Shark7's Little sketchpad

[Shark7]

Finally, I am satisfied with how my relics are looking, so here is a little preview image of the ones that I consider 'finished'. Enjoy and comment.

Are you planning on doing the old Tsukuba (BC), Ibuki (BC), Kurama (BC), Katori (BB), and Satsuma (BB) classes?

[Shark7]

BB Kashima is the Katori class...they have been referred to as both.

Ibuki is up for a rework, Kurama is up for a rework. Satsuma and Tsukuba do have modernized models already out, look in Gary Childress'es thread. I may do the the build versions of them, these things take time, at the moment I am working on Yakumo.

My bad. I had it in my head that there was a difference between the two (different funnel arrangement).

Another preview shot of several cruisers and destroyers. This is actually starting to be fun to me. [X(]

Are you coming up with stats for these? If so, how are you figuring out the gun criteria.

Basically I'm taking the original build configuration and counting each mounting on it as a hardpoint for that weapon type. Obviously a set of Torpedo Tubes counts for more weight, etc...

Here is an example of how I am setting these ships up for a 1940 usage...I just picked one at random, and it happened to be Shikishima.

You will note that I have removed the torpedo tubes from all the ACRs and BBs, converting them into gunboats to fill the 'Coastal Battleship' role.

I asked my question wrong, what I wanted to know was the guns that are not in the current DB. How are you coming up with the data for it.

[Shark7]

Ah, just find a reference and add them in. You just need to get the stats.

Hi folks I would like to let everyone know that my late uncle Graham ( hellfirejet ) has done all these ships for War Plan Orange,and they are available to download if intersted! I have included the Japanese Dreadnought Satsuma as a preview[;)]

kirk23...

First off, I'm not upset by this, but you might be better off putting this in it's own thread with the link to get better exposure and allow folks to download and to comment if they like.

Up next are the French...
