You're kidding right? Your English is excellent.

I've made a smaller version of the Elco80 mod. It's probably about 67%-75% the size of the one I posted. In game it looks a bit small to me, but you might like it. I'll be glad to send it to you if you like. Post, or PM me with your email address and I'll shoot it out to you.

I also took a look at the "Atlanta" and compared it to a side view drawing I have. I'm not sure what I'd change on it. Can you be more specific as to what you think it needs? Thanks.

Hi mandt!

Thank you for that, but I'm nothing without my dictionary... And thanks for your efforts on the Elco! My e-mail is Taffy-03@gmx.net , but you may as well put the new Elco on this forum for the benefit of all!?

Regarding the Atlanta class graphic, I think the UV picture doesn't really catch the graceful sheer of the hull, it should be emphasized a bit more - especially the forecastle should be higher than the midship section. And I think the stern section abaft the after turrets should be a bit longer - at least on the real-life pictures I own it looks like the stern abaft the turrets is slightly longer than the bow section in front of the forward turrets, but in the UV art it is vice versa. Now I hope my eyes don't have played a trick on myself...

Regards,
LST

Re: The Atlanta, okay. That's just the kind of info I needed. I'll take another look tonight.

I'll send you the Elco tonight too, though it will probably be early morning your time. I'd like you to take a look at it before I post it. If we decide the size is good, I'd like to tweak it a bit before putting it out for public consumption.

Later.
