make smaller turrets for sure,thats where you are right. Japan style yes because i used japanese ships for inspiration and of course the hull from ashigara

compared to you'r 203mm gun... at the moment, your ship will capsize, when it see water...




Shipbucket is an forum that try to do thing close to reality as possible, even when doing a fantasy drawing, although we have a non-shipbucket section, an this ship is in between non-shipbucket and shipbucket drawing. so members will react differently, just an observation I have done.

Very low freeboard forward, which would result in a very wet ship.

Top heavy. Since it's a cruiser, ideal would be 6 or 8-inch main batteries. The freeboard is also very low, few waves would sink the ship ;)

Yes, she has very low freeboard. Adriatic sea is shallow, except in south (Otranto Straits) and has fairly high and short waves in windy days, like Aegean Sea. Look in WW2 Italian cruisers of similar size for ideas.

You can also look my AU Nikiforos Fokas Missile Cruiser. She is a 1970's designed ship, for East Mediterannean and Aegean (Hellenic Kingdom AU). My cruiser freeboard is almost the same with CGN Virginia.

If your ship is a battlecruiser, she can have 280mm guns.

They are still 5 times to big!

Still top heavy. I suggest moving to a smaller caliber main battery, and the freeboard is still very low.
