I'm still a TA man myself. I really like the way the profiles change as the ships refit over the course of the war, and with the cam patterns added, there is just no comparison when it comes to overall "feel".

this is what I’m hoping to do, all refit changes will have separate profiles… so there probably will be that “feel”…

Wow...at the scale you are using your art talents will be put to the test. Are you planning on just using these profiles for detail screen, and TAs for combat screens?

I don’t see the problem here, this is not so hard and doesn’t require any special skills. Scale is forgiving and let things go faster… one of the reasons I’ve abandoned 275:68 scale.

and yes.. these are only for detail screen...

Subchaser, maybe you contact Tankerace, it seems to me that he has the info about the warships you are looking for. maybe he can provide you with the info's, pics etc. and you paint them like you did. again, superb work.

Sounds good to me, I can do the combat art, and Sub the detail art.

Oh sub, what details are you looking for, I'd be glad to help.

Hehe, thanks Ron. I'm hoping to get as much done for this mod while I wait for Mike Wood to finish up his end of War Plan Orange, and then I have to get back in the nitty gritty of that again.

Not really a camo, but I figure some of the Brit ships need touching up. Here is the KGV, after deployment to the Pacific in 1944 with a sort of camo scheme, new radars, quad pom poms on the turrets, and catapult removed.

Im going to attempt to do one of Princ eof Wales, as she appeared on December 11, 1941 in a wierd blue and green camo.

Thanks Man. Hey your bar sounds awesome. Except for the no North American Football thing. It's the playoffs man c'mon![;)]

Actually, I'm a long time Saints fan. Bobby Hebert, and all those Canuck draft picks.[&o]

Then you, as I, understand the true meaning of pain.

Great artwork all around.I never thought I would ever see correct "camouflage measures" on the Allied ships,and the work being done on the Japanese ships make them look like they will sail right off the screen!..
Excellent work guys.................
